All the bikes - 2x Serotta, 3 x Surly (LHT, Pacer, 1x1), Colossi CX, Pompino V3, Bob Jackson Vigorelli

CBA to have separate threads for bikes so I'll just start a new one [with the new things] and the old. Tokyo Fixed was bought couple years back as complete build and has stayed fairly untouched, wheels/tyres changed occasionally and recently flat bar instead of drops + took the brake off. decided to attempt to smarten up the brake surface & clean and regrease most bits of the daily beater

if anyones curious:
Tokyo Fixed S2 57cm
Magic Ellipse + Token 15T
FSA Gimondi 48T
Michelin Dynamic Classicz 25c
Izumi chain
Bullshit NoName Seatpost & stem from Kinoko//Tokyo Fixed + Turbo
Unbranded flat bar with sweepback + ANML Edwin grips

AND onto the new guy, thought a couple of you might have spied this on the bay ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seatpost:
c-t-c 52
c-t-t 53.5
Toptube:
c-t-c 54.5

Frames is in mint condition, not a mark on it bar where the nuts have been overtorqued on dropouts.
BB stamped with date code NA5460 which dates from 1998.
531 designer select tubing
Omas "Big sliding" headset (campy super record substitute)
Unknown BB at this time [will strip and regrease before crankset is put on]
clearances seem large-ish atleast in comparison to some of the others I've seen on here; front 23 max, rear possibly 28 [have a 25 on it tucked into the dropout]

Well done - You got the triple triangle, I was one of the other bidders
Dibs if you sell it at any time :)

Triple Neil is hawt

Yasss well done on getting it! What are you thinking buildwise?

That Neil looks lovely. Paint seems to be in excellent condition?

@SideshowBob you're 1st on the list
@haveo Atm it'll just be built with spares & bits from other bike so I can ride it before summers out
@Tijs fresh off the forecourt!

Here is the small progress made:
spare wheelset which I built a few years ago only to have lying around
Campy high flange onto Alesa 913
36H, rear hub from early 1960s so 110mm spaced, front converted from road hence grease port
25c on the front are a no-no

3ttt Chromix corsa + no name alloy flat bar & edwin grips (lent from other bike)

thomson elite + Selle Condor light Ti rails (195g!)

tempted to put some ergo drops on but that might be too sensible.

will try source shallow risers, possible gumwalls + a crankset (help anyone?) so I can get rolling

I was bidding on that frame too! Thought somebody on here probably got it. So sick.

Bought a GT Edge road frame the same day, for the Triple triangle FOMO.

yes mate that orrell is niiiiceeee! didn't know you were on here!

The Neil is banging! Love the head tube decal 👍🏻

Looks a lot like @Skülly sunmer whip, which is gorgeous..

Not as blingy as that^ though! Flam paint and a little chrome on there...

531 decal is in a funny place though, Neil puts them on the DT near the BB shell #Ianal

Oh really? Mine is at the top like this one

Looks wierd from the side near the rear-facing seattube badge.

You are right actually, I've never noticed that. One reason mine might be up there though is because I have a couple of Manchester velodrome stickers on mine at the bottom

Took a while to get finished as I moved my concentration on to finishing the Lance EPO machine

That's lovely! Gumwalls on it look great!

They both look great.
Orrell - What size/make are the tyres ?

Thanks!
@SideshowBob they're BLB black mamba's, could only fit a 23 wudda liked a 25

Ta

Picked this up a while back, Colossi Rambler CX, with custom disc + canti mounts
Columbus Zona tubing, is missing mech hanger but am talking to Jan Kole about getting a replacement made
55x55, 58 C-T

HTA 72
STA 73
BB drop 65
Chainstay 425
Front Centre 585

55t DA looks immense on roadie, I have one on my fixed.

Made some progress with the colossi, gonna turn it into a 1x10 road/gravel/touring/do it all.
hope headset & cable adjuster, wheels have arrived; Shimano cx75 laced to TB14s, with 32 Gravelking SKs & Sram 11-36T cassette

few updates to the stable;
Collosi - swapped Hope headset for a Chris King SV, 1x N/W ring from alixpress on Sram Rival, Gas pipe stem, Nitto B812 bars, Saint shifter to a Zee Derailleur, BB7s. Clearance for 40c tyres so maybe get something bigger? or go 650 - just need to get some VO guards & a rack - thinking Rawland Raidoverks Porteur or a nitto canti mount.

Still got the Monster Orange P7, new cables & brake pads - RD changed to Deore M510 to match the hubs, & replaced sticky LH shifter - Will maybe get rid of once Colossi finished (N+/-1)

Bought this Atlanta off @WimVDD end of last year, has a faint glitter in the paint (maybe not original but WTH adds to the kool factor). Havent really done much done with it, was worried it wouldnt fit (more on that). Has a Kinesis Aluminium fork, serial maybe dates it to early 1997? Paint is rough in places and had some dodgy touch ups. lugs are great, the cool S on the Brake bridge and lugs is a nice little detail. DT and ST are tapered - DT 10.5cm to 12.5 ST 9.5 > 11.5cm increase rigidity around BB.

Shortly after paying & arranging the Atlanta I found a Serotta Classique in my size, Fillet brazed Reynolds 853 w/ original F1 fork (weighs practically nothing). Purchased thinking the Atlanta might be too big, and would therefore get rid of, love both of them. Intend to build the classique into a Sunday best roadie.

Only progress with these two is HED Ardennes on Hope Pro 3s, 28c LGG Strada, 6800 brakeset & FD+RD. Surprised the 28c fit on both frames, clearance is minimal up front on the Atlanta due to the Kinesis Aluminium fork. Plan is Nitto UI-12, compact drops, Praxis Works Cranks mid compact, Campag Carbon 11s Shifters to run 10 speed Shimano - or use Jtek for the 11s.

Got the Gazelle Cross,

Gave it a good clean, and regrease. Plan was to make it into a commuter; Drops, 32c tyres and 9/10s group but realised I'd have difficulty mounting mudguards as the neither the fork or rear bridge are drilled (CX frame) and didnt want to deal with a rattle. Settled on smaller tyres, couldve gone 28s but chose some Jack Brown Mile Munchers. Wheelset was supplied by @WimVDD (alongside the serotta), Mavic Reflex Ceramic on Ultegra 6600.

As for parts; Tiagra 4700 Crankset, Ultegra 6800 FD+RD, some Aliexpress pedals, Tektro CR520s, Nitto UI-12 (quill to 31.8), Ritchey drops, Campag Veloce 10s Ergo shifters. Had to get some inline cable adjusters as frame doesnt have cable stops, was a PITA the set up indexing properly. Biggest headache was the brakes as the frame has old spacing so newer cantis/mini vs dont fit, was thinking about replacing the front studs but would ruin the originality so decided to try and bodge it somehow. luckily the ceramic thinline pads from koolstop left just about enough room to work.

dibs, please, on the orange if you sell it.
