Should make an interesting project

How are you planning to build it up?

Not sure yet, but rims will be 406 Sun CR 18s in polished silver ,will wait for framset to arrive so I can sort out dimensions , brake drop etc

Saw loads of these mini vélos in Korea, looked like loads of fun!

From what I can tell from the frame geo this one isn’t as extreme / twitchy as most mini velos .
Still I will see when it arrives

Put the Campy groupset you've listed on!

Yup could do , or the 7800

Saw a lot of this in Japan. I thought the main reason behind them was that they were able to travel with them by train? Anyway, saw all kind of builds, really liked the full on TT mode builds with tiny, deep section wheels or the randonneur style with shiny parts, chrome muds and brown Brooks. Whichever way you go this will be a lot of fun I'm sure!

Go on... do it!

Seriously for a second though, won't 406 on that mean you've got to use flexy, long-drop brakes? (I know 451 is a bit of a bugger for tyre choice)

Looks fun though. Subbed.

sub'd - always wanted to try a Minivelo!

Mmm just looked at SJScycles they have 451 rims and tires that would be perfect

No not the look I want ....

Shame, unsubbed

£1400.00 for a pair of 2o inch wheels, not this mug!

I've had an ebay alert set up for a 20" aerospoke for the past year as an upgrade for a shopper bike. Not a single one has come up.

Ever.

Project looks amazing BTW.

Haha!
I vote that this should get the 7800 GS.
Keen to see this build progress. Subbed.

Maybe , just dug out another Campagnolo 8-9-10 hub set so can go full Campy or Shimano 10 speed

Keep in mind that 8 and 9/10/11 speed Campy freehubs are different!

I think you and I would be bidding against each other on that one, if it ever appeared! I will settle for some zytec mags instead.

Yup got 8 speed rear campy hub ,steel freehub different hub spline pattern, with a nice mint campy 8 speed cassette. Plus 9-10 Rear hub , alloy free hub . Also have a couple of pairs of ergos just got to work out what speed they are.......

Frame set currently held by HMRC to assess duties to be paid.

Thats really fast delivery!

It arrived Friday in the UK, should get it by the end of this week if HMRC and
Parcel force get there act together
