VMB Vintage Modern Bicycles, Postmodern (classic style) and Custom parts (drillium, WW, replica...)

Great stuff

Wild on so many levels… Let’s count the kaleidoscopic approach to bike building:

• Saddle bag (oh yes) meets frame bag
  
• Frame meets fork
  
• 80’s cork bar tape meets Dura bling
  
• Wheels/tan GP5k meets everything else (including that cardigan!)
  
• *EDIT d/t shifters are cool though (h/t Jose, I’d forgotten about those!)
  
  

It is both vintage and modern though…!

Any idea of the downtube shifters on the Litespeed running 11-speed?

They’re bar end shifters. You can use the internals and mod the 7900 Downtube levers to be 11 speed though.

My guess would be microSHIFT 11-speed road, though they only seem to come in silver.

Cheers guys. I have 7900 shifters with the rest of the visually challenging groupset, would love to swap to 9000 so will take a look at that. Someone has done it here:

Ok same fork crown? Looks nice

Thats superb. Can you make out the makers name on the downtube?

This is good. What's the frame model?
