Wheels are from local builder in Bali, I guess he ordered the rim from Kinlin. It has similarities with Hunt Aero 31 (which uses kinlin rims).
Cycling around Jakarta is quite challenging, though its quite fun especially in early morning in weekends.
@Momentum whoah hello, surprised to see another Jakartan in here. The photo was taken at semanggi flyover, always empty at Sunday morning because of car free day.
Definitely will say hello if I see you and your bike, I usually ride my Ritchey / merckx / hampsten (all steel) on Sat or Sun morning.
-
The pic taken at Jakarta.
Pardon the water bottle. This bike used to be mine but now my good friend take care of it. Though he's not that detail when it comes to bike.
Anyhow, here's my merckx with new Turbo saddle. Look much retro with matchy white perforated leather saddle n bartape. Previously I used black SLR saddle (second pic).
-
Haha all eyes on the bartape, eh? Indeed, its caused by earlier event before the impromptu photo session. Definitely gonna rewrap it perfectly, thanks for the suggestion.
And yes, quite agree its a RGOOF as the groupset age is almost 30 years.
-
Is this still considered neo retro? Frame is from 87 and the Chorus groupset is from 95-96
-
The blue frame looks like the latest iteration before the MX Leader conceived. Full max frame but with MX L fork.
I happen to own the more earlier version corsa extra max, around 91-92. It appeared in brochures in 91 and 92.
-
Too much silver or just the right amount?
-
Would be great if my fork is threaded. Lucky mine is threadless so I'll be looking for slim looking modern stem.
-
Yep, the frame flew to my flat. Indeed, it's an excellent yet underrated frame. Glad I snatched it at the right time.
-
@GideonPARANOID thanks! It's definitely unique, the tubing is Nitanium - probably tube that Ritchey developed.
Anyhow its fully built now. Also found the brochure this paint job is Team Excel, apparently a big retailer in US for sporting goods.
Congrats anidel!
