a buddys hhsb euroline, made from max tubing. with converted rear wheel (relaced to record track hub)

gorgeous Hansom! good luck finding a big seta, they are hens teeth rarity and I've never seen one bigger than 56.

looks like a valve extension you screw on th existing valve (for deep rims). maybe the real valve core underneath it is still closed?

you can try corima brake pads or similar cork-type brake pads, they should ( at least the corima ones claim that) have very little abrasion effect on the rims and you should be able to squeeze many more miles out them.

a buddy got a bargain on a max frameset. but we couldn't find anything about the euroline brand, best guess is, that it was built by some australian builder that I can't remember the name of.

yo, buying components is difficult on the flea markets, basically only complete bikes are sold. kleinanzeigen is the best shot for individual parts, I search there occassionally, too. if you search oldschool stuff, cicli berlinetta in Prenzlauer Berg can sort you out, but the shop is not the cheapest.

they even have a website: http://berlinerfahrradmarkt.de/termine , next one would be the 20.08. at Berolinastraße 20, 10178 Berlin

my colossi cheeko / goldsprint ronin. its from the time frame when colossi produced in taiwan and many shops had the frames in their own colorways. bought in a winter sale from the Goldsprint shop xmas 2015 i think. must have ridden about 35000 km on this as a commuter. it's on its 3rd wheelset now and I broke a saddle rail once. still my main commuter bike.

stronglight chainrings are good quality imo, nothing wrong with them

i like the ugliness of it

a friends bike has a bodge I really like: adjustable stem with massive bolt from the hardware store

a friend finished his colossi with some mega hhsb wheels

more like hhsrb or do we have a folding bike thread?

lil write-up of the Saturday tour:
we met with @Brameses at 9.30 , only to be delayed by a broken stem of a mate, but luckily he lives 200m from the starting point and one bike swap later, we started our tour. we had perfect weather and first headed to the flea market. it's not very fancy and unfortunately, there were only complete bikes and absolutely no parts sale, so we just took a stroll and had a nice chat with one of the sellers. highlight was some ancient bike computer, pictured below. we then headed to the finish line of fixed42, but instead of watching the race we drank beers and enjoyed the sun. bram left us after this but the remaining ones wanted to see the new standert kreissäge rs, so we headed to the showroom at Friedrichstr. and checked them out. 1.6k just for the frameset ......
all in all very lovely ride with @Brameses and others, top guy !

nice catch! the wheelset is the icing on the cake, too bad about that lost nipple! I´m sure with enough time to your hands you can shake it out of the rim through the valve hole

hey ho everyone, me and 2 blokes want to do a little ride saturday, we start 9:30ish at Schönhauser Allee / Kopenhagener Str. and head down to the bike flea market in Kreuzberg - Köpenicker Str. 11 (10-17h opening times) and maybe to the Standert Showroom later.

that AARN fits the HHSB bill - its expensive AF

yes, no problems, I own 3 different f5 lattice chainrings and they went on nearly every crank I own without issues

i measured 4.8mm thickness for the f5 chainring

will measure when I'm home

ah okay your concern is the thickness of the spider arms if I understand correctly - I actually never thought of that issue - opposite to the pic I'm running a F5 chainring at the moment and had no problems so far

alter rings have recessed boltholes too

do you have pics ? the hidden 5th bolt in the crankarm usually is super long, so thicker chainrings should be no problem. and many chainrings have recessed bolt holes, to allow the use of normal chainring bolts.

very nice catch! other than the repainted dropouts, it looks not too sad actually.
