This one looks pretty dope

Can't decide whether I'd have black, white or blue.

Black and white tape

58,5. A tad too short, but the price was right and the length suited me nicely. I need to get some spotter bars for flat trans as I am always riding the hoods. And the shallow drop will be nice for sprints if I end up racing this. I need a road bike for next summer and contemplate on selling my geared cross to fund such a bike. I am not sure I will be able to keep up in cx race with gears so I won't sell until I am completely convinced that this steel BJ will do the job.

Speaking of SS-winter-rides. Got this resprayed 1991 BJ CX Reynolds 531c on eBay for 100 gbp incl. shipping.
Built with Mavic Aksium I got off my geared Empella CX (70 gbp bought used), which I am going to upgrade with new Campagnolo Khamsin (on sale in Denmark at moment).
Got the saddle and conversion kit from a fleemarket held in Copenhagen this weekend for 10 gbp .
The tyres are Kenda, but I would like to upgrade to Challenge grifos og fangos as I think tanwalls will compliment the Burned orange color.
I found the bar tape in a dumpster and will likely change that for something darker when it wears out.
Cinelli stem was 15 gbp used, bars free from a friend and headset and seatpost came with the frame.
The Frogglegs I had laying around, but I will change them when I get some money...
All in all a great ride for ca. 230 gbp.

I want some spotter bars for my Bob Jackson and would like keep my Cinelli stem. Do any of you know of bars with flat transition and shallow drop that will fit 26.4 stems? Or du I shim up?

Sounds nice. Any bigger races worth coming from Denmark to participate in?

"mud clearence" + "cause I'll be using it for touring, not for competition."
Does not compute ;-)
Unless you will be touring mud...
Still a nice bike. congrats

Beaut. You should consider lowering the anchor bolts of the cantilevers though. Especially on the front it looks weird.

Some old Dugast og Grifos would look nice on this build

ok worn then? ;-) Like it anyway

super nice. I love this. Keep the suede turbo and invest in some fizik microtex suede bartape. The stem is boss!

yes

But certainly not that wrong as Michelin to discontinue the full green Mud and Sprint. What an idiots!

I am pretty sure you are wrong. Wildgripper is only MTB. The sprint was for riding in dry conditions and is not the samme as the Mud. The gumwalls was dropped on later editions of both cyclocross tires.

@saddle: You need to do your homework ;-)

love this

exactly. They are my fav thing to put on a bike ever. I paid almost 40 gbp for a used pair ;-)

yes

Not Wildgrippers. Wildgrippers are 26" - these are 700c Michelin Mud (cyclo cross)

valves wtf?

You put them on wrong. Nice project though

Thank you spj7. My gf will call you tonight and arrange something tomorrow around lunch.

I would like your levers if you send them to Denmark. If not I wil get my girlfriend to pick them up as she lives in London.

New compact FSA bars (best I have ever done for myself in the cycling department) and front rack mounted for a 5 day 500 km trip starting tomorrow.

Edit: The cables needs to be cut after the new bars. But I am fitting carbon forks on it in 10 days so I didn't bother to fix it.

pm

2nd dibs if you'll ship

Bike theft is a world thing I guess. I shouldn't have locked up my bike to a 1700 gbp mtb.They took both. I was stupid.
I will have to refuse your kind offer. I am looking for cyclocross specific frames. - Catilever bosses.

Hey

I am looking for this

Would love it in 110 mm 15 degree rise (1 1/8").

PM if you want to sell me yours..

Nice bike, but not what I am looking for. Thank you though.
