Best friends Jack Taylor tourer set up for 2 weeks of solo-touring from Åre-Stockholm:

Time to let one of the other ones go then ;)

Selling my Champion Mondial AB-frame from -92 here on the forum.

Frame SOLD.

So my CM AB-frame from 1992 in "Cyclaam/Wolkengrijs" built from Reynolds 531 Competition is up for grabs. By Gazelle sizing from 1992 it's a 58 which means:
Seat tube - CTT: 580mm
Top tube - CTC: 560mm
Head tube: 158mm
BB drop: 65mm
Wheelbase: 987mm
Has 132mm rear ends and takes both 130 and 135 hubs with ease, I've always used 135 wheels. Fits 28mm tyres with ease, I had Grand Bois Cerf's on TB-14 mounted with tons of space left. The the Campa Record headset comes with the f+f. All threads, british, are in really good shape and the frame is straight and un-crashed. Paint is kinda hard to photograph since the magenta/pink has a pearlescent effect to it.

I'd like 250£ for it excl. shipping.

Hubs SOLD.

As stated I have a pair of un-used/un-laced super light Mack hubs that just sits in a box. Regular track hubs spacing, silver, double fixed threading, two Mack-lockrings. Really a pair of no nonsense bombproof track hubs. Don't know how long his waiting time are right now etc.

I'd like to sell them as a pair.
Price: 180€ + shipping.

This hasn't made it's way to this thread yet so here goes:

Sold!

Some inspiration! Sure it's quite a bit burlier than what you are planning. 1x10, 160mm X-fusion forks and mostly parts bin build. Gonna drill it for a dropper soon and get something functional but "budget". I'd really look into X-Fusion forks, they can be had really cheap used and aren't much £££ in the UK, I bought my Sweep for 150£ and the Streat model should fit your build really well!

Fred is the embodiment of rad <3

Hey, thanks!
The 3x 32h wheels I have for the Somec are TB-14s laced with Sapim laser to Mack hubs. A truly awesome wheel set, sure not the lightest in the game but I haven't touched them since I built them 5 years ago, still straight and bombproof!

Thanks, the frame is at 1824 grams but I haven't weighed the fork unfortunately.

Thanks for all the hoorays and nice words lads!

I ride them with both wheels kinda equally, zipp's mostly for fair weather and when I feel like going fast. Really love that the frame takes the Grand Bois Cerf 28s on the alloy TB14 with room to spare! Such a pair of comfortable wheels.

@hp93 & @Tijs: When the time comes for new chainrings I'l definitely have a look at black ones! Thinking T.A Nerius or Stronglight CT2.

Like I said, finishing the build yesterday or today. So here it goes!

And with my "go fast wheels", just under 8kgs at 7,9.

Thanks.

Gonna keep stem and seat post black, it'll also go better with my zipp 404's.

Well since progress on the custom transfers seems really slow I'm probably finishing the build today or tomorrow. To anxious to get it out on the road, it's just standing here in my living room staring at me..

Took it out in the sun the other day and snapped a full ds photo as per some wishes ;)

Absolutley, got mine from here.

Hi.

Price bump: 450€+shipping.

Thanks @Verbs_&_Nouns (ilu tarckbro™), kinda hesitating the full shot until its proper done done.

Could always sneakpeak one for you ;) Weather is shit here today so an indoor shot would have to do..

Looking forward to this, fuck I really loved Blakey's haunted splatterbiek.

Keeping you in mind @Thrust.

Still not much movement on the build, been kinda lying low for a while. Still waiting to hear back with details on the new transfers. Got the new Columbus transfers so they went on.
Have thrown some parts on it though:
saddle and post, rear mech, bb and chainset, brakes and some housing that came with the steering combo (put new hoods on the Record levers as well).
Some pictures:

@baguette: Sure thing, it's a 56 for your information. Gave the wrong model year earlier in the thread.. It's from -92!

@Jon. Just holler at me.

Thank you all!

Would you consider splitting shifters and rear/front mechs?

@mattyc: I'll have a AB Special from -89 in really good nick for sale in a bit, if your not dead set on the AA.

Really eager to see this built up, will most definitely look spectacular!
