proper chain

small tip! I also have that VO Porteur bar and I'd recommend wrapping the bartape from the end to the middle! Otherwise it feels uncomfy when it's wrapped from middle to the end!
I still have mine the "wrong" direction but when they come off I'll do it like that!

During the driving you'll notice you slip forward and therefore against the wrapping direction!
just my 2 cents

nope.

this

dat bar tape

cutting them in half, respraying them ... and then use them as a chair...

So you need a 6-speed (or narrow 7) screw-on multiple freewheel and some kind (pretty much any kind) of rear dérailleur with a more or less matching lever. I'd stick to 1×6 for simplicity's sake.

yes but which period correct levers, derailleurs and crank? :)
those miche monolithic are hard to find and the suntour blaze look crap.

thanks

Is that a gear lever boss on the down tube? What kind, and width, is the rear hub?

Rear hub is 126mm, low flange, freewheel?
Thats the braze on for the cable on the down tube. levers were mountet on the stem i think.

bar is a "Cosmos"

what to do with my GFs bike?
previous owner removed original cranks, derailleurs and SSPed it.
Parts that are originally on it:
Miche competition? hubs
Miche headset
Modolo Corsa brakes + levers
Mavic 190 FB rims

I've found the exact same bike in a local bikeshop but with different components on. hard anodized Modolo brakes, Miche Monolithic crankset and Suntour Blaze shifters and derailleurs.

so what components should I put on it to make it multispeed again?

thanks

is a modern front lamp run on batteries made to look like an old dynamo style, come with crème bikes, not too sure whether you can get them in shops but if you have a word with crème distributer Hotlines Uk, they would sort you out

thanks!

^yea, definitely a front lamp

Front lamp?

What do you mean too tight? I can't see any problem you've mentioned, no different to drop handlebar that have an aggressive radius yet still work perfectly.

I've found the solution...you have to screw off the lever from the black body to fit the cable! This way the cable wont have a sharp bend!

Wing nuts might look rad but don't hold nearly as well as actual nuts, never mind a decent QR.
2 part epoxy works wonders, no ned to drill.
DIY chain guard could pretty easily be made from ge-fucked chain ring, bonus of low weight and your choice of cut outs.

ok I'll try the epoxy one...

Chain guard or just a guard ring? If the latter, what size ring are you using at the moment? I'm going to have a 45T Alfine guard ring going spare soon. Like this but black. SJSC do similar ones in 42t and 50t sizes for about £20

I'm riding 46T right now...That shimano Alfine is actually quite pretty but with 40 bucks expensive...don't like black either...thanks

hey guys
I need some advise on my Atala Porteur Conversion
all started out 3 years ago like this

I stripped the braze-ons and repainted it with Pantone 362c in my HHSB-time to ride it fixed and singlespeed for a couple of years...I got tired of this shit and decided to build a gentleman porteur...so it looks like this:

things to decide:

• original Wingnuts? Dont want my wheels get taken away but they look pretty rad
  
• how do I mount the headbadge I found on ebay.it for 10€? shall I drill holes and rivet it inside or just glue it on?
  
• IMPORTANT: how can I install my brakecables on these Tektro inverse levers without using force and destroy the route because the radius is too tight?
  
• I've redone the stickers in Illustrator. "Handmade in Italy" slogan still missing, but printing them would cost 35€...any good?
  
• is there any minimalistic chainguard that you can recommend? riding Shimano 600 Arabesque crankset
  
  

pretty tight clearances

thanks for your help...

what rack is that? The VeloOrange one has mountings on the side for a railing or light? That one doenst seem like to have those.

THX for the tip

Which brake levers are those? thanks

Here is my 650b porteur bike I built a while back.

thanks

Oohh - sexy frame!

Great build!

thanks

My 4-coloured Pinarello

full Shimano 600 Ultegra Tricolore gruppo except Seatpost and Stem, but it fits the colors of the bike.
Dunno if i shall replace it with a Dura Ace 7400 maybe? Campagnolo? Suggestions?
