Amazing bike. I've seen one in red/white in real life and it looked great. Came across one a while back in white with gold chrome instead of silver.

Great looking bike. For season that I can’t understand Campagnolo looks out of place. Which is weird because this is my favorite Record group.

Looks great. Cool to see vintage alu making a comeback.

You never know :)

I will keep you guys posted

Most beautiful headset ever Made IMHO. I actually have a tool for that.

I totally forgot about your messages on this bike. Sorry about that.

Test fit with the new rear wheel. I was surprised to find out the frame easily takes 4.6" tires.

I will be taking a Surly Big Dummy back, so I could probably fit the Alpini in one of the bags ;)

Up for sale is my Alpini Finch mini velo. Only available in Newhaven/Hove on September 9. Price: 125 GBP.

On September 9 I will be in Newhaven/Hove to pick up a bike I bought there. I am coming from Dieppe (France) and am planning to take my Alpini Finch mini velo along for the trip so I can travel to and from the ferry more easily. I would prefer to take only one bike back, so the Alpini is up for sale.

The bike is super fun to ride and handless surprisingly well. Overal quality of the frame (paint and welds) is really nice. The bike is in good shape and has seen only little use. There are some scuff marks on the paint where a a lock hung. Some washers and a couple of bolts are a bit rusty, but now I am really nitpicking. The rear wheel has a flip flop hub for fixed or single speed use. Retail price was about 400 GBP.

Took the bike with me on a trip to Switzerland. Did some enduro descents with a guide. Glad I didn’t know what was coming up front. It was scary as f but made it down safe and with a big smile.

That seat tube cluster is superb!

More cool stuff incoming. This has been on my wish list for as long as I can remember.

I doubt you will find a spare 600 freehub, but finding a 600 hub in good condition shouldn't be to difficult. It is 8-speed, but you can find anything between 8 to 10 speed on it and with the right lock ring also 11 speed.

I have. It's super easy. If I recall correctly you need a Shimano 600 freehub. I was under the impression it isn't a decent replacement, but actually the same thing Spinergy used.

Brilliant!

More pics

Forgot to mention I also bought a Mac Ride child seat.

The Muenzi has received a ton of updates since my last post. As such I have decided it really deserves it own thread.

I had a frame bag and panniers made by @Tijmen. The panniers will be fitted to an Old Man Mountain rack that I still need to fit.

The Jones bars are no more. They were great, but I just couldn't turn down a chance to buy a Groovy Cycles Love Handlebar locally.

I bought an extra pair of wheels for the bike, so I can easily change tires. They are 26" White Industries hubs laced to Surly Marge Lite rims. I also found a Paul fat bike rear hub which I plan to combine with a Son dynamo hub. Rims will probably be 29+ something.

Pedals are now Mavic Crossmax Ti.

Awesome paint!

Nice! A bit too small though I am afraid.

I didn't make an offer on the Merckx in the end. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't figure out if I would be able to fit it.

The mini velo is still in my bike shed. Haven't used it a lot though. I did convince me to buy a Bike Friday tandem. Haven't used that a lot either. I may have to many bike to ride and build right now...

I haven't done any bikepacking yet wit the new bag, but it came in handy on a trip with the little one (babypacking?).

Also convinced the misses she needed a mountainbike.

No backpacking just yet

Same vibe

For another project I bought these Middleburn RS1 cranks. They have a 130mm road spider fitted. Seeing as these are early 1990's cranks, I am guessing they were meant to be used with a double chainring setup. What I don't understand is why there isn't a raised edge for the big ring, like there is for the small one on the back. Or should the spider go on the other way around (this would suggest not)? Or could this be for a single chainring only?
