thanks for the input. sounds quite logic XD

well as you can guess the law is quite strict about what counts as racebike as well XD.
(max 12kg, race bars, min 630mm rim diameter, max 23mm rims)

Ah Thanks!

thats what I thought...those reflectors are no option XD

"Here" is Austria, especially in Vienna.
There are some hotspots where the police enforce "bike stops" and check cyclics for their gear.
If only 1 thing is missing, they probably gonna let you go without paying (depends on your attitude towards them). Otherwise you have to pay (20-30€) per missing piece!
Citybikes require: lights, bell, reflectors front/back/pedals and wheels

are there any tanwall tyres with reflective strip?
Law here requires reflective elements on wheels (either tyres or fugly spoke reflectors)

dont know if I should sell it...the local Velodrome in Vienna closed down / got demolished.
Since then the bike is hanging on the wall. I'm afraid that I will only get peanuts for this.

frame: Justice Tech Optimum, 58cm, titanium framset (company doesn't exist anymore?)
fork: Justice Tapered Carbon Fork UD/3K
headset: Chris King InSet7
stem and handlebars: Deda Pista
BB: Campagnolo Record Pista
crank: Campagnolo Record Pista
wheels: Campagnolo Pista
tyres: Tufo S3 Pro Track

am i right that the pannier mounts are not drilled trough...so you cant f.e. mount the Salsa Down Under Rack
The Tubus Tara should work right?

Great thanks for the info.

Okay thanks...what about normal front racks? They "only" Need eyelids and a Front brake drilling.

Oops just saw that they offer an Adapter from 15mm to 12mm axles...
Are there some other forks as well?!

Thanks...is there one for 12mm instead of 15mm axles as well or should i change the front wheelset?

Hey there

Im searching for road/endurance forks that have flat discbrake mounts, 12mm Thru axle and mounts for a lowrider rack.
I think I'm asking too much for?

Cheers

I once did a SSP conversion with original cranks...had to go with a 52T chainring on the front because that was the only chainring with the proper BCD...looked crap.

I then changed the BB for proper chainline, cranks and 46/16T ratio which is IMO perfect for city use.

The original bike had a decal head badge not a metal badge, so no holes available. I'll go with cut off rivets and tape

I was thinking about reapplying the decals in white.

Which decal material should I take? Do I need to clear coat it? The Frame has a lot of scratches already since its my commuter, hence I dont think thats a good idea.

I have read that headbadge mount is best with double sided tape and fake rivets for the looks?

Progress
fitted VO rear reflector, Shimano Marathon Reflective Tires, VO bell and reflective Pedals (not Lyotards unfortunately)

Vintage Cateye front reflector is on its way which I will modify so it fits onto the stem handlebar mount.

I could offer you the Hibbel shoe in size 10 UK in black if you want. Perfect for eroica races and only 5 times used.

the first gen 6400 only had uniglide. The later ones had both.

Thanks for looking

Hey guys

Need a Shimano Acera, STX-RC 7spd freehub body, so I can convert my old Shimano 600 Ultegra, FH-6400 hub from Uniglide to Hyperglide. Cant seem to track any down in Europe like these STX-RC 7spd and the shipping prices from US are insane.

Thanks for any help

Damn feel temped now, but 55cm is just way too small for me.

If you have any recommendations for the drivetrain and cranks for my
GFs bike...tell me :)

Hey There

Brief history of my Atala bike:
I got this bike from a friend for free. It was a low range 27inch racing bike and stripped it down, went through my kiddie HHSB fixie and SSP times and luckily came to my senses and decided a few years ago to build this frame up as a gentlemans porteur. Since then I’m living happily ever after, however I might wanna change a few things or need some advice:

1-MAKING IT ROAD LEGAL

Front and rear reflectors:
The rear reflector is no problem, since VeloOrange Grand Cru reflector will look nice on the Gilles Berthoud stainless steel fenders. The front reflector is a bit more callenging to integrate into the front brake cable hanger like the example below. I’m thinking about welding a metal part onto mine and chrome plating it to fit a nice round clear reflector, or maybe metal-printing it somewhere since I cant find cable hangers with addidtional atatchment for a front reflector with an adjustable front brake screw.

Reflective Pedals:
Searching for vintage Lyotard 136Rs or similar since modern reflector pedals are fugly.

Reflective wheels:
Adding Schwalbe Marathon 32-630 with reflective sides will solve this problem.

Bell:
This one bugs me a little bit because I dont like adding anything to the bars or stem that works worse than shouting at pedestrians who are jumping in front of you after my first bell-ring.

2-ADDING PERMANENT LIGHT

Dyno hub:
SON dyno-front hub

Rear light:
Lightskin Seatpost light ist he perfect solution for that if it can be powered by a dyno-hub. I have asked the seller if the seatpost that is intended for electric bikes has a small capacitator included so the light stays on at a traffic light. However no answer yet.

Front light:
Any ideas about a convenient and decent looking solution?
Lighskin handlebars are fugly and I like my Porteur bars. On some porteur racks I have seen a light mounted onto it, but then you have to fiddle the cable around the rack tubing which always looks odd.
Something like this would be interesting with internal wiring

3-HEADBADGE
Yes or No?

4-FRAME
Somewhere on the forums I have read about Porteur frames and about the stiffnes they provide with the rack. On this old „racing bike“ with, I guess low quality steel tubing, the fork and handlebar look in differend directions if I wiggle the handlebar around. Any advice on a vintage frame with eyelids that would be stiff enough or a modern frame set that would handle the load of a rack well?

Thanks for every input and advice

lovely frame!

I bought my GF the same colored frame, can't finy an Comlumbus SL stickers tough.
You guys think its the same build-year?

Unfortunately the pre-owner removed the Chainring, cogs and shifters and HHSB-it!
Any Ideas which parts I should slap on there to have gears again?

Any Idea about this Pinarello frame? Montello? Asolo? Year?
Haven't seen any other frame with that paint scheme. Frame is fully undercromed and was equipped with Shimano 600 groupset.

I have a cable hanger similar to the Dia-Compe and thought about attaching the reflector there but it's not the ideal solution. However I cant find such brackets as posted in my first picture.
