yup. is ok. General do it all frame. Space for 37mm tires. 32mm with mudguards. double eyelets at front end for mudguards and racks, single at rear drop.

my cross set up for last autumn.

Done two helsinki winters with mine.

just to make a note that i work at pelago, but nevertheless a good frame set.

I guess the rest of the finns can add more photos if anyone interested. canna bother just now.

Pretty simple but clean planet x, and the top one is a mielec, forgot to take a better picture of it. both form tallinn

Are those the original forks? I really like it, other than the shape of the bars.

Nope. Forks were colnago stickered ones, but pretty sure they arent colnago either. Very similar to what numerius has on his flickr atm.

Yep, the bars dont look that good in the picture and they felt a bit long also. And the stems abit long too.

Rideable condition. All i need to try and do now is make it look nice.

Shit mobile photo.
Rode it this week. Feels a bit long, so ill have to check how much setback the post has. Kindof looks like it needs more silver parts. Ive got a silver integralter i could try but i really hate the cable routing and atleast the last time i had it on a bike, it was a horrible job to get the brake cable routings to work...
I dont think the blue fork looks that much off to the decal blue. I think ill also try a red slr with silver post.
Everything works fine except the cable routing around the headtube area is a mess. bad crossings with brake and gear cables.

sooo, i got the wheels sorted now. Took the front wheel to work and checked the rim width. -24mm.

Duranos also seem slimmer than what they are marked as, so i might try some other road tyres later on. Any suggestions for 25mm wide road tyres?
I might service the front hub also as i rode it winter time. Atleast outwards it doesnt look too good.

Theres also a problem.
Cable routing is for left rear, right front instead of the right, european way. Top tube routing for the rear goes in on the right side instead of left. The rear brake cable doesnt really seem to go nicely so i might need to make some special/additional loop of cabling or smthng to make it go nicely...

Im really looking forward to see this ready also. Apparently the last parts were shipped today so should be in finland by wednesday...

Wheels will be off my gt. 6600 hubs i got from an old friend when i lived in scotland and rims i got from my boss last autumn to test out. Outside profile is bit over 23 or 24mm wide so i wont be riding anything smaller than 25s. The gt is getting a period correct wheelset and one step closer to being ready. tricolor x cxp12.

Im actually building the caygill, cause i dont want to use the gt too much. Everything works perfect on it, but im afraid it wont much longer... -Old parts etc.

I think a feud between HHSB and FBNPNA would really work.

HHSB

FBNPNA

I think lando with shades could go pretty close

edit sry pic missing cape

thanks
-took me a while to figure out the letters...

its one of my bad weather bikes.

So did you get to ride it, as you had it built up?

Well it felt pretty much like the Langdale when i had it with gears. Only rode it a bit cause last winter was really wet and preferred to ride mostly this

Now im waiting for the cassette and chain to come from the post so that ill get to test it with drops.

update. so i managed to kindof accidentally collect quite a coherent -well i think coherent- group of 6600 and 6400 parts.

originally i was planning on more black bits, but now im thinking more silver.

the fork is a 1" steel unicrown with fairly similar metallic blue as the frame decals... Colnago stickers already removed

lfgss forum bike bought to finland. Saw it last weekend. was hot

:o want

Update:

Got the zipp with a cracked hope hub from pistoffski or smbdy over here a couple years ago just because I happened to have an 18h rolf hub from somewhere. Had to build it with new spokes, but everything is holding together so far.

going to update the pedals and cockpit tomorrow and see how long I'll last with the stripped flite...

wow. such custom. so bike. wow, very track.

The scott just got a durano for the rear wheel. Also going to ''downgrade'' the chainset, cause I need those cranks back. That scott is my little brothers and this one is mine:

The look is one of the Helsinki utopia ones. It gets ridden.

nice bikes, but not very nice seatposts. Everything else seems more or less thought through, but the posts...
