Just checking - did the Thumbies go coz it says they're still available by the pic? I'll have them if they are...

Are the 8spd shifters for double or triple? And are they compatible with the STX RC rear mech? Cheers...

Same as my frame only mine has a grey/silver fade and eyelets for rack and guards. Keep meaning to stick some pics up on here.

I've got a Cinelli 1A stem on it which looks pretty sleek and classic. I did replace the Cinelli 66 bars for the Soma Highway One though and haven't looked back - much more comfy in the drops.

How fat will that jersey make me look? As fat as I am, a little less fat, or fatter?

Nice though it undoubtedly is, I don't think you'll get what you're asking for on here.

Is that Muddy Fox a Courier? It was originally designed and put together by Steve who now runs A E Wilson's on Peckham road when he worked in the MF shop in town. Thoroughly recommend him as a mechanic...

Fit frame and very tasteful build.

Bit of cloning around rear of saddle and building behind it? Nice work though and good effort for a classified ad!

Beauty.

So the rug ended up surplus to requirements?

Dibs the seat post - PMing now...

This whole thread is why I gave up looking for a 70s frame on which to put a 10 speed Veloce group set and settled instead for an early 90s Champion Mondial with 130 spacing. But the hankering for a more 'classic' look persists so I continue to follow with interest. You should make a You Tube video of all this because there's not much out there on cold-setting, except the Sheldon site which could do with some real world visuals.

What's the bar in the middle of the photo? Is it flat like a priest or does it rise? Can't see any reference to it in the rest of the thread...

Look forward to seeing how this method turns out, seems a little less heart-in-mouth than stomping on a bit of 2x4. Good luck with it.

Not sure if it's an optical illusion caused by the jazzy rug but the left stay looks to have spread further than the right already. Considering doing something similar but don't trust myself with the Sheldon Brown 2x4 method. Anyone recommend a place that does this kind of thing well?

When you see this and compare it to some of the crap £775 will buy you. My bike, for example.

Got a touch of yellow/gold detailing in my otherwise dark grey fade through to silver Champion Mondial. I'll do some proper mental visualisation tomorrow! I suspect if I was to go the Alter route then the black/silver version might be a better match.

I love the ugliness of Alters but can never pluck up the courage to buy one in case it makes my bike look poo. While I ponder, where are you based and do prices include shipping/postage?

Tis very nice. Some less blurry pics might help. What Columbus is it?

I'd be interested in the frame, headset, BB, callipers and seat post if you decide to split...

I assume "Prijs" is price... but what does "N.o.t.k." mean?

Nice bike but daft money, no?

You clearly have too many bikes. Remedy that by giving me either the Mercian or the Nag. I'm not fussy.

DS is right, for 531 you need a 28.6 front mech clamp. After one myself to fit a new Veloce groupset to my Gazelle CM A frame.

Really nice big bikes btw. Are they 64 ctt or ctc? The Dutch manage to make big frames that actually look good. Mine's a 60 ctc but could probably do with being a couple of cms taller.

I'm quite a fan of that frame so think it looks pretty damn pretty. No idea how it would ride as a fixed and I do think it would look even better with gears.

Very nice bike and a bloody good price too. Wish I hadn't just bought a lesser bike for more money!
