If you’ve got the QR adapters for both front and rear then I’m very interested!

Will take the Shimanos please!

2nd dibs if lazy super hero isn’t keen!

Provided they are 29, I would super interested in the wtb/hope wheelset?

It’s a thing of real beauty (and a steal- not sure how it hasn’t gone!) but I’m hankering for something with 29” wheels

Very interested in this- what year is the frame?

Okay super, if you wouldn’t mind I’m definitely interested

Awesome! I couldn’t tell from the pictures- does it include a derailleur hangar?

Hi Andy, I’m very interested in the frame only option if still available?

I don’t suppose the Kona is still hanging around?

Would you consider selling the cranks separately?

Day 3 with the Day One and am absolutely overjoyed with it- whoever buys the Cannondale will find themselves with a meticulously well looked after steed! Thanks again Leo

Is the Genesis still around? If so, dibs!

3rd dibs if the others fall through please!

Is this still about?

The photos work, she's a beaut! GLWS

Looking for a dynamo hub for a project, preferably 36 hole with no disc mounts. Output (which I think is standard any ways) of around 6v 3w. Thanks!

Apologies, checked with friend at he's no longer interested.

potential dibs on the wheelset

eugh, square pictures!

I've documented the various stages of this build for quite some time, but it never occurred to me to pop it on-line.

Last Summer I was rustling around the grandparents wood shed when I stumbled upon an old Bianchi Superleggera lying amidst the timber.
Upon further inspection the thing was in a pretty poor state, with allot of rust damage. Some hooligan had already taken it upon themselves to file off some of the cable guides, and had started work on one of the downtube braze ons.

The frame looked great, being made of Columbus Formula one tubing (which as far as I'm aware is a mix of different tubes that they offer). After stripping the frame down there was a fair bit of rust pitting, but nothing too serious.

I quickly cleaned up the components, the brakes and front and rear mech being in very poor shape. I sourced a set of Miche Primato hubs laced to mavics for a bargain from gav for the build, and cobbled everything together to get some basic idea of how it would look.

Not too keen on the damaged anodised finish, I removed it using some drain cleaner, pretty scary stuff!

To allow the frame to survive the incredibly humid and salty Bermuda climate, I did a quick rattle can spray job (which stayed for far too long!)

After removing the small ring, the bike rode amazingly. Definitely my favorite bike to ride. However, after long rides I'd often get pretty bad pain in my neck, as the bike is to small for me (54cm frame and I'm just over 5'11)

Luckily, I just picked up a longer stem, some new levers and a more modern drop road bar

And as I'm now home for the holidays took it upon myself to give the bike a two day makeover.

The paintjob was in pretty poor shape, and the components were looking worse for wear. A quick rub with some brasso and fine steel wool and they were looking shiny once again

Using a wire brush attachment, I stripped the frame and forks down.

Then twas primer time

I've always loved those Klein two tone fades, and tried to do something similiar with the frame. (bit of an overkill on the orange)

Had to cut down the steerer to fit the new spangly headset

and put it all together!

Bit annoyed with the paint finish, I think I applied the clear coat too soon, which caused what was glossy paint to crack and orange peel slightly.

Really chuffed with how it came out though. Just took it out for a quick 20 miler and the bike is a joy to ride, couldn't stop smiling! The extra length and bar shape has made all the difference.

dibs for a friend

Can't believe this hasn't sold! such a bargain and so rad... glws

Well packaged, quickly received and a bargain! Thanks tilover!

Sorry to hear that, hope it wasn't too grave.
