    This is a build I did over xmas. Bought a Surly LHT frame and kitted it out with some new and some old components. I gave it a Deore 10 speed trekking groupset (T610), loving the smooth shifts.

    The LHT frame has some really nice touches like the pump peg (have a Topeak frame pump for it), the spare spoke holder and braze-ons for three bottle cages. Steerer fork is uncut for now but I kind of like it so may leave it that way. Took off the Surly decals for aesthetic and anti-theft reasons.

    Very nice! 😀

    Know the owner of the company (Podia) that worked in collaboration on the build. Their matching jerseys and colour schemes complete the look!

    can that chainstay be as strong as a straight one?

    One would hope so considering the other side is straight. You might end up with rear wheel steering after a while :D

    This is to achieve extra tyre clearance I presume, if engineered right it will be as strong as the other side.

    Chainstay is wrecking my head, so would those wheels when moving with that colour scheme.

    Lovely bike @letape, but I have to be honest...black saddle, white bar tape, green tyres? (I'm just jealous really! )

    Cheers TheBlaaMan & 07Lapierre - when it comes to bikes I don't consider white or black as "colours". I had the green tyres in the shed and fitted them as they didn't suit any other bike I had and thought they'd give the bike a lift!

    Why so high? Doesn't look long enough for an XL frame size.... Everything clicks for me bar the proportions. And the chain.

    They do custom sizes, so maybe its a custom size

    Two successive bikes on the one page with naked large chainrings.

    Standards are seriously slipping 😨

    I did something similar to a late 80s Peugeot 653.
    There are a few photos of it in the above link.
    I used the same group set as you. I love mine, but yours is prettier.

    Sweet. Lovely job in 653 tubing. Was that the one you upgraded to Athena ?

    Pleased with veloce tbh. Overall it turned out heavier than expected, feels about 9 kg or just under.

    I bought the bike here on Boards a couple of years ago. I ditched everything except frame. I was of two minds, whether to go with modern or period group set. When framebuilder recommended a carbon fork, I decided to go modern.
    I'm delighted I did. The forks make a big difference in weight and ride.
    I went with Veloce because of cost and I wanted a "silver" look, which I thought suited the bike.
