No snobbery, it's like saying someone's a snob because they prefer a Renoir over the clip art image in the parish newsletter.

Tbh, half the bikes in this thread fall into that category. We should ban readers' wives.

Yep, it's strange one alright. Spend 10 grand on a light weight frame, fork, wheels electronic groupset, power meter, Asymmetrical chainrings designed to milk every last watt of energy out of the bike and then go and blow all of your hard won advantage with an upright seating position? Fair enough if it's an old guy with a bad back who still wants to compete but if not, then just buy A Carerra TDF from Halfords and join a yoga group.... Bam, you've just saved yourself €9000.

This is my contribution. Built it up this year. Doing my first full season of racing with it in 2014. My apologies if there isn't a picture, first time posting a pic on boards, I'll get it right eventually.:D

%255BUNSET%255D

631 frame, wheels from my old pompino, nitto bars and stem, velo orange mudguards

2.
th?id=H.4679883457496989&pid=15.1

bought for the first born who made an appearance last week!

i think there may be compatability issues with the bob!

The mix of red and orange frustrates me. They should have made the detailing all the same colour.

Also the front brake cable being that taut annoys me too. Needs more slack.

It's the minor details that make a bike really great.

Dang.

lizzylad84 · 13-10-2013 12:16AM

Not sure if there uploaded properly, here's my humble steed, first pix is the day after I bought it hom, pick 2 is as it stands today, post ride, pre wash

Dermot Illogical · 13-10-2013 09:12PM

My latest project.
I have acquired a mid 90s Tommasini Tecno which is mechanically sound but could do with some attention to paintwork.
Campag Chorus & Mirage mix. Aksium race are on it (front temp swapped out for pic below) and I've put my own saddle and pedals on. It's a very comfy bike.
I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I may investigate restoration, or possibly use it as a runaround/winter hack. It would need rechroming, which I can't see being cheap.

AstraMonti · 13-10-2013 09:52PM

Awesome frame!

Had a similar dilemma last year with a prestige frameset..
In the end u sold it as the cost of doing it up properly and knowing that I could never have the paintwork truly replicated didn't sit well with me..
They must have been the bomb when bought new!!!

What handlebars and stem do you have on it?!

ITM Wingshape bars with Evolve XC Raceface stem. They were on it when I got it. I think they look out of place.

Where does one acquire frames of such loveliness?

I was fortunate enough that my cousin remembered I like steel bikes when he decided to make room for whatever carbon monstrosity he's got his eye on. He offered and I could only say yes.

Kannon · 14-10-2013 10:06PM

That's one of my fav bikes on this thread.

So is mine. What a class

The only criticism is about the frame size, just too large for me

^^^^ Not sure this qualifies as an 'image' of beauty though.
