That looks really nice ;-)

Sounds fun :D

Not as yet, maybe someday. I wonder how the 'keep it as original spec' crowd would take to it? :D

Re: Re: But its single speed so Im halfway there :D Let me know and I'll remove it

My Old Roadster :D Hi All It's been a while since I've been on here but to show I've not been idle here's my latest build. A 1950's Raleigh 'Superbe Roadster Model' frame (Notice the removable bolt on rear seat stays). Their super deluxe version Sported roller lever rod operated brakes and a...

Re: Re: Hi Jamie Yes it was altered for fitting of modern wheels purely cosmetic reasons. Also to drop the front end down slightly. I cut off the original front dropouts shortened the forks and tig welded them back on. At the rear I wanted to pull the back wheel closer to the seat tube. I...

Can I post this here I wonder or should it be in the 'other' single speed thread.... Hell I'll put in both and see what happens :D A 1950's Raleigh 'Superbe Roadster Model' frame (Notice the removable bolt on rear seat stays). Their super deluxe version Sported roller lever rod operated brakes...

Re: headset Hi How much would you take for the headset? I've an option to buy some 1" threadless forks but all the extras are mounting up £££ Thanks Craig

The Wtb Phoenix has really grown on me the past couple of days just lovely and a nice story too

That Land Shark is soooo nice those colours just epitomise the era. End of the day I guess it doesn't really matter who wins, everyone has put their heart and sole into what they do, built their bike stood back and said to themselves "damn that looks good, I bloody love that" and then thought...

Re: Re: Thats very nice, looks like you've got huge rake on your front forks must be bullet straight at speed :D

Ive added a build link at the bottom, I could do with updating some of the pics but it will give you can idea. Also a Youtube link includes rare footage of me falling off Hi I understand what your saying. I guess my YSL is more of a Hot Rod that true retro build. I love mashing things up...

Can we enter two bikes? Here's my other Trek Y33 used regular so not always in mint condition. Not much remains from the original bike only the front carbon frame. Rear URT is a rare polished Gary Fisher item, full XTR groupset, Bontrager XXX components, SID's. Weight is around 22lbs depending...

No problems, there's about 2" clearance from end of my shoe to front wheel. It's a medium frame overall the wheelbase is slightly shorter than my other Trek but not much. I think it just looks deceptively short as it's higher at over 300mm bb height (I'll have to measure it again I forget exact...

Yeh all of the alloy was coated and sealed so shouldn't get any corrosion. It gets soooo wet and muddy in winter over here so thought it best keep any moisture out completely. A lot of work involved though and then once sealed up no one will ever see it. Ah well:-)

Sorry didn't read the rules before posting :D

Yep the outers run through the frame, I built small carbon tubing into the frame. Essentially this seals the inner frame from water ingress, allows easy installation of replacement cables and gives a pretty much sealed cable for much of its run :D
