Nice job done... :-)

I presume you meen this one: http://vintagekogamiyata.com/ I happen to know the guy which is behind this site. We live in the same city, and a few years ago we met. I handed him over some old Koga flyers and catalogs from the '70's and '80's as well as from other brands. The rims of this...

before restore after Yes (both) Simplex mechs has been restored. As evething else. Saddle and (Benotto-like) bar tape is new. Only the balls which appears to be dices and the grease (like dried peanut butter) has been renewed, ofcourse... my caballero (already earlier seen in this theater...

frame builded 1980. Found and restored. Lovely job been done. Before After More pictures wanted?

Re: Re: Be patiened. It'll take some time. Bizzy with other neccesary projects in the house. For example (off topic):

Frame bought for 10 euro... And build into a fixed gear bike. Dissambled, cleaned and greased. With use of parts which I had in store. Raleigh Team Panasonic team replica frame Aerospace contour (1984)

Saved from more "swimming"... 8) Next step in the project, cleaning and respraying the frame. Parts already has been dissambled, greased and polished.

Super:-) i saw it somewhere else shortly:-)

My Caballero "fixed gear" semi track bike. 50 x 18.

The green one is a "compact" version. A 5 speed body, and with the green spacers and special other cogs it is made into a 6 gear. The number 3 is indeed a threaded one. And probably a 6 speed body can be changed into a 7 speed.

I agree with you where it concerns conventional bar tape (unwrapping). But with Benotto which is very thin and can be streched during mounting this is not an issue. That is what experienced.

My (changed) caballero replica #2 bike after put some gears on the earlier single speed version. In addition to the earlier sent caballero #1 last year. Just to add to the beautifull bikes already sent in.

A common problem with the ALAN. As long as they live. In the earlier years there was a life time garantee. In those days a frame of mine did travel to Italia two times. And did came back after a long time. In Italia live goes less fast.... :-)

Some changes to the Caballero #2 team bike, no single speed anymore but a five-speed derailleur. -0-0-0- So earlier Today I finished the second replica Caballero team bike. This one is a single speed. Now there a two of us. The team hadn't a brand of cycles as a sponsor and the bikes were...

Indeed, a dubble (strong) set of toeclips. And mounted with bolts on each side of the pedals. To keep room under the pedal for the shoe plates. Which were sometimes mounted with some spikes or football studs for extra grips. Those were the days.... :-)

Nice "crosser".... Chapeau.... :-)

Ideale 70 on my 1970 replcia caballero teambike. Ones you handle with care each month with a good leather cream to be dried in the sun it keeps fit.

I happens to have some Benotto lookalike in blue, red en green, but pity, no pink however...

I think it was also pink. When they ride Peugeot. In the Lemond (bike) period maybe white.

Which was indeed mounted at that time on the team bikes... :)
