Good Afternoon On one of my projects bad luck happened due a poorly machined headset (a chris king no thread headset) , when by my bike tech wanted to install it didn't go smoothly as opposed to the other headsets (two campagnolo record threaded headsets , one stronglight jdx94 threaded headset)...

Good Afternoon Everyone The 30th November was my 45th birthday so I decided to treat myself with a nice frame even though I promised not buy anymore frames, and found one that I was eying two weeks ago at a killer price. The frame is the rare De Rosa Merak in Dedacciai SC6110 A Aluminium. A much...

This frame was given as a present to my bike tech because I have too many frames and since it was craked because of a lousy chris king headset in the head tube and went to repair , he will make of it his own build since he owns plenty of interesting bikes.

Well the project has been finished , the rock shox sid will go to the Gary Fisher, instead of that I went with a rock shox tk silver solo air. On this first gen full suspended Fuel 100, anything larger 26*2.00 wouldn't fit. Components that were used were XT 780T for pedals, chain, cassette...

Buying cranksets for my Trek wasn't easy. I have XT cranksets on 5 of my mountain bikes, XT FC T780 cranksets on 3 and XT FC M770 cranksets on 2, FSA cranksets on my Trek 6700 SLR, and a Race Face XC crankset on my Gary Fisher Hoo Koo Ekoo project. The XT FC M780 cranksets were nowhere to be...

The choice of brakes was complicated because the XT 780T vbrakes have not been in production for a few years. I wasn't a fan of shimano v brakes with deformable parallelograms because they're temperamental in bad weather and difficult to adjust. I remembered that specialized had equipped some of...

Those wheels are reserved for another project and I chose a pairof Mavic Crossmax SL SSC

Hello In march, I was thinking about buying a road bike frame but I already have too many road bike projects. I've never owned a full-suspension bike, but I've had the opportunity to ride a few. My choice was a Trek Fuel 100 frame that I'd already had the chance to try out at the time, and which...

My first road bike project is almost finished, it is at my local bike shop I will get it back in september. I will buy a pair of new old stock Look PP396, have it fitted correctly and then ride it. Total weight 9.3kilos Frame made of Dedacciai DR Zero Uno steel

Thanks, it is one of my favorite roadies . It is very comfy, robust and offers great performance . I have it since 1996.

Finally my beloved Peugeot Prestige got its upgrades withdura ace 7400-7700-7800 bits, the reynolds 708 classic is very pleasant to ride

Finally after years, it was time to give my giant tourer hybrid bike better wheels , better and hubs and a whole transmission upgrade. I chose mavic A719 rims which are some of the best rims for gravel bikes, some xt 780t hubs that I had in spare, xt 780t and xt 780m transmission plus xt 8000...

I have it assembled by local bike tech that has been assembling and repairing my bikes for many years, so no worries.I generally ride 20-21 frames, I rarely ride with a backpack. I am 1m80 and 86 kilos the bike is a pleasure to ride. I would be more afraid to ride a columbus genius framed MTB...

It was accidental since most of the other frames in big size or medium size I saw were either in bad shape (rusty and dented) or broken , I could never ride a 14,15,16 inch MTB frame so the 17 inch frame was chosen as an acceptable standard minimal standard. I also figured out how to adapt it...
