Re: ID: 2 kg mid 90s steel frame - with TB P2 but not Kona? Hi, I'm Tom, AKA picnicker74. First of all: Funny, that this old frame draws so much interest. Then: My frame is not a repaint. I'm sure, as there are others in the same paint out there. Last but no least: Biria produced a significant...

For me this is one of the most beautyful fullies I've ever seen. I don't mind the red bar (and I also can overlook the strange stem :D ). All parts look great on that shiny slim frame. The only thing I would change is the seatpost, as one would expect a straight one on this bike...

Thanks a lot from my side also. I just recently fell in love with these and so I do not know them as good as my old one yet.

Now that's the important aspect. What does work in the (or some) attempted way, is not crap (this is true for Klein, GT and some other expensive stuff). But all these badly designed bikes (as the Bikes from Italy in the 90ies with stupid geometries, stupid frame designs (remember the...

This afternoon I had no access to the pictures of my HotChili with the Beasty Bones in perfectly matching colours. You identified them correctly, of course BTW. Here's a proper picture of bike with cranks:

So frankly speaking: I still hope to receive bolts together with the crankset. And thanks a lot for the information about shimanos's tool!

Very old thread, I know.

Sorry, no answer for today. But I am also interested in any information about the tech of this crankset. Is there a tool anywehere still available? Crank bolts anywhere?

Do you think, this bike is to young for this section of retrobike?

Maybe som (more) pics, especially of the mech hanger? Fork included? Top tube length? Some more information really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

It's partly British and partly Italian, so what do you expect?

Re: 1997 --> close match: Spped Project Lite with Pace RC quote instead of edit

Special Thanks to Danaroby and Mr. Wheelnut for the main components of this build... Frame ist approx 1997 Columbus Spirit fillet brazed by "Speed", an Italian company similar to Scapin in the 90ies. Today they only sell carbon frames... Frame weight however is almost exactly 1700g. Fork...

I bought an incredibly nice Speed Project Lite frame via ebay from danaroby :wink: . Shipping was a bit of a mess, but that was not his fault. He managed to get everything sorted out and helped me with some further questions after transaction. Really great seller! Tom

I seriously need a Syncros 1 1/8" top Cap. Nobody will send one. So I politely ask for the Syncros stem. Tom

Everything said: I am looking for a Shimano XTR front mech 28.6mm Top Pull. M900 series. Thanks for your offer (PM preferred) Good used condition. Tom

Well, it's not a "homemade" frame. It's the result of a frambuilding class almost three years ago. But anyways, every braze and every bit of filing was done by myself. Tom

David. Thanks for your kind reply. The intention of this geometry was to have a ride similar to common Track bikes, but with a rather deep bottom bracket. So it is stable when running freehanded straight on - but it turns into every corner as soon as I think about. This is, what it really...

Yes, Wheelbase is really narrow :lol:
