For as long as I've been here it hasn't been an issue. There are some famous commercial usages of Colonial era references, such as Cafe Batavia etc. I used to be involved in the "Onthel" scene here: fanatics for Dutch city bikes, colonial and independence struggle nostalgia and historical...

And here it is 📯 I painted the frame pearl green with pearl pink and white panels. "BATAVIA" script in Jackson font. Custom stopper plates are used to fit the BL shifters. Suntour BL FD and RD. Suntour grease guard hubs. 7 speed on 126mm. Pacenti Pari-Moto on Araya rims. Sugino PX cranks with...

@Rod_Saetan @non-fixie Thank you very much for your replies 🙏🏼

I'm stumped. I bought this frame here in Indonesia a few years ago. It came without original paint, but there is some red showing in the head tube and droupout stamping. The biggest clue, the downtube shifter bosses, was also a bit of a headache to figure out. Notice the orientation of the...

Today is a very sad day at our house. I buried my partner in crime of 15 years.

Totally different bikes. Compare the cabling details.

WTAF? 🤔 Darren. Darren. Think about it again, Darren...THEN TELL ME IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT DENT IN BILLY'S FOREHEAD! 🤣

The shifter is homemade with a Sunrace (Microshift) 9 speed shifter grafted on to a Tektro RL520 lever. I Dremeled a hole for the shifter post into the lever blade, shaped the cable stop plate accordingly and fit everything together with JB weld before shaping and airbrushing it. The rims are...

I finished this up today. Custom rear hub gives 7/9 speed on 112mm OLD. I've been wanting to try building this shifter for awhile now. The rear derailleur is Shimano 600 Tricolour, stripped and polished with some Ultimate Machine Works Ti bits. I still need to build a few bits to keep it...

Itchy fingers. Rebuilt my Raysport again. Sugino PX triple, White Industries Ti bottom bracket and long cage on the Nuovo Record rear derailleur. I had a hard time getting the shifting working on the front until I ditched the spiral stainless cable housing for more modern stuff. The wheels use...

Because of the chainstay angle on minivelos, it is required to place the FD back and rotate it down so that the front shifting works. Otherwise the chain will drag on the bottom of the cage and the cage countours will be out of place relative to the chain position. I tried a "regular" position...

Pay attention to this FD adapter. Very important if you start messing with minivelos...

Also possibly Alpina. They also used an upper case A.

Ah yes...22h front 🥴

The Neutrons look to be 20/24h. That's easy enough, perhaps a Kinlin XR22T or XR26T up front and XR22RT or XR26RT (offset) out back. Find a rim that matches the ERD of the Neutrons to reuse the spokes if they are still good. The Shamals are harder. They need that specific rim owing to the...
