A UN55? Or maybe a UN300 if it's newer. About 300g. As already posted, if it's smooth, I'd leave it in and ride. 😜

First up I had to identify the extent of the issue. I marked up the visible crack, then sanded the paint off in this area. I use a microscope at work, so used it to check the crack and took this quick picture that shows how it wraps round the stay. When I had done the investigative...

Wow, what a dream shop/collection. Beautifully curated and presented.

I am a big fan of bonded lugged frames (see my Vitus 992 build here) and I have always wanted a Look bike. Their early 2000s top end frames approach the pinnacle of this method of frame building and I felt one would fit well in my collection. I put up a wanted ad up here and was super happy to...

Lovely. Well looked after and well fettled! Welcome to RB. 😁💪

Yes please. PMd

Super job with all the cleaning and polishing! So satisfying to see your before & after pictures. 😄

Thanks for the nice comments all. Yeah these wheels don't work with everything, but I'm glad you agree with my sensibilities - finding that elusive sense of balance and 'rightness' is something I really strive for with these builds. The skewers are a bit ott! 😄 Might replace with some shorter...

Bump! Still looking.

The Pinarello is stunning, woweee. I like all the little flashes of fluro yellow on the components that tie them to the frame. 👍

Great bikes everyone. 😁 Well done Nob, a beautiful replica. Non-fixie's Faggin is a stunner too.

What a great end result, elegant, understated but with so many excellent details and careful decisions. My kind of build! 👍👍👍 I would be out with the contact adhesive sticking those shoes back together! I'm amazed at how my current Sidis are lasting despite countless miles in all weathers.

Ksyriums are very durable in my experience. Depending on generation a good lightweight option too. Not the most aero though, so if I am riding at pace I much prefer a deeper section wheelset.

My old man dropped this off at the weekend! I got this bike secondhand from a lad in the village when I was about 16, rode it a lot until I was at uni in the mid 00s, then road cycling led me down the clean tarmac path and it hung in my dad's shed ever since. I'd knackered the crank so he put...

@Mike Muz - This one isn't particularly light, but that's mostly down to the wheels. I haven't weighed it but it's probably 8.5/9kg. The bare frame is pretty good so you could definitely get a light build out of one. It's a great ride, smooth and much stiffer than a 979. The previous owner of my...

Here's my Vitus 992, partly rebuilt this summer. This frame was the true beginning of my retro bike obsession and it's been fun to bring it closer to perfection this year. One of the great satisfactions of this hobby is the slow hunt for components and the little tweaks to details to refine a...

Great project. Love the attention to detail with the stenciling and logo spraying. Do you have a vinyl cutter to make them?

Awesome. If it was big enough I'd have it 😎😎

I saw it too, but too small for me as well. Such a great looking scheme!
