Hello ! Ooooh yes ! I have a 96 Lava Dome (also a little too little for me) and the first thing I noticed when I used it : very reactive ! Even more than my 2006 Trek 4500 which is in aluminium. Those frames are very nice. I love the brakes too. Difficult to adjust but once it's done, it...

Hello, That's also my preferred color for this bike ! 😍 It almost seems like it was alive ! :)

Hello, The latest of the singlespeeds I built : An Heavy Tools HT-Laser (1993 or 1994) : The associated thread : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/chrome-and-purple-austrian-vintage-steel-bike-what-could-it-be.482875/ :) W.

Hello, I've started a thread about Heavy Tools bikes : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/show-us-your-heavy-tools.483101/ :) W.

Hello, I haven't seen yet a topic about these austrian bikes by reading the summary topic, recensing all the "Show us your..." threads. As I have recently built one, I tought it was a good idea to create one (not much of this brand on the forum as I could see so far but perhaps this thread will...

Hello ! I've been busy since the end of june as I was working (that's a big word, more of tinkering with a lot of pleasure) on a frame I've found almost by accident on a well-known auctions site. :) The last bike I "made" was last year, my Raymond Clerc singlespeed, it's fabulous, I love it...

OMG !!! It's like an overdose of candies full of sugar to me ! Medieval water torture but with Redbull instead ! It litterally makes me incomfortable in my guts ! The green of the (false) grass doesn't help either ! The biggest question is : is there really someone who has bought this...

Hello, It seems they are Schwalbe Crazy Bob. :) Nice, indeed ! :) W.

Hey ! Welcome ! :) Nice bike ! The dark colors everywhere give the impression of a shadow, I truely love it. One day, I'll have a Klein, but it must absolutely have a very good original paint and I suppose I must have a goodbank account too ! :D Those paints were so terrific that if it's not...

Hello, Very nice bike ! I saw that the stem was "only" 130 mm. It seems longer, and it turns out that it looks very good. And the colors are lovely and go well together ! I'm not a sucker, color-speaking, for this kind of tires usually, but again, it's nice on this very bike (I saw a pic where...

Hello racecarjohnny, Thank you for your quick answer, I'm looking at the seller's page right now. :) W.

Hello, I would like to know, concerning the saddle. Is that a modded one or an official model ? I mean, those colors don't seem to be seen very often. If it's an official model, is there a reference ? Would that be possible, also, to know the weight of it and the metal used for its frame ...

Hello, That's truly a wonderful bike ! 😍 Must cost a liver, or more probably two ! 🙈 I also have a set of Panaracers on my Kona (the Smoke at the rear and an Dart on the front). Perhaps I'm saying some bullsh*t (it wouldn't be the 1st time :p) but on the pics, it seems that the two tires of...

Hello, I was reading the fabulous thread of Jam_SWorks about his Peugeot collection : https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/my-peugeot-collection-one-bike-at-a-time.422101/ I didn't want to interfere in his thread, so I'm posting a new one to ask for some informations. :) Jam_SWorks' collection...

Wooow, visually stunning ! Like the others, I love the colors you chose ! Serious bike with just what's needed for the fun ! :) Ooooh, I just saw that the stem and the bottle holder, some bits of the saddle and the brake levers, are the same color as the letters of the logo on the frame. Genius...

Hello, Time to show the last singlespeed I built ! I wanted something light to ride on the road. I wanted an aluminium frame and I found a very interesting and probably unique one, a Raymond Clerc. It's a frame buillder from the town where I live (Lyon, in France). I think it's an hand made one...

Hello ! I've received the decals ! \o/ Between others, I have two vertical ones. What do you think ? Should I put them on the seatstays or on the fork ? :) W.

24pouces, you read in my mind ! I also tought of the Rancho when I saw the Vélover. I've always loved this car. My grandparents had a Talbot 1100 (the coupe version), which is the city version of the Rancho if I may say so : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simca_1100 😍 W.
