Love the vision and determination of this build.
It's a project after my own heart. Seeing the rarity through the description and pursuing the vision to create an absolute gem.

Gets my vote all day long.

*Edit* I scanned that Roberts Phantom article somewhere - it could be the one with the 'new' Campagnolo group set?

Here's the article... buried in this Campagnolo builds thread.

So here it is. No doubt it will evolve and parts will change. I’ve yet to ride it properly, it needs a good shakedown. But 4.5 years after getting all excited after first seeing it, I can finally give it some use. I’m super happy with it.

Very nice. What is the fork?

Zinn 753 that has had the welds finished. It took Winston Vaz quite a while to make them look good.

Just awesome Mark!

That looks awesum, and the fork finishes it....

Wow, that has turned out lovely, superb colour combo (I love green bikes). Somehow even the snowflake front wheel doesn´t bother me (too much).

I'm waiting to give it a vote in the next bike of the month compo.

These are the kinds of builds and stories are what make this site so special. Absolutely top-draw. Kudos

Just entered it in to this months Bike Of The Month (February 2024 if you’re reading this in the future). UK special so seemed appropriate. Please feel free to vote for it if you like!

That's a great story - well jealous, especially given my current broken pike situation. Max frames just look beautiful to me..
