Re:

well done Arie, they take some patience and hours of hunting down parts but very worth it in the end.

 

[Rahbari]

Congratulations, Arie!

Remember our near deal a few years ago? A good thing, we did not do it. Now you have your lovely ultra-light and I have two original paint Adroits. And the 19" frame is with Vinevo now.

Nice one Arie!!!! Did you ride this one on your Dorst ride...

Love to see this one in real life sometimes.

Cheers
Martin

good job Arie!
Was it a birthday present to yourself?

 

[tigern]

Thanks thanks thanks!!!

@Rahbari, yip, would have been a nice swap ;-), but like this it's ok as well, everybody happy!

@Martin, no no, i had the intention of riding this bike when it came from the paintshop, but now with all these hard to find parts on it, i rather grab another bike!

@Obi: a "very long waited for" birthday present! Wanna go for a ride/chat soon?

Only thing i have to do at the bike is changing the front hub for this one:

Done!
