An Unusual Formula 1 - final pictures on page 3 and 4

Every bolt was replaced, every thread was retaped, every part was as NOSish and age correct as I possibly could. This was a joint Retrobike build so I had to do you proud and do it right!

Big thanks to every one on here who helped out, I’ve tried to make sure I mentioned everyone, but biggest thanks to @uno-speedo , @elite504 and @August Bicycles . Their expert assistance is so obvious in the final build quality! It’s another big tick as far as the bikes the teenage me wanted but could never afford. Teenage me says thank you

Brilliant, somehow looks futuristic even in 2024!

This is reminiscent of a magazine build where they try and build the ultimate bike, or when MBi? tried to create a fully British build. It's entirely Shimano and Suntour free except for them pedals! Lovely choice of components and parts.

Loving the hacks/mods by retro engineers and frame builders, they always love a challenge.

Lovely Cinelli too. Awesome paint on them beauties!

nicely done.

you have made a future (long time in the future) owner have headaches, that's got to be worth something. "Yes I know the bullseye cranks won't fit in a mavic BB, but I'm telling you that's what I have......".

I wish I had a Mavic BB with my Bulleye cranks back in the 90s. they didn't like Welsh mud one little bit!

Awesome thread and the finished article is definitely not an anti-climax! Top work Pete and crew
