Frankenbike ! on sunn revolt 1995

[bduc61]

Wanted to build a bike with an alfine with big wheels of 700 to be able to go to work in a suit :facepalm:

this is the result

I know the canti brakes initial axes are not looking nice but they can't be unscrewed
I had to, tweak the cable passage, as front derailleur passage was not on downtube and for the alfine, you really need the cable to com along the wheelbase
So I installed a small wheel to redirect the cable from the seattube

Frame : sunn revolt Fuji SL tubing 1995
Fork : threaded unknown chromed one from same period MTB in 1 inch
gears : Alfine 8V
Crankset : Specialité Vega with bash and 39 stronlight chainring
Brakes : Mafac Racer 1970's usual on the french high quality randonneuses - surprisingly efficient but noisy
Brake levers : Suntour XC Expert
Rims : Mavic Open Pro
Saddle : Italia Max
Bluemels light fenders

Will probably build a dynamo hub front wheel next for decent lightning :idea:
and may change the bar for better cruising position
pretty happy with the result :mrgreen:
it was a funny challenge to be able to build it with most parts lying around in the garage

11.7 kilos with pedals

Interesting build, bet it's nippy. You certainly won't look out of place riding that with a suit on!
