Re:
Well, here's the finished article. Very pleased that the chosen colours seem to compliment each other and the wacky paint scheme matches the unusual dimensions of the frame.
The frame has some very neat internal cable routing that also gave me a few scares during the final stages....the rear brake inner would not go into the entry port (turned out to be a little paint/polish slug in the way) and the rear derailleur cable would not exit the frame (this ended up being a patient, 2 person effort)
The bike had a bike jumble selection of parts cobbled together on it, the majority of which were bin fodder.
I wanted to put some leftfield componentry on this and it was the Sachs hub brakes that guided me on this.......what vintage Sachs groupsets of worth were out there?
I was pleased to find that they made some quite tasty stuff BITD so I plumped for the 'NEOS' groupset.
I also managed to score a NOS Iscaselle giro d'italia saddle as fitted to the production bikes.
Detail shots of the strange features and a spec sheet to follow....
