That’s very cool. Love old cyclocross frames. (We need an RB dedicated thread/forum.) Check out Gipiemme cranks; Mafac, Impella, Tektro, Modolo brakes. And lots of tubular tyre wormholes.
Lovely work @PhillB . Looks like you’ve done another cracking paint job. Colourways look great. Look forward to seeing more pics and progress when you get time and start sourcing components. A different kind of shopping list for this one!
Thanks . I think I am going to build it up with what I have for the moment while I look at/for old Cyclocross components, I'm quite keen to ride the frame .
When I got it, it had early 90's bits on it, Shimano 600 headset, Middleburn crank, XT brakes, so it appears to have been a frankenbike before too
It’s great that it lives on and gets used. Nice to see bikes with random components on because that’s what happens as components wear and become obsolete.
I’d save a few eBay searches for more period/original components and keep an eye on what pops up, but in the mean time enjoy what bikes are meant for which is riding! And at the moment the weather is crazy mild and dare I say it, dry(ish) even in Wales!!!
