Looks greatNot sure I've ever posted mine, but here it is.
Cinelli The Next Machine, mix of Campagnolo Centaur/Record parts and a rather odd 1" 1/4 quill stem. Plus press-fit BB.

Re:
Just joined this forum almost entirely for e-stay information, here's mine (and me with it) a 1990 Nishiki Ariel. Love the first few years of steel Nishiki's, the way the stays attach to the frame makes for an insane amount of tire clearance. I run mine in mountain/off road touring mode with a 650b x 2.4 tire in the rear and its still got a little room. I put a modern fork on the front so I could clear 650b x 2.8. When I had it set up with 26" wheels 2.8 WTB Rangers would fit no problem when mounted on Rhyno Lites. The dirt drops are temporary, while I figure out who can make me a very wide version of Nitto's moustache bar. Ran some older TI Jones bars for awhile but the angle made my hands go numb unfortunately..
Some cool build details I'm proud of.
-Bullseye hub with pink ano flanges on a purple body
-7sp Sach's freewheel that spins like butter
-Raceface Turbine converted to a wide 46/22 double
-Deore XT derailleurs, with the front running to a vintage Simplex clamp on downtube shifter mounted to the seattube.
-Brooks B72 that I dyed black myself
-TI Nitrade Gold chain as a seatleash
-NOS Pink Dia Compe brake hoods on drilled Dia Compe brakes
-Made those roll top frame bags myself, they tie on using the same paracord and the mini triangle is a roll top as well
-Classic Suntour bar end shifter

Kuba, I just bought an Ariel and was looking at converting the wheels to 650b. What fork did you find for the 1 inch steer tube?Re:
