this is great! these new pics from the mag show the "dark rims" are also Ritchey.

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build
Thanks a huge amount Shawn! If you wish to donate that mag, just PM me
Now I know what rims to look for...though looking at the pics I took, it looks like Tim was running the non-carbon Unishock at Newnham (more grey in Colour)

Re:
All depends if you want to ride it a lot and enjoy it without getting precious about the paint or ride it somewhere that won't damage paint.
I'd personally try it out off road, pre full respray etc, see how it feels.

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build
Looks like it has the scalloped cutaway at the front which indicates the road version of the Force to me.

Re: Re:
Agree with Velo
just depends where you want to stick the marker down in the time line that Tim had his, i.e. Brand new -> Mid life -> or well raced and tired looking
The latter would take a lot less effort and be quicker but I don't think thats a major fact for you given you stated you wanted it ready for Icon-O-Classic 2018
if you had his original bike then tired and knackered would be cool, but since this a homage I'd like to see you raise the bar and go for a fresh(er) looking version, but still be able to ride it

Re:
NOS does absolutely nothing for me - that bike will need thrashing, it's what it was made for!
