Looks like it was in very safe hands. Lots of love for Brodie's on RB! Looking very smart indeedHere we go. Its back from Chris Dekerf's paintshop. I chose to repaint with King Blue, pretty close to the original Brodie Eggplant. Has a nice sparkle to it in the sun.
I don’t think you have to go that far…there is one currently at the German eBay:I have crazy amounts of want for a Brodie. They are just something else. I think I need to book a flight to Canada to hunt one out!
Top notch colour choice!Here we go. Its back from Chris Dekerf's paintshop. I chose to repaint with King Blue, pretty close to the original Brodie Eggplant. Has a nice sparkle to it in the sun.
He had to separate the fork crown from the steer tube and then re-engineer a larger diameter steer tube with differential diameters to fit the original crown and the head tube. Took a bit of work he said. And yes that's an NOS Syncros headset...another unicorn find from a local retrobike afficiando. If I had to be honest it probably didn't make a lot of financial sense to put the amount of money that I did to refurbish/rebuild an essentially 30 year old bike but it was a purely emotional buy....I have always wanted one of these.Top notch colour choice!
What did Chris do to fit the forks then?
Is that a Syncros headset?
