Nice! Just found your thread - that kona looks tidyIm renovating a 91 Lava Dome, being in Glasgow its winter 364 days a year
But hopefully have it finished inside a month and maybe even get a ride in before the Scottish weather really goes down the toilet
currently sorting out the paint chips before it gets a t-cut, Im not looking for perfection just tidy
I am upgrading the brakes to v-brakes and the gear levers to triggers as I hate thumb selectors but other than that Im not changing much else
I’m working on transforming a recently acquired P7 race bike into a rat build PMX with BMX bars, girvin vectors and possibly a 1x7 drivetrain. As much black as I can find, and a proper parts bin special
Something fun to tinker with and then use next summer to spin up to the brewery taproom.
Wow, I'd not heard of the Bates B.A.R so had a Google - that's a very nice looking bike! Build thread?Rebuilding my winter ride at the moment. It's a Spa cycles titanium audax frame set with a mix of Campagnolo and Shimnano components.
Campy Bar end shifters fitted , triple chain set for now . 9 speed cassette. Shimano brakes and levers .
A bitzer really . Needs mudguards sorting before riding.
No build thread as it doesn't fit anywhere imho.
Next in line is my Bates B.A.R circa 1950 which needs finishing.
I don't know anything about motorbikes but that sounds worthy of a build thread! Any photos?You did say 'Not necessarily bike related'...embarking on a full stripdown (hopefully not engine but who knows) of a 1979 Suzuki GS750 this winter. Frame going to be powdercoated, brakes fully refurbed, carbs stripped and cleaned and hoping to make a new wiring loom. Done many of these things individually but never all together. Hoping to get the 90KG lump of a motor out in the next week and then the rolling chassis comes into the house. As you can imagine, some faces were pulled at the mention of that
