It will be metallic orange in a few months, with blue Benotto tape.

Not a true 'road bike', but steel all the same...

this is mine,

Not its best angle. Also looks a bit more at home with its mudguards and rear dyno light these days.

Touring bike rather than road bike, saddle needed adjustment and racks fitting.

Sam, what bag is that mate?

[img] [/img]

Looks a bit different now.

This is a fairly old photo, the white tyres are long gone.

Ready to be built up - Italian, handmade, Columbus Genius.. I fell in love with the curvacious seat stays!

Sam's bag looks like a carradice from the green with the orange leather strap restraint.

I love that frame Digger. I don't think I've seen a lugged Kona, looks really right.

I have an Arthur Caygil in the loft which I'll be modernising.
But I found this thread for inspiration.

That Colnago is very nice.

Don't they all just look so nice, it's not just my age is it.

was about to post a pic but Sam has posted mine already.
Here is a different pic instead.

Not mine but a fried at work is expecting delivery of this beauty at some point this year. http://www.demonframeworks.com/gallery/
953 I believe, even though I don't do road bikes I can salivate over this one.

Nice bike Pebble, here's the '98 version.

Dyffers - you don't see many Serotta's in the UK. I had a Legend CSL many years ago, beautiful.

I'm thinking of building my Casseroll back up.

Cheap Guerciotti frame from Planet X, bits chosen for looks.
[img] [/img]

Here's about half of it. Got some way to go though!

[img] [/img]

Doesn't look cheap, how does the Guerciotti ride?

It's nice, only used for recovery and cafe rides though!

Another Casseroll

[img] [/img]

Just bought an old 531 Professional frame for restoration. Looks pre 82. can't wait to get working on it, so it's goodbye to the little Italian frame up there.

like that a lot damitamit + the singular too!

Getting this old heap Saturday, then it's straight off to Ellis Briggs for a re paint.
Look at that nice seat clamp lug, and it's 531 Professional successor to 531SL.
Is that a campag chainset? what brakes, stem and bars are they? And the fella says he has the 'alloy wheels' for it?

Now for sale if anyone fancies it...

i NEED some silver bars and a silver stem for mine but everything looks chunky at the side of the skinny steel tubes

Rob. Planet-X have some silver quill stuff.

That Surly above is stunning. Simple and elegant!

Here's mine that could do with a clean.

Surly CC for everyday riding and country lane jaunts. Dreaming of something more road-orinetated in nicer steel like the Enigma! Have thought of the Casseroll but not sure it's that different to the Cross Check.

Anyone got some old tubs going ? need a spare that's stretched.

Pastel.....

Finished building this on Saturday - just need to sort the bars out.

Sorry but steel road bikes just look so ugly IMO, apart from all the Kona's.

Heathen 🙂

Burn the witch.!
