Some very nice artwork

If they cold, coke ever time.. Because you have earned it. If luke warm, water... Cause the others taste bad warm.

Gee dude... Looks hectic.. Fast recovery. Will you have full used of it once it's repaired. Looks really bad.

Remember seeing a white car like this at a Durban motor show when I was about 13 years old and always remembered looking at the wheels and wondering what Campagnolo was. This was before I started cycling...

What on earth is that, looks like a hand amputation. What happened?

Ah geez and she is my size too...

I think the idea of having one of the larger local events have a "classic" bunch is brilliant. It's one way of getting the movement going without having to organise a special event just for classic bikes.

I ride a cannondale as well and have rebuilt my old 525 hansom with original groupset. I has down tube shifters, and I just love the bike. Much nicer to ride than my 'dale. Can't beat the ride quality of good steel.

+1 531 is just about the best you could get and it's still great to ride. It's right up there with Columbus SLX tubing. Both legendary tube sets..

So do I... Show us some pics of it...please. I will take pics of mine this weekend..

Please share... Interested in how it was solved

I think because its a road bike the rear isn't centre to the BB. You may have to either offset the rear hub if possible and re-dish the rim, or extreme case have the rear "cold set". Not sure the "flip-flop" hub is going to do the trick....

Looking good. Nice crank. Those "Ergo" bars look a little out of place on your build. You need a track or even a criterium bar. Just my thoughts, hope I haven't offended.

Powder coating you dont really have to worry about the surface finish of the rim and hub, whereas anodizing it basically colours the existing surface. So if its not smooth and shiny it will keep the same finish. If its nicely polished then you will get a much better quality looking finish. Guess it depends on what you really wanting and how hard wearing it needs to be.

I am 1.87cm tall with a out of proportion body, long legs and arms(91cm Inseam) and I always ride an XL mtb frame (20.5" or 21"). 19" and my seat post is ridiculously long.

Awesome bike there. Thats a Robbie McIntosh bike. And a TT bike at that. Hang on to that baby, so few old school TT bikes around.

Is this yours?.... freak sakes

If you have everything then rebuild it for sure. I have been riding my HANSOM quite regularly and rode it both days this weekend. Down Tube shifting is really not that bad. I actually prefer my HANSOM to my Cannondale. I have decided to do Argus on my HANSOM this year.

Looks like you have the '89 "Blue" 105 on there. I have the same on my Reynolds 525 built HANSOM... Good luck in finding that specific groupset's spares... I am under correction, but Shimano only made the "Blue" 105 groupset for 1 year. I say look for the missing pieces and restore back to original.

I have a set of those exact decals I got from cyclomondo. They are brilliant quality. I agree with the painting wording on, but if you want to keep it authentic then go with decals, just like it came out with.

Nice ride. Love the seat clamp lug and SLX is just about as good as it gets... I reckon Campag all the way, maybe with some Delta brake callipers ... Keep the pics coming. Oh and welcome to the Hub

Why not try and look at a Giant Anthem, their back up seems to be much better than Scott from what I have seen on the hub.

I have just sold my dual Sus to go back to a hard tail. Less maintenance and hassle. If you did the epic on a hard tail then that's probably the hardest it's going to get. Personally I would have stuck to the hard tail. But that's just me. I hated the feeling of the back wheel on my dual. I like knowing what the back wheel is doing. If that makes sense.
