Have not weigh it,but not light, this is probably Reynolds 025 tubing, heavy but strong, road it in November on a 2 day gravel ride of 173km, and performed without any hassles.

Vintage Steel Hansom Gravel bike. Fitted with 9 speed Sti shifters 38t narrow wide in front, and 11/42 microshift cassette at the back. Fitted with 35c tyres.

Orbea Starship frame pimped with some decals on the wheels. Giving this old bike new life. Love the paint work on this bike.

My latest Bianchi with Sl Columbus tubing i got with some help and trading with one of my fellow vintage collectors. Now to upgrade the groupset to Campagnolo.

My Eddy Merckx converted to a Neo Retro Build with 10 Speed Shimano 105 groupset with Tune hub wheelset.

My Team Miyata rebuild with Shimano 600 Arabesque.

My collection i have build up since Buffs Vintage introduced me to Vintage Bicycles. Gitane, Eddy Merckx, Team Miyata, Giant Cadex cfr2, Hansom turned into my Gravel bike.

Team Miyata 1982 restoration.

Ktm formula s 1978 build, with Shimano 600 sis groupset.

Yes, cold stretch the frame, you will have to re align the hanger after that. There is an adapter on hub under vintage parts.

Tyron this my Gravel build

I did it myself. Rusoleum rattle can flip color, and an friend sprayed 2k clearcoat for me after I applied the decals, that was made by @Buffsvintagebikes.

My Hansom gravel build with 105sti shifters, deore mtb rear mech, and 38 Csixx narrow wide chainring. .

I have had 2 frames done by cape metal restorers in Brackenfell, Cape Town. They do an fine blasting, that is not to aggressive.

This is my Colnago Master Piu build. Frame painted by @BuffsVintageBikes and stem pantograph by him. Fork was re chromed and the bike was build with matching Dura Ace 7402 parts. Wheels are Mavic open 4cd rims on Dura Ace hubs. This was an project that took many hours to complete, but it was worth the time.

Hansom Steel Vintage Gravel bike build fitted with 700x30c Schwalbe cx pro tyres

Converted an Steel Vintage Hansom Frame into this Gravel bike. Running 9 speed Sti 105 shifters with an 9 speed mtb long cage derailleur with 38t Narrow wide chainring. 11/36 Cassette at the back. Running 28c Panaracers Gravel king tyres that i did the Eroica this year. Unbelievable tyres, had not punctures on the 89km off road course.

i will leave it to the owner to give the details, i am just happy that i could play an part to reunite him with the bike.

We caught the guy, bike recovered.

Hansom repainted. Decals done by @buffsvintagebikes. Flip color, my first paint job i tried.

Thanks for feedback. Not at this stage, still to much in love after her first maiden ride to Jonkershoek yesterday with @buffsvintagebikes. Maybe one day i will let her go, if i get another nice project. regards Hennie

My Gitane Professionnel 531c refurbished full Shimano 600ex groupset with Mavic wheels.

Hansom Super Prestige Reynold 525 i refurbished.

This is an small frame, thats why it does not have the tri angle. Hennie

Gt zaskar was stripped and repainted with new custom decals and assembled. This build was done for my son Anru. This is how to put new life in an old carbon frame, by adding new paint and decalls.
