Orbea Starship frame pimped with some decals on the wheels. Giving this old bike new life. Love the paint work on this bike.
My Eddy Merckx converted to a Neo Retro Build with 10 Speed Shimano 105 groupset with Tune hub wheelset.
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.

Did you have the stays cold stretched to fit a modern rear wheel?
Yes, cold stretch the frame, you will have to re align the hanger after that. There is an adapter on hub under vintage parts.
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.
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.
Beautiful Hennie, I'll be a willing buyer when you decide to part with her.
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

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.
