by the way, these somec frames look amazing, would love to see one in person....

retro is back and im loving it........

i think the reflection off the frame damaged my camera lense.............

time for something really RETRO, retro in a South African way that is...........

thanks all for there nice comments.

Really nice. That frame looks mint. Is it 7 or 8 speed? hey velo. its running on old school 7 speed shimano, frame is not really that mint unfortunatly. but looks non the less impressive. chrome work gives it that extra pop..

heres my latest..........

hey heartcoppi: please tell us more about your lastest stead?

i would prefer a classic steel eddy M or cinelli: the bike i just to flashy and borderlines ugly

yes most def!!!

new project: old not so pretty raleigh racer, but its got potential

pulled this serial number off the bottom bracket shell. does it mean much?? PM91085146

hi all, i have had soo many different ideas of what this frame could be, anyone have a picture to proof there choices?

its a modified chain tentioner from our downhill chain guides: www.csixx.com its a bb mount, works well, but is just a concept for now, we hope to have a spring tentioned version soon

hi all, thanks for your comments so far, its nice when you start a topic that justifies a comment. one thing i must say is that i am a down and down bicycle lover, the enjoyment of R100 or R100000 bicycle is not in the bicycle itself but in the rider himself. So when i see the potential to restore/ fix up something of atleast some classical nature i feel its my duty to try my best to revive it enough for either myself or somebody else to enjoy. so in other words, a bicycle that still looks and can still be ridden like a bicycle after 30 years is not crap.it just hasnt been looked after. keep your eyes peeled: this bike will be have some street credit when its finished.

hi all dont laugh please, but i found this bike at the local flea market, it has a fixed gear rear wheel from a track bike,wierd?? anyhay, i hate not knowing what make of bike it is. it pretty light and has some semi decent details, the most noticable detail is around the seat-tube. it almost has an exterior sleeve over it!!!it also has slotted rear dropout, hence being able to run it single speed.its has a combination of shimano exige and 200gs parts can anyone tell me what and whom made a frame like this thanks

i love buying second hand bike parts and bikes because the price of new components and bikes are so rediculous i almost fall over everytime in enter a retail store, you need to be careful yes, but the reward when you find a bargain is just too good. second hand parts and bikes make it soo much more affordable to those without big wallets.

my kona:

cheap bike=cheap parts i have had two suntour forks so far and both worked very well. i have punished the fork alot and they can take alot of abuse, thier top of the range forks are great looking, but cant talk much about there performance as i havent tried them out

hi all: whom here has any experience with servicing a set of st-a410 sti levers??? any advice would be great

hi all: i have a set of shimano rsx sti levers that i want to take apart and clean-up/get shifting 100 percent. does anyone know of an available manual or good website link to help me out?? thanks

did i see this bike ride critical mass this morning???

the rider has some wierd lines!! how long ago was this?

paint-stripper, goldy-locs and wire brush attatchment for my grinder. im scared of sandblasters, and i didnt want to spend the extra cash also!! i want to try keep the frame raw and abused but it started to rust soo quickly, got sewing machine oil on it for the mean time.

this is what i call suicide drop-outs!!if its lose it aint staying!!
