Guest notmyname Posted June 3, 2015 Share Better post up my 25 year old bike project here... Looked like this last week - credit where credit is due... he can out himself.. Frame2.jpg Looks like this now - again - credit where credit is due... he can out himself.. or not - as the case may be... SS stripped.jpg Thanks for the help lads.. much much appreciated.. Collecting it tomorrow and by next week - hopefully will have some paint on.... and may even be ridable....I suspect he's posted on this thread and has himself a pretty pretty SS.

V12man Posted June 3, 2015 Share V12 what frame is that? I love the attention to detail grinding the cable guides off...Its a 1989 schwinn sierra MOS frame - Same as the one grant usher tossed in a bin... owned it since new - been stolen twice and recovered twice... this is its second conversion - I converted it to a ss about 3 years ago and took off all the gearing guides then - now we have added the sliders and taken off the canti brake cable guides and added mounts for hydraulic disk brakes. I have a rigid syncros carbon fork waiting for it. Frame was originally black chrome and thenI painted it purple and black when I did the ss conversion. Now its going to go satin black with lambo green logos - thats my current thinking anyway. Jinga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbit Posted June 3, 2015 Share So here goes... It's that time of year and I'm wanting to build up a ss shredder for winter/ss champs. Going to move components across from an old trek fuelx that I broke one of the chain stays on. Looking for a 26" hartail frame. Steel is real, ti is fly and alu is value. If anybody has anything they willing to part with please let me know. On a student budget. Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthunders Posted June 17, 2015 Share Ive got a SiD XX fork I want to trade for a Large Steel 29er MTB frame. If you got anything to trade let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted June 18, 2015 Share Did any one buy a flip flop hub? It seems impossible to find in Cape Town. Perhaps a wheelset with a flip flop? Can you spray alu or steel with airasol spray paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonfeesh Posted September 28, 2015 Share Hey guys Awesome reading (and seeing) some of your projects I'm planning on restoring this old Made-in-Southern-Africa Peugeot I found on Gumtree. I am planning on keeping it as simple as it is now, powder coating it and replacing the decals and re-chroming all the shiny bits. I am not overly concerned with authenticity but would like it to look good once done. Anyone have any advice on things to avoid as I embark on this?
