I love the look of aero wheels on vintage steel framed bikes

Bititan? Many more pictures needed!

^ the white and gold one is a bit meh imo, except if you are the pope.

 

I prefer standard white and chrome, perhaps with a small rainbow stripe

Whoever bought a C59 Nero today... I hate the fact that you were faster than me

Mmm. That explains the sellers non response to my query ? And I was quick .

I was ready to drive through last night, got a response this morning saying someone was on their way.

Spotted this in Bloubergstrand a few days ago

She looked so special that I even asked the owner whether I could take a few pics

That sure is something unusual. I never even knew they made a tandem.

How's your hand and ribs doing after your altercation Dale?

 

 

Since you are the spiritual custodian of this thread, I will answer here @Morph

 

I'm recovering well, man. Pain is under control, thankfully

My first fracture of anything - the ribs are eina. Seemingly better every day.

My hand may or may not undergo surgery. 50/50. Waiting for swelling to subside and assess ligament damage.

I am miserable when I wake up. And the spirit soars as the day progresses.

Medically speaking, I'm in excellent care. Very privileged, I am.

Looks like Johnny Koens tandem.

I have been able to allocate a bit of ZAR to finish a Colnago build (long overdue).

 

Frame is C50 in PRAL

 

I need help with finding the perfect parts, and thought to put it on here as well, in case somebody has a lead to a shop, website or spares for sale.

 

1. White stem, 130mm

White stems are hen's teeth it seems, and 130mm is a bit of a challenge to source too. Absolute 1st prize would be like the attached one, but no stock at the online shops.

 

2. White handlebar - not a fasionable colour atm.

 

3. Saddle - black with a bit of white highlights would be perfect. Ive been most happy on Selle Italia SLRs, have switched to riding the flow version at some point. I have a black and red as in the pic on my Eddy Merckx, cant find a white one online. Probably discontinued ????
