Classic Lugged Steel - Basso Fior di Loto

[cape]

I went trough my stash last night and found what I was looking for. Galli Criterium crankset, matching Galli seatpost, ITM cockpit... I also found a white Unicanitor saddle but I think I should go with a Turbo instead. What do you think?

[cape]

I'd be riding the bike to work tomorrow IF my beer can shim hadn't failed. Getting frustrated.

Looks good so far:

Looking good. Nice crank.

Those "Ergo" bars look a little out of place on your build.

You need a track or even a criterium bar.

Just my thoughts, hope I haven't offended.

[cape]

Totally agree with you quintonb, I will replace the handlebar when rest of the build is finished.

 

I'm currently struggling to get an acceptable chain line:

 

 

[quintonb]

I think because its a road bike the rear isn't centre to the BB.

You may have to either offset the rear hub if possible and re-dish the rim, or extreme case have the rear "cold set".

Not sure the "flip-flop" hub is going to do the trick....

[cape]

The chain line problem has been solved. Thanks Johannes!

[quintonb]

Please share... Interested in how it was solved

[Omlette]

Looking really good

We machined the crankset. This allowed us to bring the drive side crank closer to the frame.

Heading home after a long night. It's cold as f*** again.

Project delayed. Currently in hospital.

What on earth is that, looks like a hand amputation.

What happened?

[cape]

I was spinning the crank with a dummy pedal. Hand got between the frame and the crank. Hand got mutilated. Won't be riding any time soon.
