HeartCoppi Posted July 8, 2011 Share Made a detour this week to Dr George. What a gentleman ! What an interesting shop ! Lots of nice stuff for the retro bike enthusiast. Managed to get a couple of really nice parts. More importantly, I had the privilege to meet the Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MintSauce Posted July 10, 2011 Share Stumbled across this beauty on Friday. Made my week. I think late sixties or early seventies Pogliaghi Pista in chrome. Can't wait to get it built up so I can ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeTurbo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Lordy Andreas, that looks good. Is this a teaser campaign, showing us little details bit by bit to get everyone drooling before seeing the whole bike? Like a new car model that's draped in a big sheet? And how did she ride in this unbelievably beautiful weather? Mintsauce, that's an amazing find. Track bike, yes? Lovely. You're going to have the fixie brigade turning inside out with jealousy. Well, me too actually. Rode the Le Turbo to work today after a long break. Jeepers, the geometry is different; sitti ng much more upright than any of my other bikes. But I love her to death; friction shifts are as smooth as butter (apart from nearly putting my fingers in the wheel), she doesn't make a single sound from the freewheel - absolutely silent - and rides as surely as if she were on rails. I juat had to sing her praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted July 13, 2011 Share I'm no good with a camera so the pic doesn't do it justice, but thought I'd update anyway. Still need to get a nice seatpost and polish up the frame a little. This thing makes me so happy. The girlfriend doesn't appreciate me sitting in the lounge staring at it, so I've moved it to the garage. Might stick a bed in here....what more does a guy need?

That's very cool. Have you thought of moving your girlfriend to the garage Just a thought. BTW, what crank is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted July 14, 2011 Share That's very cool. Have you thought of moving your girlfriend to the garage Just a thought. BTW, what crank is that? I doubt she'd be too keen. Besides, how is she going to cook my dinner down there? Crank is a Zeus Pista 165mm, fitted with a 42th ring off a similar vintage Zeus road crank I have.
