Retro Bicycle Thread


Delgado

Recommended Posts

She's a KOGA MIYATA, with the revered and noteworthy FM1 splined and trible butted tubing.

She's been documented on receipt and have enjoyed every minute taking off all the parts.

I will share pics but am holding it very close to my chest until I'm done with this project. It will take several months. Sorry about that.

I love reading this thread.

 

I came across some documents whilst doing some research on my bike. It's not too old, but really like the style of writing. You can almost imagine seeing the person drafting this document, pouring out his passion in trying to explain how their frames are made.

 

Once my bike is put back together I will post pics...it is carbon though, but i'm sure you don't mind. :whistling:

...which has now been passed on to me (thanks Chro Mo! :clap: ).

 

So I guess I'll be building/ restoring the 'nervy' ride.

 

First attempt at a road build (never mind a slight restoration) so hopefully it turns out well.

1" headset for threaded fork and quill stem.

 

Anyone have this item (or something similar) that they are looking to part with/ sell?

I just started with this vintage Hansom build:

 

So far it has matching Shimano 600 tri-colour brake calipers and levers, Dura-Ace headset, SR Sakae bars and Sugino seat post bolt.
