javadude Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Been playing transformers with the Master. Retro Mode: Neo Retro Mode:
javadude Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Having fun with a single speed experiment with the Daccordi. Thanks to Morpheus for this frame:
LeTurbo Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 I was in Noordhoek with my Master the other day (makes it sound a bit like an S&M thread), and all the guys with carbon bikes were stopping to perve. It's a good feeling. The neo-retro looks lean, mean, and "don't **** with me".
LeTurbo Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Just for mazeltov, I thought I'd post these pics. I was looking up the Bowden as the freakiest but lovely bike. 'Twas designed in 1946 and originally built in aluminium, then went into production in 1960 as a fibreglass edition. Only about 500 were made. It had shaft-drive, with lights and hooter powered by D-batteries. They go for upwards of $25 000 now. The second is from www.bicyclemuseum.com. Mainly American bikes, but some interesting facts - like a titanium bike from 1972. This one is an 1897 Elliot Hickory, all built of ... well, hickory.
javadude Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Check out this auction on eBay. Still 6 days to go and already the price is sitting at almost $2000. This is the Campag holy grail: http://cgi.ebay.com/Campagnolo-Super-Record-50th-Anniversary-Group-NOS-NIB-/130415195701?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5d59f635
HeartCoppi Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 next project.....Always had a liking for that stem.
Scoe Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Hey guys.I was given an old, yellow steel bike. It's called a ZINI... Now I'm young and have zero experience with retro stuff, but the slot drop outs make it a great candidate to be a SS.I took all the old shimano 600 and Corsa parts off and have donated what's usable, except the Corsa brake levers which I'm keeping.Now, is there anything in particular I should know??Is my fame anything special - I see it doesn't say anything about Columbus or any other special tubing on it... And the brand? Any pedigree?Many thanks
