javadude Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Good grief, does that say Bugatti? Looks like it. Here's Maserati's take on retro:
HeartCoppi Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 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.
HeartCoppi Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 The project was rolled out for a ride for the first time today. Just tightened and trued again and shes almost ready.
slowtwitch Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Hey Hey julle gom torre The bikes that was new tech the last time I was on the Hub can almost qualify for this thread now!!!
MintSauce Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 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!
LeTurbo Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 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.
MintSauce Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 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?

Now just add a brown leather saddle.
eggsovereasywithteandtoast Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Post a pick of the girlfriend. We'll help you decide.

Have you thought of moving your girlfriend to the garage Just a thought. BTW, what crank is that?
MintSauce Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 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.
MintSauce Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 And just as a matter of interest, how's this for clearance?
