HeartCoppi Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) on those lines: Hey Bud, listened to you on a radio clip the other day.How that darling Victoria. Heard you got back together again. Edited October 19, 2012 by HeartCoppi
LeTurbo Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Haha! Talking about a certain bike shop we both know? I wish I'd mentioned everything I wanted to. Yes, I got the Victoria back but it's been too depressing to really get around to her, so I took her to Nils this week. They/he/it buckled the back wheel - apart from destroying the pump, messing up the pedals, and other little things I don't want to know about. All good your side? What new toys and projects? Come join a coffee ride now it's (supposedly) getting to summer. Sometime.
HeartCoppi Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Sorry to hear of the damage. That hurts. Some things aren't easy to replace.. like those pedals.sshheeess, of course dude, plenty.(against my will)Been itching to ride but I take it you've seen the weather. The chopper has been up and down the road but no other bike and no further.

RaeTrewBrowne Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 this is a rad thread, cant believe i never saw it before this is a Bridgestone RB-1 i have been restoring (1988 i think?), she rides like a dream 8 Speed Campag Vento's with 7 Speed Dura Ace RD on friction. Zeus pedals with Christophe toe clips. lots of fun! http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/upload/251849804132730412_YU0idwIF_c.jpg HeartCoppi 1

Completely original with 6 speed Shimano 105, Wolber rims, Biopace, the works. Needs some TLC as there are some scratches and a bit of rust. Also needs new bar tape and new cables. Was toying with the idea of turning it into a SS/fixie type ride, but with all the original parts including the saddle and some period Shimano 600 pedals, i think it would be better as a restoration.

RaeTrewBrowne Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 meet Spartacus not sure what frame it is, i think it could be an Alpina? 100% track frame with horizontal drop outs and no water bottle cage bolts, toooo much fun. She is my commuter , hence the narrow bars (which is actually a seat post with a shim ), fits really nicely between the cars as my shoulders are above the rooves of the cars. used vinyl for the colour wrapping and then clear coated over it. http://media-cache-ec3.pinterest.com/upload/251849804132650962_QV93qDzw_c.jpg DR ◣◢ 1
Flippa Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Here's some quick pics of mine. As you can see, has seen better days. The pedals have been changed to Shimano 600 with toe clips. DR ◣◢ 1

I thought so too. I need to strip it down to the frame only and then go over the frame with polish. I'll see what needs to be done after that. It rides really well.
V12man Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 This is mine - think it dates from the mid 80's - sorry the pictures are not the greatest and it's covered in dust. HeartCoppi 1
