I vote to your RTS, It's realy a beauty. The spin wheelset make a difference but I liked even with hope-mavic wheelset in combination with maxxis butterscotch. I know that you build it with NOS components and you would like to keep it as an exhibit bike in the workshop but can't understand how can you resist not to riding it. I ride all my retro projects, so because of this I never start to building a project if the frame is not my size. So with your customers just enjoy watching this beauty.
Cheers mate, it's been a really fun build.
I have had a roll around on this bike to check everything is running spot on, but to be honest it's too small for me as I am 6'1". I ran an 18" version back in the day, but in my opinion the smaller sized frame is more aesthetically pleasing. Another reason for not riding this one as it is a true surviver of days gone and like I said earlier in this thread I snapped 3 of these frames back in the day so I am happy just to appreciate this as fully functioning retro workshop art. Ive got modern bikes that I ride.
This is my private workshop at home, it’s not a bike shop workshop.
