Ello,
I have an old cyclocross frame here and I've been thinking of doing it up a
replica/tribute frame to the De Vlaeminck Bros. It's quite a nice frame - campagnolo dropouts, 27mm seat post, rather nice lug work. I think it's early
1970's - it has clamp on cable guides on the TT and BB shell, rather than braze ons.
I've been thinking about doing one of the following:
1) Flandria with Dura Ace/Crane parts
2) Gios with Nuovo Record
3) Groene Leeuw/Watney's with Nuovo Record
I've already got most of the parts to do the different builds, including some Mafac cantis.
Also wondering whether it's possible to get skin/tan wall cross tyres (not tubulars).
Am sort of leaning towards the Flandria at the moment because many Flandria riders used custom frames anyway, rather than the stock frames of the factory.
No intention of selling on, more just a vanity project (-:
Not in a rush over this, probably won't get started till after Xmas.
Cheers for any input,
Johnny
