Thinking of my next project :)

What are people opinions on a strong steel bike frame from the 70s/80s weight is not an issue.

And also interested in what ones you have broken ?
 
A 90 alpine star cro-mega

Or an 89 MS racing

Or a Titan half track ,bomb proof

Or some British steel ,Saracen killi racer
P1030572.jpg


Or some Fuji credit card roller cam bike loveliness

Some nice options there, i like the Saracen for sure :!:

Planning on build a Klunker style non suspension bike for the Dorset trails as homage to the repack :D

You can never have enough projects ;)
 
My Fuji's the closest to that
Got a couple of Cannondale's that fit your brief too

The Fuji was ridden at the mac retro national at Innerleithen last year and it was a bloody brilliant bike for the big day out comfy ,fast ,pretty
Not the easiest of things to find tho

Dawes ,Saracen ,khs , univega might be the way to go

Even generalized from that era are scarce

Thanks for that, ill keep my eyes peeled in the for sale sections.

I have a Road bike, a 'with the kids bike', a disc braked full suspension beast, just wanted a Klunker style bike like i had in the late 70's :D
 
All the broken ones I've seen have been due to the 8 feet of seat post sticking out and levering at the rear of the cross bar. Choose an appropriately sized frame and his shouldn't befall you.
