Fluro Cinelli 1988/89. Finished.

.

Still hoping to stick with 6 speed
Levers are on the way as is a Bullmoose stem/bar combo
This may end up being the reverse of a retromod
I think i've sorted the tyre issue, so just some shifters to sort now which i'm confident i'll get by next week

I've made a bit of progress with this now
Hoping to have a useable set of 6 speed thumbies by next weekend which will enable me to get her rideable.

So the build as it stands currently is;
Cinelli Columbus F&F circa 1988.
Araya 26x 1.75 rims
Suzue hubs(stainless spokes)
Tioga Farmer John front tyre
IRC Geoclaw rear(both 2.1)
Delightful pink Dia Compe rear U brake
Exage mountain front canti
Shimano M700 brake levers(thanks to Doctor-bond for these)
Cromo Bullmoose bars of unknown origin.
Exage Mountain chainset and derailleurs.
TA Ti BB(because it fits )
Original seatpost(after 2 hours of polishing )
San Marco Rolls saddle(will be fitted tomorrow).

As i say thats about it until i sort some shifters out.

Unsure what colour to go for with cable outers, any ideas?
probably black ritchey grips, but nothing is set in stone

The barset is a great idea looks spot on!

Rolls is the right choice

 

[mynchiboy]

Great bike, I'm lovin' the fluro at the moment

Strangely enough I can see that frame with white cable outers - I reckon they will look cool against the silver and chrome parts

 

[jonnyboy666]

those bars are perfect!!

I love the bars, to be honest they are all i could see it wearing from the time i picked it up
Glad you like it Graham, because it does matter
Pink outers? Oh i don't know :roll:

 

[weeman_mtb]

Multicoloured outers just like the frame I reckon, ie a bit of each.

...Or just black as it would be hard to pick just one.

Good work so far by the way .

Great but degrease/clean those rear mech jockey wheels!
