[Jamiedyer]

Welcome to RBotM July 2022
We are back and it's an Open Month this month so it means the entries are open to one and all!
So whether it's a lovely ride shot from a trip or a build you are working on, anything with a retro bike than please get a photo or two and enter.

Usual rules apply, of which they are in the WIKI section but basically, two photos, a brief couple of sentences description and a link to where to find more information, such as a readers rides page, webpage etc.

Thanks in advance.

This is my Falcon Black Diamond, back from a respray. The rebuild has just started with bottom bracket, gear lever and cable guide and brake cable hangers attached. There's a way to go yet...

More details and lots of before shots at my website: https://falconrestorebike.wordpress.com/

I've recently moved from carbon to steel and bought this Battaglin from the early 1990s. Campag Athena groupset, Fir Aria wheels. I haven't changed much other than the stem, new bar tape and a bit of a clean. Rides like a dream.

Here my classic retro bike for July
Refer loosing the ebay auction for this frame set some years ago some month later - I got an offer for these bike from a motor cycle collector, who have had bought this bike together with an old Ducati in Northern Italy. He has no passion for such bicycle and sold it the bike in auction to Far East but the purchaser won’t not pay the extra shipping costs - so he offered the bike to the 1st Looser…

So I got this wonderful Carrera-Tassoni Aquila type bike in nearly complete team‘s specification

With reference to the seller, who had contacted Podium, I.e. the manufacturer of Carrera-bikes, that this bike has been a real team bike … but who knows?!

An early birthday present from me to me, because I'm worth it

Fillet brazed Columbus Max Somec with a Maro Martini paint job and loads of panto C-Record parts. I contacted Somec for a date of frame and they said it was 88./99, or possibly early 90 at the latest, aka the flouro era.

More detailed pics of the wild paint and panto work can be seen here, which shows how bike came to me and what I changed.

Who did the panto work?

Assumed it was Somec themselves, but don't know really, never actually asked them about that.
