Well, it took some time but I got it ready to ride:



It fits perfect and it rides awesome - I really love it!

Some better pictures will follow in the next days and I am looking forward to hit the dirt

Thanks!

Very cool. How did you track down that frame?

 

[caemis]

I just saw, I never answerd the last question. How I track down the frame? I asked Paul Sadoff and he gave me the right contact... Here we go.

BUT I have some more reasons to write today.
First of all, I want to share some pictures:



Then, another picture but with some serious content - so be aware!


Thats it - there is one, rather two f**cking cracks in the headtube! The frame is at the painter for stripping it. I need to check if there are some more cracks. Afterwards it will be repaired, but that might take some time...

After a long time I got news from Paul Sadoff yesterday:

Repaired frame and new fork in original specs and mostly period correct mateirals... :mrgreen:

The pictures of the repaired frame look great. It should be like new now.

What size chainring do you use? Looks pretty big for off-road singlespeed? Or maybe you have legs like Schwarzenegger?!

Brilliant bike and story Shame about the damage but repaired its just as new

 

[caemis]

Yeah, I am really looking forward to build it up again and go ride...
@jimo746 - I will set down the gear ratio - this is more a commuting/winter setup; in the woods some times I had to get off and walk...
But anyway I am happy that it is repaired...
