98+ BoTM 98+ Bike of The Month May 2025 - Now taking entries

[benjabbi]

Can't figure out how to give it a title ( technology is not my strong point ) but here is my 97 Sintesi Bazooka or it could be a 98. I bought the frame as an old beat up thing and resprayed it myself. I went for silver Hope headset, big un hubs, M4 brakes, rear skewer and seat clamp. XTR M952 cranks, BB, shifter and rear derailleur. Azonic bars, stem and grips. MK1 DMR V12 pedals and Geax 2.4 tyres with an SDG tiger print saddle. I hope you all enjoy the pics.

Lovely bike, I'd do a thread for it if you haven't already. You're only allowed 2 pics in BOTM.

I wish I knew how. I'm no good with things like that.

If you go to Readers Bikes 1998 --> in the forum list and click it. Somewhere in the top right corner is an orange box that says "post thread" click that and away you go.

PhillB's 2006 Independent Fabrication Steel Deluxe - I found this frame on eBay a few months back and the slowly built it up. My first build with disc brakes (believe it or not!!) It's by far the newest retro bike in my collection by almost a decade.

It's lovely to ride - although I'll not be giving up on the early 90's steel just yet

Yeah. Come on people.

Place and show what you have - as long as it is not a crime against humanity. That would disgust. Obviously. Have some standards.

Get your beauties photographed and presented with a little write up.
