Re: Couldn't resist! Sycip?

I use a Campagnolo Euclid/Centaur Mtb regularly and I have to say it works great. Solid components and beautiful too.

Not a Mtb, but I've built this one for my wife.It's a fillet brazed mixte in pregnant set up( sky high handlebar!). With a young daughter it's been hard to find the time but I would like to do a road bike at some point.

A friend of mine did the powdercoat. It looked ok at first but it needs to be redone now. I will probably get a proper wet coat from Toxik Harald here in Vancouver. My advise is don't cheap out on the paint job.

Thanks, I tried to use as much Italian components I could. Most parts are Italian except for the tires,tubes,fork crown, bars and spokes. Rims are Campagnolo Zark and the tubing is a mix of Columbus and Dedacciai.

Do it! I built this retro style frame a few years back at Ubi in Ashland, Oregon. It's a great feeling to ride your own bike. The bars are Ritchey's.

Wow, thanks for the link. :D

I agree it's not safe, especially for your daughter, don't do it.

Thanks for all the votes for my Slingshot. Nice bikes this month, the Steve Potts is totally gorgeous, totally deserves 1st place. :)

Can you Tig weld a L shape piece of rod to it? then use it as a lever.That always works for me. Good luck.

Thanks, I wasn't sure about white at first, but I think it looks great now.

Good news bike is 99.9% finished, just need decals. :D :D I'm glad I put some pressure to get it done. 1986 Ritchey Timberwolf

I agree, that Brodie is not a good deal. keep looking, good ones come up for better price. Good luck. Now I wish I saw the Hei Hei.

You could get someone with a lathe to turn down the crown race? Unfortunately it would probably cost you more than the fork from a machine shop, unless you know somebody. Easy job.

I know, I was a bit reluctant to let it go, but I couldn't justify keeping it either. I made sure it went to a good home. :D
