    Carrera Podium Columbus Genius 1993ish anyone?

    Got this rare-ish frame/forks earlier this year & have built it up with Campag Veloce/Chorus components. Has a Columbus Genius frame which is quite light & impressive: ) Would have added an image, but I've given up after many fruitless attempts. First my pic was too big. Then, when I reduce...

    Retromod 1955 Royal Enfield Superlight. Opinions wanted: )

    Just prepping my 1955 RE Superlight before it gets a repaint. Winter project & I'm looking for opinions/suggestions before I go ahead. Frame was originally a pale flamboyant green in roughish condition, but I painted it (rattlecan) black to see how it would look. Just built it up with...

    Ebay Track Forks & underslung 50s stem

    Couple of items I listed yesterday, which may be of interest here. The stem is a Noname, but came from an interesting early/mid fifties Rory O'Brien road bike. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122078042559? ... 1555.l2649 The Track forks are Italian built, with Campag Ends + Cinelli crown. Great, if...

    Humber Clipper 1955 in 95% original order.

    Plenty of Lentons on here, but how about the Humber Clipper variant? Just been out for its first test run & it's a pleasing retro ride. All original except for brake calipers/levers & the 3 speed hub was replaced (into the original 26 x 1 1/4 Dunlops) in the early 80s. I expected it to come...

    1960s French Diamant mixte anybody?: )

    Hope this machine is in the right place here? Looking like a late 1960s mixte, an ebay buy described as a Peugeot. It's not a Peugeot, it's a Diamant. Not the better known German or Belgian/Norwegian Diamant, etc. but the French one, with an illustrious history if you google it. (La Francaise...

    Small, 20" or under, quality lightweight road frame wanted.

    Looking for a very good lightweight frame (or the right complete bike) for a niece who is showing signs/capabilities of being a competetive rider. Needs to be on, or slightly under, 20"/50cm. HS has some odd, expensive ones, but they are hard to find I know. Steel, alloy/carbon or carbon. (But...

    Royal Enfield Superlight Retro 531 1960ish

    Just to introduce my 'new' Royal Enfield project... The Superlight was sold as a flat-bar tourer from early 50s to end of 1966 when RE was dissolved. (M/Cs went to India & still extant) This was an ebay 'find' in Chester recently. I already have an earlier similar frame, but this one still has...

    Tall 1955 Sid Mottram road/path frame/forks.

    Tall 25" Sid Mottram Road/Path frame here. 1955ish & built by Wally Green or Mercian. (Wally Green I reckon) Original paint, rear undrilled, chunky ends, just a little too big for me. 531 & Nervex Pro lugs. Located Gloucester, but shipping for £15 in UK is available. Intended for ebay but I...

    English Dave Marsh lightweight.

    Here's my current DM favourite ride. Understated but cool in my opinion. Got mostly low end Campy components here, but it weighs in at 21lb with a Brookes Professional so it's quite a flier: ) [/img][/url] Features close clearances and neat details. More pics here...
