1999 CAAD 3 Martyn Ashton frameset, restomod edition.

Fall has fallen here in NYC, and this bike remains an absolute blast.

Thank goodness, it's all about the ride!

Perfect rims. I would have used them for my recent rebuild, except I only have one rim. Are you aiming for a full period-correct replica?

Great to see one of these being built up into an actual Trials rig! What rims & hubs are you planing to use?

Cheers! For those that care, this thing weighs 21.5 lbs as currently built. I dare say it weighed less when I ran road gears and tyres...

Thanks for the Instagram post guys, I'm honoured :D

Another season, another full service and tyre change. This time I've gone for Vittoria Corsa G+ 700x25s. Plush and really surprisingly fast. Lightweight Conti tubes inside might help a bit, who knows. Cockpit has received an update too, the Thomson/Ritchey combo has made way for Zipp Service...

LOVE that F2000SL! I had a version of the Coda/Volvo saddle that had anodised blue rails, it lasted less than six months before one of the rails snapped :( I binned it out of sheer frustration at the time, wish I'd kept the shell as some sort of souvenir.

New headset, BB and this later she's rolling again. It's only been a couple of weeks, but I've genuinely missed this thing!

This bike has been fun as hell these past few months, but despite installing a clutched RD, it occasionally throws the chain (outwards) when shifting into the smallest cog on the cassette. So I looked into getting a Narrow-Wide chainring, and found that pretty much the only option for 94bcd...

Summertime is here, and the old Pomp was looking a bit beaten-up after winter. It was also in desperate need of a new BB, new freewheel and summer gearing (42x17T as opposed to the 39x17T I run through winter) and summer tyres (Panaracer Pasela 32mm). Plus, I'd elected to take any...

Pompinos are great fun. They're a bargain brand-new from On-One, so I dread to think how little you paid for it!

Re: Re: Now weigh your shoes...

That looks ace - I was always a bit miffed that mine didn't have Martyn's name or signature on it anywhere! Which fork comes with your CAAD 2?

32T front ring is ideal for the mixed-use I'm giving this - I have a 36T waiting in reserve, but I don't see it going on any time soon. Tyres are fantastic - I didn't expect hard biting snow/ice grip, I was chasing more of a fatbike-lite feel, which is what this has. The tread sheds snow...

Re: It's no fatbike, but it'll do. State of emergency here in New York, blizzard conditions all day. All non-emergency vehicles are banned from the roads until further notice.

SOLD

Re: That is fecking awesome. Love a Rock Lobster, and the 5-arm Campag chainset & black Exalith Mavics make it.
