    S-Works Steel project

    No code unfortunately, the old wizard at the automotive paint shop matched it by eye off the frame then made up the colour himself

    S-Works Steel project

    This is where it is currently sitting. Need to get a cable set for it and finish cleaning up the rest of the XT group set for it. I am trying to stick with a pretty reserved grey, silver and Ti palette for this one. Grey Oury grips, Ti bar, and grey Pulstar hubs are a nice match as well...

    S-Works Steel project

    Always good to start a new project while you still have unfinished ones. A few months ago, I picked up this 1994 (I think?) S Works steel frame from a friend. Unfortunately, the original steel fork is long gone, and it was running an old suspension fork. Luckily, it still had the lovely...

    Wanted Grey Flite saddle

    Bump - still hunting. Found a photo of one I sold 14 years ago! Damn it. My S Works project really needs one...

    Show us your Specialized

    New project for me. 1995 (?) S Works steel. Lovely old Ti stem and bars. I’ve still got a few bits to sort and collect for it. Will chuck up a build thread once I am a bit further along with it.

    1990 Cannondale SM700 rebuild

    Thanks for all the positive feedback! Parts wise I’ve been slowly collecting and cleaning up M730/735 XT parts. Still a few bits to locate but nearly there.

    Wanted Grey Flite saddle

    Hi all, I am after a grey Flite saddle for a project. Perforated or the standard leather is fine. Thought I’d ask on here before I have a go at recovering one and wrecking it! I am located in New Zealand so international postage would be needed. Thank you!

    1990 Cannondale SM700 rebuild

    I installed the new decal set from Retro Decals this morning. Now I need to build up the courage to clear coat it all!

    1990 Cannondale SM700 rebuild

    Last weekend, I built up my courage and had a go at redoing the splatter paint. Turned out to be loads of fun, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I had a friend’s frame as a bit of a reference. Probably went a bit heavy on the fork, but I like it. In the end I found a kitchen fork and a...

    1990 Cannondale SM700 rebuild

    I stripped the frame with paint stripper then gave it a light sand blast to help the paint key into it, gave it a coat of etch primer, and then a couple of coats of gloss black. Not a pro job, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

    1990 Cannondale SM700 rebuild

    I picked up this 1990 Cannondale SM700 a couple of years ago. It was pretty rough and well-used. Not much of the original groupset remained, and the previous owner had upgraded it over the years. Some serious Cannondale quick-release paint on this one! Also cool that it was optioned with the...

    Klein Attitude build

    Swapped out the tan Smoke/Darts for an all black set. I am into it! Makes the paint pop even more.

    Klein Attitude build

    A few good rides on the Klein last couple of months. Love this bike. My buddy Sunny got a few shots of it and me on a recent group ride in Auckland.

    Klein Attitude build

    All done, rides so damn well. M900 shifting like a dream, and the ceramic pads and rims pull up great. Still some minor tweaks I want to do. Nicer seatpost collar and possibly some all black smoke and darts, but that can wait for a while.

    Klein Attitude build

    M900 groupset except for the wheelset and seat post, which I have an old Syncros to use. The new spindle and bearing arrived courtesy of KleinPainted.com. It was a lightning fast delivery to New Zealand, so I'm very happy! I'm pretty fortunate to have a local guru, Dave, who used to sell...

    Klein Attitude build

    Test-fitted a set of Mavic Crossmax ceramic wheels. Slightly different era to the build, but I like them. Lovely wheelset and very light.

    Klein Attitude build

    A few months later I got the bike sent up with some extra goodies. Stripped it down and gave it a good clean and polish. The old paint still has a great shine to it. A few chips and chain suck on it and the pink has lost a bit of its brightness and has some sun tanning, but over all I am...

    Klein Attitude build

    A friend spotted this Klein a couple of years ago and connected me with the owner. A year or so later, it was mine! It was semi-complete, but had incorrect spindle length for the M900 cranks and a single-speed set-up on the rear. A mix of XT wheelset, brakes and seatpost, the rest of it was...
