Can I see pictures of your neo Retro builds

you know.. kind of reminds me of the logic going on behind the Dyna Drive Shimano pedals. It placed the foot below the spindle of the pedal.
 
Late 60s Woodrup racing frame.

Nitto Randonneur bars with Brooks tape
Velo rims with Panaracer tyres
Gran Compe hub front, rear now has a Sturmey 2-speed
Dia Compe centre pull Weinmann style brake.
Andel crankset
Some old stem I found and spent way too long polishing
Charge saddle
Half link chain.

Lovely ride, if a little heavy thanks to the Sturmey.

Both them Cinelli and Vitus have got it. Superb. Nobs' Tt is mere tumbleweeds........... :)

At the risk of hijacking the thread for a bit.... ?

Tref, is that not so much a 'Fior' as a Fiori? Is that a neo Retro Fiori 'Amalfi'? I know they did some others in a similar colour tho not seen the chroming so far up the stays?

Columbus SL, Gipiemme drops and bridge, RGF 68mm Italian threaded bb , double tapered seat stays and non-stamped fully chromed panto'd fork, cut out bocama(?) lugs top and down tube? Any similarities with this 84-85 Fiori Amalfi?:



 
Now it's finished I finally managed to take a picture of mine in daylight when it isn't raining.
1986 SBDU Raleigh with all 2014 components.
Frameset has already had a couple of owners on this forum, I'm the latest custodian.
Not had a chance to go for a test ride yet.

nice one 'chipper' i was wondering if a cinelli would pop up here sometime. looks like you got a aero style to go with it !
 
m m there does seem to be a craze/fashion thing in london and perhaps other countries at the mo
to get an old frame, convert to single speed and add deepish wheel rims whilst maintaining the originality of the frame.
i would like to do this one day but like this one...front brake at least. :)
 
Oh and my old Raleigh Elan, which I wish I never sold, I put black conti GP4000S' on it shortly after this, was an awesome bike to ride.
