Tim Gould's '93 Newnham Schwinn (homage) FINISHED

[velofrog]

Re:

looks like a SCOTT bottle cage for sure, and seems all the lug work is done in black, you can make it out on the head tube, which would make sense as the rear end is black to the BB and the seat stay junction

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build

Yep, definitely highlited lugs. Below are some scanned pics I took when I hung-out with basically the whole UK elite gang


Black Schwinn logo on the down and seat tubes. PDG on the front of the toptube (Paramount Design Group), Shimano at the rear. SRP on the downtube close to the BB

I think that's Tim's bike in the top pic on the left, but I can't see what stem it is - Ritchey perhaps...

The Cindercone and Bear Valley in the lower pic are mine and my mate John's - rubbing shoulders with Kloser's Schwinn and Frischnect's Ritchey


You can see the black lugs on Mike's bike below - and now I see that it is a Scott Team bottle.

I also vaguely recognise that dapper young chap in the denim cut-offs checking Mike out

Re:

That's a Ritchey Force stem.

BTW I seem to remember that competition you won.

Do you remember the month they ran the ad as I have a large stash of mags to hand and could scan it.

Re:

This is what RetroBIKE needs more of!

An interesting old bike related thread, where folk gather their knowledge and help one another!

Also nice to see my Scott Pro Racing isn't too far off the mark! Unishock apart !

Bloody hell, I can see 7 of them in that photo! Pity they put the grips on the wrong way around on the nearest one!

Re: Re:

I did have that mag (of course!), but sadly lost it in a house move.

However, Regan came to the rescue with a scan. Thanks for offering though

They missed out my mate's name. It should say "Alec and John discussed..."

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build

Looking forward to more of this! Tim Gould's 'Circle of Power' was my overriding memory of racing back then, top man.

Can you scan it and post here? That would help a lot.
