Donation from my dad, cro-mo Carrera Vanquish, Shimano RSX groupset. Not a bad ride. It looked a bit muckier than this after the route tiermat took us along the Swale..

Nice, I like the bars very much.

[PaulF]

Thanks I'm very happy with the bars too, very comfortable. I can spend longer on the drops than any other bars I've had and they still give a good range of positions.

I never get sick of seeing pictures of that bike.  In fact the only picture I don't want to see is one of it after a stack....

This is an interim carnation of my Long Haul Trucker which I finished last night.  I'm assessing stem length etc.

 

Very stable ride on 32s. It's nice to be looking where you're going, and no loss of overall average speed for a sturdier machine.

This is now my one stop bike for all bike jobs apart from the Steamroller. Surly geek now I guess.

Interesting looking bike Bloomers, I look forward to seeing it in the flesh

At last...older residents may remember that I have been working on a project for some time. Here it is ready for the road in its Mk1a configuration with ninja deathstar style Campag Gran Turismo mech. Spot your bit!



And later this afternoon with more discrete Campag 980 mech. Mk1b.



Another view.



What it originally purported to be, a Witcomb. Actually the frame is a Viscount, probably a Victor with lugged head tube. With Roberts forks, and generally built up with objets trouvés, objets scroungés and objets EBays. It's turned out better than I had hoped - it's a cracking little bike! I'll run it round for the rest of the summer and get it well sorted then address the cosmetic issues during the winter. I am very chuffed with it!

(I'll put up some bigger pics once I work out how do do it)

I can't work out how to post bigger pictures than those posted earlier (any tips on this?) so in the meantime, link to pics of Viscount project bike above. More later as it develops further.

Many thanks Ham! I'll give it another go!

Ah-ha! But without clicking on insert image! Gottit!

So, project in Mk1A config with Campag Gran Turismo rear mech, I had difficulty keeping this in adjustment so have changed it for a 980.

What else...Frame is Viscount Aerospace (probably Victor with lugged headtube) Roberts road forks, Mavic 700 rims on original high flange hubs (with wingnuts on front) with Vittoria Rubinos, Stronglight cranks, 5 speed Shimano freewheel from original bike. Weinmann 730 long reach calliper rear, 500 front, levers ex Raleigh Royal. Brooks B17N, Cinelli Criterium bars with Mavic stem ex Coventry Eagle as were the shorty mudguards. Dia Compe headset with home made electrical conduit spacer, MKS Sylvan track pedals. Err... that's it.

Hope to have the painting carried out by local powder coating company over the winter. Currently favouring a blue/grey/green 1950s Austin A35 look - or at least shade.

All done, now where shall I go?

Very nice!  Just about anywhere is the answer to your question.  Maybe take up where Deano left off?

Shame - that'd do well in India. I like the gold fittings.

I'm definitely getting a LHT (disc version) for my next bike.

[Oscar's dad]

Three cracking machines I'd happily own from bloomers, Andrij and Woofage - nice ones chaps.

Very nice, where did you get the seatpost and stem?
