Very nice, been thinking of one myself to replace my current (heavy) Kentex.
That is what I thought when I saw it. The axel has also been converted no it's 2 wheel drive and can accept modern cassettes. This was the reason I jumped on it, the conversion over 300 by itself.

I like that Aende a lot! Interesting to see it has canti brakes rather than calipers - was it a light touring model (the triple crankset would also suggest this)? A light tourer classic steel framed bike is about as good as it gets for me

Go on then... Currently lean and mean with folding 23 mm tyres in black, and bar tape back to black too. Probably my favourite setup to-day.
That's a gorgeous looking bike @Cyclist33

Only just seen this, I was leading a ride many years ago from the Mildenhall Rally and George and his wife [I thought it was his daughter at first!] was present on a trike very similar to yours. I remember him cursing as he followed me down a hill with a sharp bend which they nearly didn't get round, but on the same ride he remarked that he was having a "magic moment", presumably because the sun was shining and we were tootling along with the wind behind on a lovely country lane.
The other occasion, again at the rally was when we "borrowed" a demonstration tandem 2 wheeled recumbent where the stoker [me] faced backwards while George steered very odd, but we had a lot of fun and kept it for too long. Sadly George died the following year, it was a privilege to know him.
Look after it, they don't come any better.

I finallly built up the Rourke from a few pages ago and have just been for his first shakedown. Meet Brian, he's got more spangly silverness than Freddie Mercury in his pomp. And he is rapid, super tight wheel clearances, the25's just fit at the back and wont take bigger. I wanted full silver 32 spoke wheels but couldnt afford it just yet, so just got some de-stickered Vento's for now but still looks pretty badass. I'm waiting for some new cycle shoes so white Look spd-sl's will be going on soon. It changes direction like a Tron bike, even with the noodly quill stem. Much less flex than my Columbus SL Denti, dont think its 531,quite a bit lighter than the SLX Simoncini, may even be 853. And crikey he's bloody hansome. Rubbish photo still not captured the sparkle, but I'm well pleased with it and hope to put some serious miles on it this week on one of the less scorchio days.

Nice, agree with you about the silver wheels but I'd be tempted to use single sided Shimano SPD pedals like these

I've got some of those on my single speed. Good pedals but I have a stack of Look's to try and as its a full Campag build my inner tart could'nt bring myself to shod it with Japanese hooves.

Good luck with the 'Bambi on ice' impersonations.I've got some of those on my single speed. Good pedals but I have a stack of Look's to try and as its a full Campag build my inner tart could'nt bring myself to shod it with Japanese hooves.
My 653 TT frame (unknown builder, no serial No. or badges/decals) was built up all Campagnolo when I did it but I still put a pair of those on.
