[dave72]

hi i live in the south of england .in the early 90's i did 10,25,30 mile time trails with a local club but as worked later in the summer i didn't have the time to do it any more but i have always had a mountain bike.so now it's time to return to a road bike.i have been collecting bit a pieces over the last 3-4 months mostly all campag veloce .the frame is a 1992 alloy flanders it was abit tatty so i have resprayed the frame a slightly different blue and had the vinyls reproduced by a local sign writer.

Hello and welcome back to cycling nice looking bike BTW

 

[arallsopp]

Welcome back. See you went solid colour rather than fade on the rear triangle. Love the star on the seat tube. I can think of a few South England rides that would adopt this readily.

 

[dave72]

the colour is a pearlesent so it should look good in the sun. the star is the the company's logo heres a better shot

cheers dave

Looks really nice do u mind if I ask how much the final cost will be - thinking of doing something simalar

See you got the head tube badge sorted then Dave (I'm the guy you asked to get the pictures of my friends Flanders)

 

[dave72]

kinetic i posted in show your alloy thread in picture gallery i have credited you there for it. it's the least i could do
pedal pusher it would of been cheaper to by a complete bike but then again i can say that i built the bike myself and it how i want it . anyway the cost is about £400-£450 but i have campagnolo group set, carbon forks and seatpost
cheers dave
