Show us your steel.....its real...

Some really nice stuff.......... the Giant is "IN YOUR FACE".... heh heh..............

PPS I assume the 'Giant' isn't a European bike - looks steel - plus house construction and 'sun' - US ? The kit pre-dates my bikes...be interesting to know when built......... as Giant were not around much in the very early 90's in UK....

Nothing special, but worth a photographic pat on the back just for making it through to the 21st century in one piece - Carlton Cyclone, very late seventies or early eighties at a guess. I've just finished putting it back together.

This is the latest flower powered steel bike soon to be upgraded to winter flowering pansy, trailing lobelia and climbing jasmine with some yellow flowering jasmine.

Hey guys,

Nice bikes. I have just joined the steel frame society with a fairly standard Stan Pike frame. Campag daytona groupo (triple speed rear derrailleur ) and chorus shifters. I love the bike, it's custom built but fits me like a glove.

I have no idea who stan pike was (yes i've seen the rendezvous forum's chat on him) and the decal is unlike any of the stan pike one's i've seen online. Look too at the seatstay joins by the seatpin collar, that's unlike other stan pike frames, although the lugs are typical for him. 300, was it worth it?

Gatorskins, daytona hubs, open pro wheels, cinelli stem and bars, daytona headset and selle italia ti seat (ideal for my new lynskey!)









What do you think?

My heavily modified Genesis Croix de Fer all that remains now is the frame and the forks, after what seems like months the bike rebuild project is finished! So here is the obligatory bicycle in the kitchen photo...



My thanks to Scook94 for the frame, the forks and the bottom bracket, and Mrs HJ's cousin for his help with the build.

I love 80's Peugeots. Did you see the brand's getting re-launched?

Here's my Viking Superstar 12, recently pulled out of a thirty year slumber in a (very effective) shed in Blackburn:

1982 Raleigh Clubman was due to be skipped. Just needed a new chain.

As found - a 1987 / 88 Raleigh Super Equipe. 2 of them were in a skip, but only had room for one. Used as a daily hack and now done about 20K miles.

I had one of those, mine cost £20 though - gave the frame to Wigsie, wonder what happened to it, wonder what happened to him?

Nice bike though!
