Hello everyone.

I just found this forum through a friend of mine here in Gothenburg, Sweden. I'm 28 years and I have recently started to build my own bicycles under the name KOMET.

My other bikes are:
ALAN Nuevo Record equipped road bike from 1979
Diamond Back Axis 1994 mountain bike
Titanium Miyata road bike from early 90:s under reconstruction with delta brakes, carbon forks etc.
Peugeot OU8 road bike 1975
Raleigh Sport 5 speed 1960? Currently single speed.
Motobecane road frame in Columbus SL under reconstruction, removing cable guides, changing to track rear ends etc.

Greatings from Jonatan Sahlin, Sweden

Picture is from the first Komets maiden voyage. Outside Steninge, Halland, southern Sweden.

Welcome Jonatan! I believe you'll need to post more pics of the Komet as well as the specs. It's a requirement that all new users post lots of bike porn, especially if they made the bike themselves.

Okay, here it comes:

Columbus SLX tubing and drop outs with Long Shen lugs, BB shell and fork crown.

Campagnolo Chorus 9 speed rear derailleur and hub
Campagnolo Veloce front derailleur
Campa Record bar end shifters
Schmidt front hub
Sapim Race spokes and Ambrosio Evolution rims
Paul Racer brakes with Dia Compe levers
Nitto stem and Phillippe Randonneur bars
CLB Aero seat post and B17 CS saddle
TA Alize cranks
Stronglight bottom bracket and headset
Canyon mudguards
Komet saddle bag
Komet rear rack

Pretty much my dream Audax-, Light Touring-bike

I havent been building for very long. I'm currently working on the second bike. Started the first about a year ago. But I've been into bicycles since i was like thirteen or so.

Very nice looking frame. Workmanship looks great from the pictures you posted. We have a forum specifically for frame builders which I'm sure you'll find. Welcome to BikeForums!
