That is a fixie. Not a cyclocross bike.

Perfect thread for me. I just finished this yesterday (well, temporarily until I get a new stem and brake pads) My first cross race is Saturday so I've been working on throwing something together. It's an 84 Trek 520, running 1x8. Thought the sport touring geometry would work well, but I took it out yesterday and had some toe/front wheel overlap issues. Hopefully it won't effect me too much in the race this weekend.

basically a repost...

I saw it in a cyclocross race, which IMO makes it more of a cyclocross bike than probably half the so-called cyclocross bikes on this forum.

dude, hosteller, how many times are you going to post your bike?

Is that really necessary? perhaps you should just accept that the internet doesn't think your bike is as cool as you think it is.

Will be ready to race by the last race of the season

We definitely need to rid Bike Forums of all these people who overindulge in posting pictures of their bikes. Luckily, I've only posted mine in three or four threads, so I'm good to show a few more pics (http://www.flickr.com/photos/26382505@N08/sets/72157622131473958/) of it here. ;)

Technically, only the frame and brakes are vintage.

the tank of which i have spoken...

will become the mutantcross commuter/utility as soon as i build a true cx ride that will be somewhat competitive. but this thing has been more fun than my mtbike lately! looking forward to Spring Mount on sunday...

Nice bike, you need to get that dent in the TT fixed though. Waterord lowers their rates in the winter on paint and repairs. If not call Jack Franklin of Franklin Frame in the Columbus OH area. http://home.windstream.net/franklinframe/

He did my Waterford, one of them actually. This is a 1995 Waterford 1200

is that the original headset/stem on the waterford? or an adapter? looks clean and strong

Those Waterfords are beautiful. Nice job. +1 on the headset and stem.

Maybe he's proud of his bike.

I got no problem with that, but come on.
He's made four separate threads in two different forums (both of which have dedicated "pics of your bike" threads) and just posted the same two pictures every time.
If you're proud of your bike, take a picture when you change something on it and post it in the appropriate thread. Don't just start threads reposting the same photo over and over again in the span of a week.

Thanks, yeah I thought about restoring the frame, but I think it would get too expensive. There is also a crimp on the seat tube from the Front derailleur clamp, and I cleaned out a bunch of rust flakes from inside the frame. Also rust is bubbling through the paint on the chainstays.

The frame was not taken care of by the original owner- but I got it for $50. I can't see the point in paying about $200 on a frame I paid $50 for which will likely fall apart due to the inner rust.

EDIT:

And the cost of a repaint on top of that...


yeah awesome stem btw.

Gotta love the Lions' colors on that Waterford too!

yes, I represent.

I picked the bike up in 2006. It was a 1995 Team Mak bike built by Waterford. That's the original Stronglight headset. A lot of early Waterfords used Stronglights. They were big on Waterford built Paramounts. Seeing as this was an early production Waterford there's a lot of Paramount influence in its design.

I have a blue RSE-11 that looks like the other cross Waterford posted earlier. Mine is set up like a touring bike now. I'd like to set it up more like a cross bike though.

Dr Deltron on who posts on the vintage forums has some kind of trick for fixing dents in frames. Yours might not be as bad as you think.

Ok here is an updated picture of the bike for the forum police. Post bike pics not bull$%^&. I posted more than you would have liked. Deal with it. What is the point you are trying to make. The bike isn't really that cool. I never said it was. I found it in a field covered in rust. It is a no name lugged steel bicycle. I am just trying to see who else has done the same thing. I like vintage. I like to see things others have done. That is why I started this new post. If you are irritated don't reply on this thread. There are many others you can waste your time on. If you like what is on here follow it and enjoy the pictures I hope people post.

Here are the updates:

Bontrager saddle
Crank brother pedals
Weinmann levers
Dia Comp rear brake
39t ring previous pic showed a 42
SR Stem and Wider bars

Here is my ~2000 Fuji Cross.

Here are the updates:

Did you have the bars wrapped on Sunday? I could have sworn I saw them as bare chrome.

is that the original headset/stem on the waterford? or an adapter? looks clean and strong

I can't speak for the headset, but that is a Cinelli Frog stem. I believe they're from the late nineties or the early 2000's. They look great.

Yeah they were wrapped Sunday.

Very nice Fuji.

why does this guy like posting his bike so much?

His new picture is just the same picture but taken indoors.

He can't even figure out how to embed the picture..cmon its like this:
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_p0vlnm5uqQw/Su8ggbIQgQI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/6SknAZeI9EE/s800/IMG_1450.JPG
See! I can repost my pictures too but I actually force people to look at them

Wow. Another forum hero. I am glad that my posts bother you as well. I am starting to get quite a following of jackasses. The new picture actually isn't the same at all. Unlike the one you have been posting on everyone's threads. Nice cross bike I love the tire choice. Links don't take up any space on the forum. But nice point I guess. You are just that much cooler than me. I am glad you pointed that out.

singlespeeders always bring the hate...

;)i thought this kind of intolerance/impatience was a roadie or mtbike thing (of course, i am spliced mtb/roadie DNA gone mutantcross:thumb:)? since i don't visit too many other subforums, i don't mind seeing what i haven't seen here. so it doesn't seem like too much. i wish i had a bike i was so excited about, i posted it several places!:cry:

seriously tho, always look at the join date of various hecklers/snipers/grumpies/trolls/etc...heck i am still a relative noob here, but...:rolleyes:

what size is that frame?

Just curious, if I take one of my old road bikes with center pull brakes and throw on some wide knobby tires does that make it a vintage cross?

Absolutely.

Do you plan to race cross with it?

"Post your vintage bikes that you race cyclocross with whether or not they are actual cyclocross bikes"

That title would end the controversies.

Already raced it last Sunday. Define a cyclocross bike.

What are you trying to find ways you're oppressed or something?

How many vintage cyclo cross specific bikes were there? I was always under the impression vintage cross bikes were just cobbled together.

Cyclocross specific bikes came after the sport was invented but mass-produced cyclocross bikes have been around since the 70s at least. I'm sure cyclocross specific bikes were being made earlier than that.

I don't know what there is to get offended about, you can race anything you want in a cyclocross race but that doesn't make that bike specifically a cyclocross bike. It's silly to pretend there's no such specific thing as cyclocross bike, of course there is. What's the big deal? You convert a vintage road bike into a cyclocross bike what you have is a cyclocross conversion, not a vintage cyclocross bike. A vintage cyclocross bike would be an Alan from the 70s or something like that because that was a bike built specifically for cyclocross.

I mean, if you put knobby tires on your raleigh 3-speed from the 60s and ride it in the mountains is that your vintage mountain bike? No, it's a conversion. Vintage mountain bikes don't start until mountain bikes built specifically as mountain bikes start.

I just want people to post some pics. Never thought my thread was going to turn into this. I guess I brought it on myself unintentionally.

it's not a problem at all and good to see some constructive (some...) comments along the way....like the one about vintage cross bike vs. vintage CONVERSION...which i think was actually a nice articulation of the original post idea. so it's all good. :thumb:

still, i rarely expect to see grumpy responses here like i have on the road and mtb areas...they ARE the Venn diagram through which i pedal, but i am starting to prefer the cx set up no matter how it is done. i think my return to full rigid mtbiking got me partly into appreciating the cx vibe

i just bought a new aluminum rim with quick release to replace my quite vintage steel one....a new seat alloy seatpost on order...my vintage 'conversion' ought to look sharp soon..i'll post pics when i can:D

jeez, sorry i brought anything up. all i meant to do was ask a little courtesy to those of us that do visit multiple subforums. i threw in a little snark there at the end because, what the hell, it's the ****ing internet. every other forum i've ever been to frowns on cross-posting (especially to the excess in this particular case), so i don't think i was being unreasonable.

post the same bike picture over and over. i don't really care. but try to care less when others get annoyed.



seriously tho, always look at the join date of various hecklers/snipers/grumpies/trolls/etc...heck i am still a relative noob here, but...:rolleyes:

ahem.

hey it really is nothing...there aren't enough 'emoticons' to get across any tongue in cheekiness here even on my part...

but anyways, you are right...getting annoyed at others' annoyance can be annoying!:innocent:

now on my end, heck, i am too lazy to post photos of my few bikes...i'll definitely amp it up soon (since i am altering the look of the bike i posted once here)...but of course, it will hardly be multiple times:p

anyways, onwards and cheers:love::crash:;)

So what do you call bikes raced on mountains before factory produced MTBs existed? They were racing Schwinns on MT Tam in the seventies years before Specialized put the Stumpjumper on the market. Cyclocross existed in the Forties yet factory bikes weren't seen until the Seventies. Early MTBs and Cross bikes share a lot in common in their early days.

Oh geez man, are you kidding me?

Listen, if you're all oppressed because when you put knobbies on your old bike someone will occasionally say something like 'well that's not a vintage cyclocross bike, that's a vintage bike you converted to use for cyclocross', then I'm sorry for you. Hell, I'm sorry for everyone around you.

Quit your squabblin' and look at this.

so many of you started crying while sharing their opinions.

Quit your squabblin' and look at this.

I would love to have this bike.

waaahhhh!

i would, too!:cry:

It's really too big for me. Make me an offer.
