Help me choose my next build... ??
Ok... sooo I am just finishing off several builds for my collection and I am looking for another frame... any suggestions??? based on what I have are there any unique brands out there that you think I may like??
I would like to build up another Single speed, but I want a road style frame so that in the future I have the option to convert back to a geared road bike...
here's what I have...
1. 1988 Pinarello Montello (full Dura Ace 7800)
2. 1981 Rossin Super Record (Campy NR and SR mix)
3. 1987 Bianchi Trofeo (mix of Campy SR and Dura Ace)
4. 1980's Cambio Rino (Single speed w/ Full campy)
5. 1980's Bianchi (Single speed w/ full dura ace 7400)
6. 1980's Miele Road Issue (full shimano 600... this is my 'beater' bike)

French, English, Dutch, Japanese, American (don't know Cambio Rino) would all do.
I vote Austro Daimler with Huret components.

I'll be watching closely for Kvales as well and I'd love a Nobilette frameset some day.
I'll post pics of my Richard Sachs cyclcross frameset I recently picked up in the next few days.
Raced locally for the last five years, it is ready for a refinish!
Super sweet though, can't go wrong.

Try using some of the names listed in the thread and you'll find thousands of images.
You could follow my signature link as well, as I have some of my bicycles' pics accessible to the public.
Help yourself.
