Bikes: Focus trash find commuter, Eddy Merckx Corsa, BP Stealth TT bike, Leader 720 TT bike, Boardman Comp Hybrid drop bar conversion, Quantec CX budget cyclocross build, SerottaNOS frameset ready to build up!

Definitely not C&V, but done on a limited budget (like all my builds), so kind of in the ´spirit´of C&V.

The previous owner sold just the Gruppo and traded me the frame. So I stripped the battered decals, polished, put on a carbon fork and 2012 decal set.

Drivetrain is SRAM Rival with and SKS Isis BB / FSA crank.

The alu fork was swapped out for a cheap carbon one.

All up I have €350 in the bike, including the Felt TTR3 wheelset.

Before:



After:



Again, apologies for the non C&V content. But here is ´home´to me, and you guys got me into wrenching on bikes, and hey, the frame´s from 2004, so at least it ain´t NEW.



Super ride.
