Oooooh, I'd like to see that one. Champagne and red?

Frejus, no blue and white, early 60s...

I have three projects ongoing that need attention:

* My 1995 Cinelli Strada is 95% complete, just need to ream for the
correct seatpost size, and minor touch up paint, and get the correct seatpost
* My 1969 Paramount needs a bottom bracket, install cranks and chain
* My Robert Stowe is headed to the paint shhop by year, need to build wheels
need a vintage stem, and a front der - don't know what I'll do about decals

Been on the road working for the last 9 weeks so most of the projects have sat,
need a couple more jobs towards first of the year then hope to ride the northern tier still need to find a partner for the trip.

'89 Miyata 1400 project....down to frame (not paint) clean and build it up with 9 spd ultegra triple. Want to do STI shifters, but am trying barcons (cheap side just can't deal with cost and uncertainty of used) Finish my forever wheel rebuild. Will keep original stem, handlebars, post and brakes (but am tempted to move to dual pivot) and ride more.

I have a custom build on the way from Carl Strong which I expect to get in my hands in March, so that will be one thing.

And,

i bought another Merckx (#6) last night. A NOS Corsa Extra, so i will build that up, not sure with what, yet.

Then I have to decide what, in the list below, has to go.

I'll take those apart and sell them and have a sad farewell for each.

I was going to wait for the new year, but went ahead and cancelled my Pegoretti last week.

What size is that Corsa Extra 7-11?

Motobecane Gran Jubile needs to be refurbished.

Nishiki Kokusai needs to be used in combo with the 5 speed sturmey archer hub I got maybe.

Nice Trek 930 tru-temper frame needs to be made into a kickass mtb.

Good, I was afraid you'd sell it and it would fit me!

My Trek 520 is going to be rebuilt. I'll probably build it up as a road bike and give it back to my sister. I had originally built it up as a touring bike but it was a bit too small for me.

I also have a Pinarello Montello frame. It's a beauty and deserves to be built up with the finest components. Trouble is that it's a bit small as well but I might do it anyway just to see it complete.

My 69cm Romic.... which if any of you remember the pictures, is in need of some serious work (i am not posting anymore pictures untill I can show a before and after hehe). I give it 3 months till I can round up the last parts I still need (Noodle bars, Bar-con's, fenders, lights, canti brakes) ... but we will see how long Bilenky needs.

I still look foward to seeing that one.

Change of plans!! .... scrap all of the above ..... and check the for sale section soon....

Quit holding out on us. What did you get?

Another Proteus! For only $400! In his size .

Lucky dog...

Check out the "craigslist" thread sticky at the top of the page

Aside from the well overdue 1972 chrome Paramount build with the honey and gold theme, my biggest project is to clear out the garage of all the extra bikes in there. I count about a dozen of them plus some folding thing. There's a Windsor, Pug PKN10E, Trek Elance 400, Motobecane Jubilee Sport, Schwinn Super Sport, Schwinn Tempo, a couple mixtes, etc. The spring semester is starting soon, so Craigslist will be my friend hopefully.....

The big one: repainting my Mariposa, and maybe getting some parts... Hoping for some decent cartridge wheels, centrepulls (though I have some Mafac Racers that may do the trick), and getting the generator going.

Other stuff:
-Bianchi frankenbike flatbar commuter... just needs wheels.
-wheels for the Pogliaghi trackie
-Maybe, just maybe a proper fork for the Nobilette cx bike... there's a kinesis aluminum monstrosity on there now, and I'd like Mr Nobilette to build me a new one. Not cheap, but I wants.

I am really looking forward to my dream bike - the one I have always wanted and finally got! A Gloria Garibaldina with Cambio Corsa. It needs paint but have most of the equipment apart from a period correct stem and saddle. Going to take my time with this one and savor it!

Sounds sweet. I really look forward to this one too. Will it have the ultra cool nickel plating? As for the stem, I'm doing this deal where I'm going to have an extra period correct AVA or GB stem. They are obviously not Italian and may not be the correct diameter for your bars, but PM me if you have any interest.

• 1978 Raleigh Team Pro 753 to complete. Needs markings, proper cranks, and proper seatpost
• 1970 Gitane Super Corsa needs refinish, markings, and polish components.
• Decide what to do with the blue LeJeune Champ du Monde frameset.
• At least three sets of wheels to build.

I finally saw it. Nice score.

For the 1st time in years I don't have any major projects. Just minor improvements to the bikes I have, make a few custom stems and bag supports etc.

1. Get rid of some bikes that rarely get ridden.
2. Ride the ones I keep more often.
3. Convert my Super Course MkII to a single speed, just to see what all the fuss is about. Then it'll be ready to go whenever the new 3 speed fixed ASC becomes available from Sturmey/SunRace.

1. clean the garage! (this will take some time)
2. buy missing components for Merckx Corsa build (starting from a frame)
to buy:
phil hubs
mavic rims
brooks team pro
seat post
brakes (maybe I'll just you my 105 brakes and levers)
bar end shifters (surprisingly expensive)
and other misc items that make the wheels spin round and round
3. stop picking up bikes at yard sales
4. get rid of old frames (55c specialized sirrus and 57c Trek 400)
5. get very small cannondale working
6. dream about riding/building a 29er
