'87 Trek 520 (stock components). Need to finish a total overhaul (bike was covered in 20 yrs. of corrosion and dirt) and buy some fenders, so that this can be my winter rider/commuter. I took my Geoffrey Butler for a spin on the lakefront path Sunday and came home with it covered in dirt and salt. Ouch.

3. 1984 Trek 400 - New saddle, greasing bearings, new cables
4. Early 1990's Lugged Giordana XL-Strada - just got new 3T seatpost and stem that need to be installed, looking for a "cheap" brooks saddle.

I'm flush.
Well..... I wanna put Cinelli bars on the Cinelli and the Palo Alto. Got the bars - actually, I've had them for a while now. I find myself unable to overcome the ennui. I just don't feel like working on bikes.

1. 1985+/- Gianni Motta Personal 2000. Stripped and ready for paint - but it'll probably be spring since I have to paint outside. I've found a place to straighten the front fork, but haven't shipped it to 'em yet. Still have a few 74xx components that I would like to have, but could complete the bike (in period) w/o them.
2. I won a new Vassago Fisticuff frame/fork in a raffle. Now I have to collect parts to complete it as a cross bike. The only thing I have so far are some canti's (in white). White Sante group perhaps?
3. Finish up a 2003 Trek 1000 that's just a resting spot for the components I've placed on it while waiting to purchase a real frame. All I need to do is mount a tire and swap out the front wheel.
4. My real project is to catalogue, photograph, and sell off the stuff I know I'm not going to use in the future.

1. Painted, need to fill in some pantos and apply decals. Have all the parts to build it up.
2. Bike is built up as an IGH, has been ridden in cross practice runs, but I have some ideas to change it up a bit.
3. Rode it for a season, now the f&f is sold. Components are on my Dardo.
4. Ha Ha, not even close to starting

79 Miyata Gran Touring- Parts are scattered all-over the house, and my arm is still sore from scrubbing on the wheels (But, it's getting there.)
82? Rossin Record- This is the sequel and more authentic build to my first build. (Just waiting for the 27.0 seat post and should be done. The translucent white Benotto tape is amazing. It's the first time I've used it.)
86 C'dale R400- I've almost completed the paint removal and then to the PC'er. (This is a long term project.)
90? Mongoose Maneuver MTB- I picked this up on a whim from the junkyard for $7. Most of it is soaking in a OA bath. We'll see what happens.

84 Fuji T III Needs paint. Probably paint it more in T V colors (Emerald metallic with gold head tube).
The Raleigh that's not a Raleigh is my Contructeur build. VO fenders, Rear rack here. needs paint.
93 Bridgestone XO-2 I picked up for the wife is in the parts collecting phase. Paint is a little messed up. Still trying to decide where to go.
84 Trek 420. My beater that I have fallen in love with. It needs paint but I sort of dig the weal used look. It will get the fenders off the Raleigh eventually

1. Continue rebuilding the dumpy duplex we bought in February. Next step is fixing all the holes in the ceilings (3' by 4' or so), then repairing exterior siding and repainting (just finished removing all of the crap aluminum siding). Then I need to run power to the detached garage so I can use it. Figure this to be a 2 year project.
2. Finish my DA STI install on my personal Prologue.
3. Convert tri Quintana Roo bike that I picked up Monday to more of a road orientation (drop bars, STI, easier gearing, etc), and see how it rides (also DA STI). Got to just use stuff on hand, as it could go right back out to a new home.
4. Build up a bike with modern components from the bin for an anxious customer. Figure out what frame, price, and get a deposit THIS TIME!!

Shinjiboy just dug up this 2 year old thread... I think since it's back on page 1, everyone who posted their projects needs to edit their posts to say if they ever actually finished them. I bet that nobody has finished all four of the projects they listed.

Bikes: too many or not enough
73 Gitane Super Corsa Pro - stripped with new soda blasting system, will paint, apply decals and clearcoat when weather is nicer, then build. I think I have all the parts I need.
60s? Raphael Geminiani Special - major work needed. Needs to be stripped and OA bathed, chrome is shot so needs to be removed and painted or rechromed. Then need to find 60s French parts.
70s Motobecane Grand Record - need to strip, paint and build up.
also sell a number of bikes this spring/summer, herd is getting way too big (and signature too long)
