How do you have the patience to take pictures of everything before getting them on the bike???? I can't wait to see the final product.

And that frame certainly deserves 7400 goodies :thumb:

Great looking bike. That "one key release" on the spindle caught my eye too, I didn't know they did that.

I have one of those that came with a 600 crank. I don't know why they felt that they needed to do that. It's an otherwise ordinary spindle.

I have another set or two if needed. :)

Nice bicycle!

Hoping to wrap it up soon...can't wait for the "finished" pics, and a spin around the block.

Finally finished the build...(99.5% anyway...why don't the rolls of cloth bar tape come long enough to do both sides?)

I'm dying to post a few pics, but the ocd won't let me until I completely finish the bars.


Did get a chance to weigh it though...21 lbs. Is that ok for a vintage road bike?


Hopefully the other roll of tape will get here quick.

Took it out for a shakedown/fit ride around the neighborhood this morning and couldn't resist snapping a few pics.

Really felt nice. Still needs a few adjustments, (and probably a rewrap), but I'm really happy with it so far.

Love it!

Beautiful ECS. I think the saddle is taking away from it. Unfortunately, the only white one I have I put on Tat's Davidson a few months ago. How does it fit? Also dug out my RC's will take pics for you.

eastcoaststeve 05-11-14 08:58 PM

Kev, glad you liked it. I'm looking forward to putting lots of miles on it.


Tim, yeah, it's nice to look at. You think I'd be better with a black saddle, or maybe hitting the white Turbo with some white shoe polish? Need to work on my bar wrap technique a bit, but it works for now.
RC pics would be cool.


Cheers,
Steve

So Hot, I have been searching for a large Wojcik for some time. Enjoy that baby!

( I sound so critical here don't I) :(


If you're interested Steve, I have a well used Brooks Professional with Copper rivets that would look nice on the Wojcik. Or, a Regal just a little better (not much) than what you currently have mounted.

Either are yours for free if interested. Just let me know. Can send pictures as well...

Pretty bike Steve! Arabesque and pink, that's a great combo.
