Heh...good luck...thanks but was just curious.

Sorry for the thread res


Just threw on new (matching, this time around!) tires and a NOS 5502 crankset. I was thinking about getting new chainrings and realized that a new crank would be about the same cost :-P so there you go.

2002 Lemond Victoire.

Great bike. I would like to upgrade the crankset this year though.



Boat ride!

Decided to go for a white stem and post with black saddle, tape and hoods combination. I tried a black Thomson Masterpiece but didn't like the looks si now it's off to BCP to be painted in the same matt white color as the frame. Hope it returns from the painter soon but no hurry considering the weather overhere in Amsterdam.

Also got myself a new set of classic looking wheels for the upcoming early season kilometers: Record hubs, 32 DT comp spokes and Mavic Open Pro ceramics, with Vittoria Corse Evo-SC tires. Can't do much wrong on the cobbles with those...

@Timo - That's purrrrrttttyyy.

Here's my entry, freshly shod with Chris King R45s laced to DT RR465s:

BEAUTIFUL. It is the bike that I originally sought for, down to the color; except that I can't justify the price tag.

I thought the red Kings HS would look better, since you have red decals and hubs.

Thanks! I thought the silver headset would compliment the stainless spokes, D-A brakes and the silver Chris King BB. I'm not ruling a red headset out in the future. After all, both bike and rider are works-in-progress, no?

Very nice ivan..would like to see a pic from the side!

I built this Lynskey up last summer. What a smooth and comfortable ride. Negative G brakes, SRAM Force drivetrain and levers, Dura Ace wheels, Thomson Masterpiece post and stem, Specialized carbon bars.

^ Nice. Curious though, why the downward stem and giant stack of spacers? Why not cut the steerer, lose the spacers (or most of them at least) and use a stem angled to the position you want? Seems like at least 40mm of spacers, maybe more, which could be too much for the fork.

@Affixed - Love it!

Actually, I think it looks accentuated with the design of Affixed's (Thompson?) stem, but having a negative angle stem works in conjunction with the angle of the steerer to produce a horizontal orientation/reach of the stem body. Here is the similar effect with the ITM stem on my Litespeed:

You're right. I need to get around to doing that.

Because RACE BIKE!

@Affixed I love those DA hubs and wheels. Way sexy!

@WHOOOSH See below. Sorry, I forgot to remove my seat bag and light mounts before taking this photo...

Very sharp!!.. Also add points for the splitface block wall. From this point forward, no Ti bike should ever be pictured in front of a flimsy, ugly, white garage door!

I'm guilty of the garage door post... I like the clean background, so (LOL) here's some stucco:

I so dig DuraAce 7800! Love the clean lines. I just received all my parts for my next frame build, and it will be DA 7800. DA7900 just doesn't do it for me.

Guru Tantrik mock setup:

Yeah, for me 7900 goes better with modern carbon frames and 7800 looks good on steel, titanium or other frames with round tubes.

don't bother apologizing to WHOOOSSHIE.

Some nice looking bikes here.

Stucco is better than flimsy tin... Seven is on my Radar..Very nice and I agree on the Dura Ace...

Only half way but nice strike job on the wall....

Pretty, awesome. Not to get up in your biznass, but you seem to be a revolving door for cool unusual frames. Are you in the biz?
