Restomod with 10s Ultegra, Respaced rear chainstay, Reynolds Ouzo Pro, and some Oval concepts in the office... All the original vintage DA 7400 and seat/fork/tubs/wheels/shifters/pedals are safely tucked away.

not perfect, but not bad. i love these frames.

Thanks. I am in the process of putting together another bike right now so I can keep riding while I disassemble this frame and polish it. That should take care of the contrast between the polished titanium seatpost and the frame. Then I think a titanium stem will tie everything together nicely.

Cool! Since your bike is really a lynskey, I know Lynskey at one point sold the decal set along with the head badge for $45. I saw it on their old webpage which can be accessed here : www.lynskey.maycreate.com .

Here comes mine.
Lynskey Cooper with Mavic Cosmic SL

Dunno about Hot, but Huffy's look like they can handle their own out there. +1 for the balls on Posting a huffy on this thread, and another for making it work. Welcome to BF community Tonger and hope to see more of what these Huffy's can do.

I'm digging this. I would dig it even more with black bar tape.

Chapeau though.

fixed

I wish he'd have kept the original fork on there though.

This Lynskey even with the fiery flames seems half baked. Aero fork, aero seatpost, semi aero looking frame........ then you have non aero wheels that just dont go with the aero theme. Hot or Not? Its an "or" for now.

+1, bar tape doesnt quite cut it, black or white would look good IMO! Lynskeys always look great, but a nice set of wheels on a Lynskey is even sexier! Good job!

Finally........a BMC I like. Sweet bike.

They are Serrotta's badged as Huffys. The 7 Eleven team raced on them and were sponsored by Huffy. Very hot - although I prefer them with the original equipment.

I totally understand the originality sentiment, the carbon fork is visually jarring. I wanted to run relatively modern stuff to see how it would ride and lost a couple of # (21# to 19#) in the process. It's an actual team bike but I clearly don't have the legs of the guy it was made for, I need the 10s and compact rings. From an aesthetic point of view, I was thinking of painting the fork and using reproductions of the team decals, or having a threadless steel fork made (much more $) so that I could keep running the more modern drivetrain. It's a smooth ride although definitely on the quicker steering side. I've got the heavy original fork, Wolbers, and the original 7400 DA group all tucked away.

i dont blame you at all. the bike is being used, and the original parts are being "protected".

I had these for it, and yeah, the 808's gave me a li'll advantage my 404's nothing
The fork alone gives more and the seatpost more than you should imagen with
the turbulence between the tights, but yes. It looks better with a semi aero

That BMC is HAWT! Great looking frame, nice wheels, great components. Schweet!!

Thanks - Only recent change is that I dumped the Look Carbons for Speedplay Zero Ti pedals. It's a blast to crank on.

huh?:wtf:

"turbulence between the tights" ...What? :roflmao2:

lol typo :lol:
Thighs

But there again...In Norway...We usually wear thights ;)

What does the stem have to do with the drivetrain?

Lectron, You crack me up! Someone with a sense of humor:thumb:

Not a bf approved photo, but tell me what you think.

Bars and shifters are a little goofy for my taste and I'd go with a black saddle and bartape but otherwise this is a really nice bike. I love the colors, the wheels (albeit gaudy with the decals) actually work well with the bike, nice saddle/bar drop, etc.

Thanks for the compliment. One these days I'll get around to posting my Serotta Coeur d'Acier (more of a forrest vs. pea). I like green.
