pics of bikes you built yourself
 

from the frame up...

Not clear. Do you mean built the frame too or starting with a built frame?

2007 Cdale Caad 9
 

Took a month to build and love it.

Here are some:

My first build and first road bike. It's a 2002 Trek 2000

As purchased for $100 from Craigslist:

After about $450 in parts from e-bay, amazon and LBS:

impressed by all the contributions...just thinking about routing and adjusting those cables gives me the fits :cry:

Hmmm, this fundamental question has yet to be answered, yet we're off and running. :lol:

I interpreted the title to mean "frame built too" . . . but apparently that's just me. :lol:

You'll love this one then.

Craigslist frame became a partsbin build. FD routed on the downtube, RD routed on the top tube, not a barrel adjuster in sight.

Was very pleased with myself with the cables ended up looking like this:

Made a good bit of coin as well as culled the bin on that one.

How about a work in progress? Here is an '88 Cannondale Crierium with a new set of Vuelta Corsa Lite's, frameset is being painted metallic black with all black components in a Black Lightning decal set.

Here's mine. Has since been sold, but was a fun experience.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=371432

My 41 Translator ™ kicks in automatically now. I always read "built" as "assembled", unless I'm in the Framebuilders forum.

I built this frame for racing a couple years after high school. Tange Prestige tubing, Henry James Lugs & fork crown. Wiegle painted it. Paint has suffered a bit in the last 30+ years, but it's hanging in there. Upgraded to a Campy 10 mish-mash.

And my modern budget race bike (I "assembled" it, but didn't build the frame) (about $1300):

I haven't bought a "new" bike since I was a kid.

Super sweet for a budget Cdale! )

56cm? I want first dibs on this frame if you ever decide to part with it. I freaking love that paint scheme!

54 :(

It's moot anyway, the bike was sold last fall to a gentleman in the Bay Area. I have a 59 with much worse, yet serviceable, paint I've picked up for myself.

Ah :/
One day I will find one in awesome shape in 56-58. What year is that paint scheme?

Lemond won the tour on the ADR team in 89, I think this color scheme was around for 90 and 91. Much like all the USPS liveried treks of the Armstrong years, bikes up and down the line had very similar paint. Mine was an aelle tubed frame, but there are SL and maybe even SLX tubed frames. The key to the upmarket frames is a chrome chainstay, and a chrome fork.

Here's what it looked like [different wheels] right before I boxed it up and shipped it across the country. Veloce 9s for those keeping track.

Had it fit me, I wouldn't have let it out of my sight.

Even though the upper end ones had chrome I kinda like the painted to match fork on yours.

Pulling the internally routed cables was definitely the hardest part putting together the P2.
