Please see link. So very lazy of me, I know. Anyone with any ideas on builder? Would appreciate it greatly.
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/1223494-another-frame-id-thread-last-one-i-swear.html Pics can be seen here. Thanks in advance. |
No idea on the builder but the overall workmanship is very good. The thinned lugs and clean shorelines are representative of someone with a high level of skill. The cutout in the bottom bracket seems to be a perfect match for the Columbus Dove, so I have to presume it is of their manufacture.

I don't know but I like it. The Bird is the word but I am super curious with the Reynolds 531 sticker. I wonder if it is a mix or some builder having a larf or something?

Lazy
Sorry I was lazy and didn't post pics. Almost done. Overhauled headset. New BB. Repurposed crankset. Still need to reglue tubs, and see if I like them enough to invest in some new/better quality. With the amount I have in my stable, that is not an immediate concern not priority. Literally have 4 more bikes to rehab/overhaul/build. **** gets expensive quick.
Also looking for a brake option, and saddle choice. Any ideas for saddle? Something Italian preferably, bit not too modern but not too dated? Oh, and pedals/toe clips likely. Gold or silver chain? Thinking gold! https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a7f268e015.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...465b6855e4.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...e2503a32be.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6ca7044f2f.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...bfe0bd4ba9.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6d30d430c3.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c06d36ea31.jpg |
I personally would go for a Turbo saddle in black, with black bar tape and gold chain. As for the brake I think you'll have to go with one of those Keirin brakes that bolt on to the fork leg.

Posted this in another thread, but oh what the hell: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...1c00ddee42.jpg Not done. Needs tubulars, and a different front brake option. Not thrilled at the expense, but oh well. Want to get it done for summer so I can get some miles in on it. Also have some other projects simmering as well. |
Have you ridden around the neighborhood yet

Willing to accept any tan wall tubular donations though! Will update when I get tubs. |
