mechanical brakes man that thing is rad

There was a Tommasini frame just like that at the TTown swap, if I remember correctly. Gorgeous.

Dude, your wheel is JAMMED in there...

Mechanical connection brake- look how it goes down the tubes to the u-shaped thing which pressed against the rear tire. Must have been hell on tires.

I love that saddle.

Mmmm, fagpaper clearance. Gorgeous bike

the camera angle isn't head on so there could be a bit of an illusion going on here...still super tight clearances..

frame looks way too small to begin with not to mention the sloping tt... am i wrong here?

better hope the cops don't conficate this one..

what's your point? have you looked at any of the other poor fit choices in this forum? are you the least bit surprised?

you're like the poor man's dutret. just give it up buddy.

:bday: :love:

How can you ride that thing (and all you others with extreme angles)!? And brake-less too. I would have crashed so many times if it weren't for my trusty front break. (EDIT: makes me feel better about my smallish frame)

It looks good though.

nevermind, dutret would of had a comeback. poor form my friend.

it is really close ...approximately .4mm, just enough to let light through...

the "virtual top tube" is around 53cm. when riding with
bullhorns its not really a stretch and is more comfortable
than i had though it would be …although my back is pretty
much horitzontal. with the risers however, its very
comfortable for me.

I've never had a wheel within 1 mm roundness. Kudos to you for finding a superbe wheel builder!

…well if i pump it up to 8.5 bar (max) it touches on a couple of places.
i keep it at 7.5 bar and its ok.

My very first SS build! From a '74 raleigh supercourse frame stripped and powdercoated red. Mosty using used parts found or given to me.

Love the Raleigh!! Good work!!

Good looking conversion, but I'm already puzzled why people
only use one lever, especially one with a hood and everything.
A dummy lever would add another, more comfortable hand
position.

what gear ratio is that bike?

52/18

Its a pretty bizzare mix of parts... I did the best I could with parts I found/had/were given to me...
But overall I'm pretty proud of my first conversion, espeically after spending only one month and $70 on it.

wait what!? how much was the powdercoating?

I took some pictures of my bikes/new builds so I figured I would post them up...enjoy
