Not much left to do. Install the brakes, wrap the bars with some cloth bar tape, find a frame pump and a nice saddle bag, a handle bar mounted water bottle and she'll be ready. Bar tape colors I'm thinking white.
Nice Color spud!!
*drool* That crank is a beautiful thing!
Thanks Gonzo, your new ride is looking awful sweet as well. I like the color scheme.
Moc, that's why I can't bring myself to put the chain guard back on I hate to hide that piece of art.
White tape will lok sharp. Clean lines. Take it that's a SS freewheel hub or did you go fixie and brakes to keep 'the man' from popping you?
Do I detect a second cog on the other side? Flip-flop hub? May be the camera angle and flange. I'm a fan of flip-flop hubs on the track for quick pit stop changes.
Should be a very stable ride. Have fun!
jpouchet not a fixie or a flip flop. I'll post a few more pics focused on the Cambio Corsa rear derailleur.
Thanks!
That's very cool Spud.
Bit of history here:
OC this bike was going to be sent to the landfill. Glad I was able to rescue this piece of history.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product Spud. Really like that blue.
What color tape for the handlebars?
Think it's going to be white Bob. Cloth tape lacquered.
Sweet looking ride enjoy.

Bicycle as art. You are to be congratulated my friend.
So she's a 4-speed then Spud?
More pics as promised
This bike has L'Eroica in its future (hopefuly). Great.
I'm in the dark on this... Is that all there is to the shifting system?
The axle move front/back, you shift rings by pedaling backwards?
Weird, I could not edit my post.... I missed the www reference, that is amazing. Nice ride.
durielk, yes that is Campy's first shifting derailleur.
Hosie, l'eroica is on the calander.
what a beauty spud, so you just reach back to change gears? very cool
