This is mine before I got around to putting on the shifters, brakes, chain and pedals.

http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=7505 (http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=7505)
It is a Redline Conquest cyclocross frame, Rigida rims (with flashy 3M reflective tape!), knobby 32mm Conti tyres, Tektro mini-V brakes and old Ultegra bits everywhere else. Oh, and Time mtb pedals - because it is just easier that way!

[luckyphil]

oooo, i want me some of that tape!!! how much? how does one put it on?

[DEVLIN]

The tape you can get from industrial supplies like Bakers or Blackwoods. There are some safety gear shops around that sell it as well. Not sure where else to get it. I was thinking of getting the dark grey colour to match my rims and doing the same thing. I do a lot of comutting through Sydney at night and they would stand out heaps in the headlights. Should only cost a couple of bucks. You just have to cut the dots out then.

I will post my roadie after I have washed this weekend.

[Sutek]

Wow...we're showing our roadies...

I've got a Giant OCR2, so I better get snapping and post up some pics..

Back soon. :wink:

Hey Schwing, what brake leavers have you got there?

[schwing]

the brake levers are old diacomps.
The calipers are AVID shorty 4's, ( import)
I think I should have gone for mini V's and used the same road levers

[LTR]

http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_thumbnail.php?pic_id=10155 (http://www.farkin.net/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=10155)

Here's my latest project. The brakes arent working too well, so im thinking of getting some sort of levers and possibly some sort of caliper. Id also like to get some bars, a sick pink paintjob, a chain and cassette (mine is 30years old +) and some nice black slicks. Not to mention the 3M Reflective patches.

Should come out great.

[kthxnp]

Stock Giant TCR2 (minus the aero seatpost) with Gatorskins coz I rip the shit out of the sidewalls of anything else going down the M2!

This is my frame before it was built up w/ ultegra, shimano WH-R535 wheelset, Vittoria Open Corsa tyres, Specialized Body Geometry Telluride saddle. Frame is custom sized w/ columbus 7000 zonal tubing & Link carbon forks. It's pretty light & feels perfect. Check out www.hillbrick.com.au

This is my frame before it was built upVery nice. Mmm, blue.

A guy here at work is currently planning his new Hillbrick - except it seems that Campy are throwing a spanner in the works. They've stopped making 28.6mm clamp front mechs, so he can't use the smaller Columbus tubes (and he won't go braze on for some reason).

[Rik]

Braze-on derailleur with band clamp adapter?
Damn stupid of Campag IMO, as you'd think more steel purists would ride the C over the S.

[McBain]

Braze-on derailleur with band clamp adapter?That's what he is thinking, but doesn't like the "unclean" look much.Damn stupid of Campag IMO, as you'd think more steel purists would ride the C over the S.Yeah, but it is Campag - can't go questioning their decisions, that's heresy!

(But then, I prefer Shimano on a roadie.)

note: flat rear tyre
there is such a trend on mountain bikers having steel roadies...
well my one maybe shit but i got me to melbourne from sydney in 3 and a half days.
ha ha and note the spd dh pedals.. so shit

[Dicky]

Yeah, but it is Campag - can't go questioning their decisions, that's heresy!

I find it completely hilarious that Campag still produce "high-end" square taper cranksets. Come on guys, your major competitor is two generations ahead of you...

It's all about 'Bling'! The seriously hardcore rider will still put those cranks on simply because:
1. They're more exotic, and
2. You just can't have Japanese or Taiwanese components on a europian frame.
We've all given into these 'rules' before.

[sam__kent]

Why is ISIS better than square taper anyway? Is it less prone to wear?

Yeah, i know.
Campag (on a lugged steel frame) is about as close to art as road cycling gets, but they're still waaay behind the times as far as technological advancement goes.

Squid, I think this is the first time you have preached retro over technology to me.... how ironic. :D

*rides 3 speed dragster to shops for lunch*

[Dicky]

Stiffer, stronger, less damaging to your cranks.

roughly double the BB axle diameter = a hell of a lot more stiffness.

It's also pressfit onto a spline (cassette style), instead of banged with a hammer onto a tapered axle (hence the name square taper) then the crank bolt reefed up really tight... or basically the "jam a washer in it" school of mechanics.

It's a 1997 Hinault "Sled". I got it 2nd-hand from a guy who bought it in France. It's a bit different: Genius Forks and Altec Frame. It looks pretty sweet, despite the scratches. I'll get some outdoor, day light photos later if anyone's interested.

Thanks. I want to build another one using a newer frame. My White Industries ENO hub has just arrived so I can go fixed or ss on a vertical dropout frame.. YAY!
I want to build it into some deep-v rims (purely for looks) and fit it to this newer frame that I'm yet to find.. outbid on a Cannondale on ebay this morning... doh!

Yup, that's me, Mr.Thylacine. I'm not a 'builder' though, I'm the evil owner/designer/slave driver type guy.

The wheels are Tune hubs laced to the new DT RR1.1 rims. 1350g of go fast gold pimpness. Yummayyyy.

FYI roadies are just one thing we make. We also do mountain bikes, singlespeeds, fixies....you name it. Pretty pictures can be found at www.thylacinecycles.com/gallery[/url]

Nice rides, but you cant really go past the traditional italian bikes like the colnago's. they are the most beautiful thing going round.

just put that together with some campy record and some bora's or go oldschool with some shamals and its sick. Even the oldschool steel frames have awsome lug work that you cant go past.
