Show us your steel.....its real...

[Beebo]

My Honky Inc, bought on Monday, with the reflectors and bell still attached. Fork is carbon but the frame is butted chromoly.

85-86 Peugeot Venoux frame. On it's way to being a single speed build. I will create a thread as soon as it gets going.

Guerciotti steel frame from Planet x - showed this here a while back but this is a better pic:

and here's a bit of a cheat - half steel, half carbon. Built up from an Ebay frame, mainly with spares and sale items:

Those look absolutely awesome! I especially like the red road version on the right.

Three examples of fine steel frames, one relatively normal Roberts, a weird fluted tubing Olmo and a truly weird Mecacycle Turbo, all of which currently reside in my crowded bike shed.

Yes, the rear wheel on the Mecacycle does fit between the split seat tube and those bars are the original correct model for this bike, made by 3TTT and pantographed "Mecacycle".

I saw an ad for this on e-bay. Common old 501 Sprint. It was a terrible picture and a start price of £49 with no real description but I took a punt as the only bidder. When I went to pick up it was covered in muck and the seatpost was stuck. Still the wheels looked ok. When I cleaned it up the next day I found a virtually perfect bike under all the crap. Took a while to unstick the seatpost but apart from that it came up like new. I decided to modernise it from my bits box and some s/h buys. It now sports Tiagra STIs, 105 brakes, Sora long cage rear mech, compact chainset and new Bluemel guards. Rides like a dream and the original seat is suprisingly comfy. Nice lightweight tourer that I reckon is a match for the newer steel lightweights in this mould [and lighter]. I may change the wheels around yet and buy some new tyres but the originals are very good and the Alesi wheels are pretty light.
