That is extraordinarily beautiful. Any chance of a couple more pictures? :smile:

ok - i can do that at the weekend - what would you like a picture of?
here's a few of the frame when i received it...and a few when the hammerite was rubbed off.
£50 for the paint job - £5 for the tange forks, rear chrome still ok.
campag gransport chainset, and GS hubs on mavic rims, campag headset, cinelli bars and stem basically anything i had and would fit
alghonga deep drop brakes as the wheels are now 700c (was originally 27") - maybe about £80 all in at the most

Some beautiful road bikes, love the simple elegance and paint schemes.
Think i have my next project.
Here is my old mtb recently converted to ss, not as pretty i know. Fitted with surly gears of 36/18. Also fitted discs as old rims worn. Impressed with the direct drive, but spinning like a madman on the flats. Considering refitting front mech and outer ring to give an overdrive.

Here's mine - pretty simple, old school - at the end of the road on our island, nowhere to go except back the way you came...

Simple unfussy commuter: My new Ridgeback Solo

Understated carbon forks, with a nice retro curve

And I got the uncomfortable standard saddle changed for Charge Spoon. Never ridden one, but they come highly recommended. If it doesn't work, I'll put my usual Specialized Indie XC on

I picked it up yesterday, and have since fitted the Marathon Pluses you see attached to my saddlebag. As well as an old pannier rack and a scruffier bottlecage and a fixed sprocket. Lack of chain means I'm still running it singlespeed, which is OK, but not what I want to do. Well, what I really want to do is fit an S3X at the back and a Schmidt nabendynamo up front.

Runs well, and was a bargain at £340. There are still some available at Evans for £399 (originally £599). But you do have to put up with Evans service for that.

Oh, if it looks familiar, it's a rebrand of the Genesis Skyline.

Anyway, this should see a lot of miles from now on.

Hi, this is my custom built Mercian The wheels were built by Harry Rowland with a SON hub at the front and a Phil Wood at the back.I built it after picking up the frame from Mercian, although it's got a Brooks on now. It has not been necessary to true the wheels in about 20,000 miles.
