early 90s kuwahara road conversion



(all right-click-viewable)


Different bars to the first trial build, not everyone can run white tape and pull it off. Last pic is from a recent (there is always a) sat morning ride. •/ •/ three white bikes, three white bikes. See how they ride, see how they ride. •/ •/

Parts: orig. frame fork and rims coated to shoji white at A Class, edged kalloy stem c/- lwheat’s fire sale, kalloy drops from Ceres ($5 with spare stem, thanks SteveT!) DA hubs c/- coffee’s economic rationalisation, chook-foot laced by yours truly to original shimano (?) rims with DT Swiss Comp spokes from Bill at Human Powered, checkered reflective Duro tyres $35 a pop from Huw at Commuter and I still owe him a beer or three. Original sugino cranks, shimano spd pedals, K710 chain, 42x18. And so on to DISC.

Question- would they have used campag lugs front and rear?

no.
