Had this built up for a few months now. I grew up around sandgate, and with hoffy cycles being my local shop as a kid, i have wanted to own a hoffy for awhile now. This was a budget build. Hence the colours. Got the thing rolling for around 800 which i was happy with for a build with brand new wheels, cranks pedals headset and chain. And decent quality second hand parts.
Hoffy frame & fork
Cinelli bars stem and seat
gran compe wheelset
sr laprade seat post
roselli cranks
welgo pedals
izumi chain.
Yeah wheel colour is terrible, but the price was to good to pass for a set of brand new gran compe. Only a little dearer than a rear deep v, including postage. I was planning to strip and polish them, or paint, but i was more interested in riding the thing.
nice.
any chance you could take a nice close-up photo of the HOFFY decal on the downtube?
can’t find one on da interwebz and am working on some decals for my recently acquired Hoffy
Wish someone who has hoffy decals would scan them and get them done up for everyone else to enjoy. Some seriously nice Hoffy frames which don’t have decals.
I got lots of pics but the same lugs, fork crown and dropouts were used by hundreds of builders. The differences between them won’t be easy to spot, certainly not from the obvious details. But fwiw here’s some more if it helps.
