So after winning some a nice Suntour Superbe Pro Wheelset on trademe upon collection me and a buddy managed to clear out a ex racers garage…

Completed build photos to follow soon, but couldn’t help myself, been running round like a fucken muppet on crack. (images are pretty bad , sorry)

I scored a NZ Made Don Gibbs, 57 Square, Aero Columbus tubing, Columbus Post, fucken love it, and the paint job, plus ambrosio Tub rims and Suntour Superb Pro Hubs…

My buddy scored this NOS Bossumworth Pursuit, 57cm, Suntour Cranks, 650 Front, Bull horns and Cinelli Pista drops and Stem. Dude said he bought new 18 years ago, raced it once… In mint condition! He’s thinking he might sell though as it’s a tad small. Would be Frame, Fork, Campag Chorus Headset
Guess watch the forum or PM if interested.

Very nice. So do bullhorns actually have a history of use in racing? I always assumed they were more of a street thing…

Lots of the early pursuits rolled bullhorns, got you low down and in a better position than drops on a pursuit

They are correctly called ‘pursuit bars’ - for a good reason. :smiley:

I’m really liking the Gibbs.

Hooters, titty witties.

Suntour pro hubs very nice!

i love the paint job as well.

If you sneak a peak on the bozzy photo you can see the gibbs in the right rear and it’s rear fishbone stays.

I’ll have completed in the next 2 weeks or so, and then posted complete with good/ better photos…

Here it is finished up, the tittiesworth is still being tweeked…

It’s light as fuck, love it! way lighter than my other bike, so a nice change…

This is flippin’ nice.

18

I really thought I liked the possumworth better until i saw the build of gibbs… that post is such a good balance for for the frame (obviously) and i reckon it would do a good job of balancing a pair of seep section rims too :slight_smile: BUT as is, it’s one of the top handful of bikes I’ve seen on this site

Nice Score, can you post a pic of the front lugs?
