I’ve got an old Viner frame for cheap that had Shimano 600 bits on it, Pelissier hubs and an assortment of not-so-interesting parts. Frame is low end Columbus I think. It looked thus…
I want to turn it into a nimble town bike. Something to get from A to B. Comfortable, little fuss, easy, able to get up the odd hill. I’ve put a Turbo on it and some VO Postino bars, put on front wheel with 600 hub, left the back one with the Pelissier, but am stuck about what to do next.
I have these Superbe Pro parts lying around not doing much - brakes, brake levers, 2 x FDs, cranks & downtube shifters.
I’ve ummed and ahhed about swapping out the Shimano stuff, getting the remaining Suntour pieces of the puzzle. Then I think getting matching 600 will be a cheaper exercise. Or I could just try cobbling it together and tinkering until it kind of works.
Hey Gavin if the original gear all works well just go with that,
What stem did that come with Goose is after one like that in a 120.
I have done a similar build for my wife with this old Cecil Walker.
if this is the same one that i looked at earlier this year, dayne you pointed it out, it had this stem on it, decals look much nicer than i recall, gumtree find? looks great though, ride it til something fails, then swap in the suntour stuff
Wald baskets really need better support, their sheetmetal stays are flex city. VO is fine for light-med loads, but the flat stock single point crown mount allows a lot of sway once the weight goes up.
