BICYCLE RESPRAYS | FRAME BUILDING

This is one of my own restoration projects. After

This is one of my own restoration projects. After a few years of languishing in the corner of the garage I decided to restore my old Argos 653 All Terrain race bike. It’s pretty close to how we built the bike back in 1992 except the fork was changed to a slightly later Rock Shox Judy XC. Fitted with the period 7 speed XT groupset, Mavic M231 CD rims, Control Tech bars and stem & the modern version of the Ritchey Z Max tyres. I’m really pleased with the results. #vintagemtb #vintagemountainbike #mavic231 #rockshoxjudyxc

Carlton Professional 1978. The bike has had the same owner since new, after years of sitting in storage, he decided to treat his beloved bike to a refit. The project grew into this amazing build with custom additions of chrome stays & fork blades, Campagnolo 50th anniversary groupset, Cinelli Unicanitor saddle amongst many other subtle touches. This has been quite a journey and a pleasure to work with David throughout this project. #carltonbikes #campagnolo50th #eroica #eroicabritannia #thegertlushvintagesportif #cinelliunicanitor #vintagebicycles
