Brown bar tape, new front mech, and sort the rear brake cable. Maybe new silver stem and bars also 🙂
Looks good! A clubman?
Aye 2012 version - bought off here (frame/fork/brakes/seatpost) for £100 🙂
Going to have a rack on it also for a ride from the peaks to south of brum and back in a couple of weeks
Bargain. The price on that one kept on going lower and lower; was waiting for someone to buy it and post a pic!
Crackin. A black saddle would look better than brown bar tape though. Definitely needs a silver Thomson X2 on there.
Wrong on bar tape and right on stem
Nice, looks really good. The Charge brown bar tape is pretty good, if not too close a match for the saddle, and Condor Strada is good value for silver bars and stems.
Got deda bar tape
And some hand built wheels coming. 105 hubs on mavic rims
Nice bike - a Brooks Swift on that would finish it of peachy 🙂

i am 35 not 65 lol!!
I'm 36 - what you saying 😉
Seriously, riding a well fitted Brooks is like having your buttocks massaged by the wings of an angel with every passing mile. Initial firmness gives way over the miles to pure comfort and joy.
Unless you have a B17 Champion Sprinter like I do on my fixed - a seriously narrow saddle:

I have a Swallow Ti on my road bike and a Swift ti on my MTB...

Nice bike, I'm with Danny on the saddle though, if you're going to build a modern day golden oldies bike you may as well have s saddle to match 🙂
I'd have gone black seatpost, black headset spacers myself but looks good
Nice.
a bit further along than my work-in-progress

although it is now nearly done...
Nice frame il_bandito! I've got an identical ti cross and love it. Although monetarily it is one of the cheaper bikes in the shed, it's the one I'd save in a fire.
How old is that one?
How old is that one?
to me? About 1 month.
belonged to Mcmoonter since 2005 i think.
Now built with 105 drivetrain, Ultegra cranks, Hope BB, R505 brakes with Ashima rotors. I built the wheels myself: Novatec 712 rear hub and SP PD-8 front, on Velocity A23 rims with AC spokes. Exposure Revo/Redeye lights, Charge Knife saddle. Just needs Crud Raceguards fitting.
Pics soon...

Exactly! So what you doing with brown bar tape?!
I was really tempted to buy that Clubman frame, but it would have meant selling my Kaffenback and that is just so versatile.
Rocketdog, would have gone with black post but lost a bit of the clamp
