I have not visited this thread in sometime. Here's my yellow Master Light, Pete. That blue one yours?

That Colnago looks about my size

No not mine but it belongs to a friends in a Faceplant group.

Byron,

Is there much of a demand for these?




I will post some pics of an old bike I pulled from the parent’s ranch last year, as soon as I take some better ones.

No worries, kinda what I was thinking anyway. Thought I would just ask the oracle of all things “bike”..

Cheers

Speaking of Colnago .... I'm building a 'ratrod' out of a track bike I bought last year. It's not worth restoring and I don't even know what it is. It has multiple layers of paint. I've rusted some of it with a mixture of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt. Got some replica Colnago decals from the Czech Republic. I'll post pics when it's done

[herr_oberst]

Speaking of decals, I have a complete set of Team Crest/Huffy decals. Team Crest eventually became Team Coors Light with Davis Phinney as the lead rider.

(Don't tell anyone, but those were never Huffy's under the decals!)

My plan is to paint this old Trek 1100 black and install the decals as a tribute.

[CurtEgerer]

Very cool project I remember the Crest/Huffy team.

[greglepore]

Yeah that is cool. I have a Crest team hat somewhere signed by Rishi Grewahl.

Very cool, when both Huffy and Murray fielded bmx teams, the frames the racers raced were custom built by other top BMX frame builders.

Very sad news:
Legendary engineer and bike designer Mike Burrows – the mastermind behind the Lotus 108 – has died.

RIP Mr Burrows.

Note the "Mavic starfish crank" (French) on the track bike. They're getting really hard to find in good shape.

[Racerbvd]

Just need to set up the brakes and do some fine tuning and my new 29 will be ready to ride.






Some here may recognize this.

Also responsible for the sloping top tube on modern road bikes (I still think they are ugly to look at), started with the Giant TCR that supplied the ONCE team who dropped Look bikes. I had one of the first 180 alum Team TCR frames that came into the US from Giant. It was light, fast and twitchy down the long mt decent. YOu have to be on your game when flying down high speed, long curves
