Here's mine

Ho questo Girare Perregaux Laureato 8010 in acciaio e oro rosa con me da un paio d'anni, voglio però comprarmi un camper e purtroppo devo farlo andare via. Ho garanzia originale ancora da compilare, orologio e 3 maglie extra. È in condizioni ottime per l'età, pochissime hairline. A Quanto pensate possa realisticamente venderlo?

Hi all! How much do you think that I could realistically sell this for? It's steel and rose gold. I've got the original guarantee still blank, bracelet in very good condition, 3 other spare links

Dopo anni senza indossare il mio amato 013, sono finalmente riuscito a trovare una cassa non OEM, dato che la corona non rientrava più.

​Ho comprato da un ragazzo in zona un Tandorio praticamente nuovo per 20 € (molto meno rispetto a una cassa OEM usata originale) e l'ho anche aggiornato con lunetta luminescente, ghiera coin edge (è più sottile dell'originale, economica e le dimensioni non sembrano più sproporzionate), movimento NH24 e vetro in cristallo.

​Onestamente avevo dimenticato quanto fosse bello. Eccolo qui, ragazzi!

​Confronto di profilo con il mio SPB187

After years of not wearing my loved 013 I finally managed to find a non OEM case, the crown wouldn't go in anymore.

Bought a basically new tandorio from a guy locally for 20€ (much less then an original used OEM case) and I've also upgrade it with lume bezel, coin edge (it's slimmer than the original, cheap, and doesn't look off in dimensions anymore), nh24, crystal glass.

I honestly forgot how beautiful it is. Here we go guys

Hi everyone! Me and my girlfriend are planning to buy a camper (or something similar) to go traveling for as much as we can in Europe. Atm, we are based in Sardinia, Italy. We came across of this vehicle, in very good conditions, Iveco vm90, ex firefighters. It's a 2.5 turbo diesel, 4x4. Removing the Aluminum panel it will be around 5m sq of empty room inside. We were thinking to buy it and customize it for our needs, but I can't figure out the bed situation. We are quite small, she is 1.50 m and I'm 1.65. based in your opinion, it's better to have the bed inside with a reversible mounting situation, or to buy a nice rooftop tent?

This little truck 🚒 + a top notch tent like the James Baroud pro line xl it will be close to 10k €. We don't mind spending a little for this 2 important stuff, I've also seen a lot of used campervans for around the same price, but I'll have a lot of friends helping out with the project (mechanic, electricians, etc etc) to make the other stuff (some of them have already a camper) or buy straight away a vintage one for around the same price (but there's still a lot of stuff to do in the vintage one in my area, and legal wise, I can't park everywhere in Europe with a truck, rather then a campervan). I'll appreciate any kind of ideas and help. Thanks a lot

After been as bin parts, it's tacking shape. Very happy. I fuckin love it guys. God bless the day I bought a vintage steel bike

After trying 3 forks on a Diamondback Ascent, I finally found a purple/blue one, and then tracked down its matching frame somewhere else. So yesterday, between a fair share of cursing and an endless hunt for usable parts without buying a single thing, this is where we ended up. The only new part is the black brake housing I had at home. The rest is all parts bin. This DBR Axis R is an absolute beast, guys! Bonus points for the upside down cockpit. Was My friend idea and feel unbelievably good

So, scrap found, I've tried to clean it properly. All the mounting side like, saddle mount, bars, bb were spotted clean. A lot of grease. I mean, 1992 frame, removed everything without any issues (fork apart) I need help to know about this AVENIR stuff. Frame is a 1992 limited edition with a 1995 down hill Italian fork. Anybody knows about AVENIR?

Long story short. Old San Marco Arrowhead bike saddle that I didn't wanted to bin, bought cordura cargo pants off vinted for 7€ shipped (new, and the same blue 🔵 of my vintage RockHopper decals), took measurements, de stitched, cutted and glued. Never done before, came out very nice, way better that I expected 😂. I might wax the out of it tbh and maybe doing a frame bag with the rest of the cargo materials

I've come around this bad boy in my local bike community place. Do you guys have any ideas about this?

What should I do with it? Need ideas

Apparently Bianchi made a Collab with Gatorade, during 1992, 1993 years.

I found it on Facebook marketplace for 220 (I'm not buying it, sigh)

It's in awesome conditions!!!

FINALLY! after nearly an year swapping parts, looking for tools that I've lost moving from one house to another, passing from cheap canti to High tear V brake to ciclocross canti here she is. In her "final form"? (I've another blank frame on the way)

I've bought it to change from my El tsx vintage Bianchi (to stiff, to many potholes in town) to commute, hangin' arrrrrrround. Was the only frame for selling in Sardinia, planning to do small trips around Cagliari with it. I've paid it 260€ but was complete with a bunch of other stuff (I'll post the before in the comment) and was way to uncomfortable, bars to high, felt very dangerous in town, to many hills/down hills. Then quickly stopped to be a bin parts bike and I've spent way more than I thought (lol) but it feels amazing

For anybody wondering here is a list:

WHEELS

•Mavic cross rides (they came with a 9sp SRAM cassettes included) very cool, flat spokes, Al, quite lite. I've removed all the stickers because was way to noisy. Paid used 160€

•Schwalbe AIR PLUS inner tubes (around 8€ for the pair)

•Goodyear 🪽 wing foot park 26 x 2.20 (around 40€ for the pair)

Front fork was a New old stock, probably triple cr-mo, way lighter than the original, very stiff, found on eBay for +/-30€

Chain, rear derailleur, shifter, were all a set with his 9sp cassette bought online for 25€

Jag wire pro Brake/shifter cables another 30€

BRAKES

•The ciclocross canti are Ride Will, an Italian brand. But I've actually bought them both on eBay from London, second hand for 35€, rather than pay like 50€ for one pair

•Levers are Shimano sora, brand new, 30€ (mine didn't worked well, even if they should've been short pull too)

•Bike Yoke Lock on Grippy (best investment after the Surley Sunrise) 30€

COCKPIT

•Surley Sunrise handlebars (the most difficult piece to find) my bike shop cut them for it, from 820 to 760MM (I'm 1.67m, they are actually perfect sized now) paid 88€

• new Al BMX stem I've found online from a guy, 7€ shipped 😂

FOR A TOTAL OF 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁

744 € (consider that I've an amount of parts that I've removed from it, to make the one on the way, obv)

All the rest came from bin parts, or I haven't changed it.

I truly apologize but I've forgot the front rack at home (but I've bought another one, because, why not?)

If you guys have any questions part wise, let me know

I absolutely need help with it, Reddit help me restore this beauty

Long story short, I bought another 26er frame for 40€ (including mounted Italian square threaded BB, stem and bars)

It looks by the decal that it should be Triple butted. I also haven't seen another sticker like that (I presume it must be from 90/95 latest).

Frame it's light, lighter than my RockHopper91, quite Racey design wise, tbh it's very much compact, way shorter tubes than a normal size M, wish bone and it's a 1 1/8 headset.

I thought it could be something like a Muddy Fox? But I have honestly haven't seen anything like that on the vintage catalogues, so I'm back to square 1
