Ruike p-108sf in 14c28n steel, only negatives are it’s abit heavy and could use some jimping. Otherwise stellar knife. Quality seems unreal for the price and they do make a lighter cpm154/ti variant that’s lighter
Not saying running every red or being dangerous just riding hard and fast and occasionally on one wheel etc
Next upgrade will be the new S-works carbon fleshlight stem, probably the Destiny Dixon variant. Should add some watts and lose a few grams every few minutes too heh
Got a couple upgrade ideas but still unsure
, thinking nitto riser bars, re lace front wheel to black hub and spokes so far, does a 1/18 threadless lugged fork with tighter geo exist…Has anyone here run a carbon fork on a steel frame before
Last pic is the one I had 12 years ago, sticker bombed and a size smaller, went all in with campy wheels and Thomson bits :P
Components are Rhythm hubs and funn cranks, tioga seatpost and pro max clamp, crupi stem etc would this be a fun reliable bike to get back into riding at age 31?
Found it in a bin and gave it new life!!! Cost me maybe 100 bux total
Kept the frame and OEM seatpost/seat and that’s about it lol
Sorry the second picture quality is ass, it’s a video screenshot I’ll post better pics of it on the actual build soon just nursing a shoulder injury atm so can’t ride
Remember the first gen omniums that said truvativ and “powered by sram” and even had a sharper edge non rounded GXP bottom bracket. Holding these in my hands takes me back holy moly
Pricing lately has been insane also I msged saying you know these are 30 bucks on Amazon and he blocked me 🤣🤣😭😭 broke clowns doing the rounds
A 1973/1974 Bennett and wood super sport 58cm squared Japanese made found in a bin roadie, I have bikes way “nicer” than this one that I’ve spent quadruple the money on but I find myself riding this one the most. Love the colour and patina
Also best thing about old roadies is a lot have even thicker larger steel dropouts than a track bike and can run 35c tires (I’m running 32s)
Last pic is the day I found her and after fixed the seized bottom bracket that nearly sent her to a rusty grave
Free discarded bin frame because the BB was seized in it, fixed it and cleaned it, got stem and seatpost for free, had spare wheels and cheap spare cranks, chain is made from Izumi black and Izumi ST offcuts.
fork was really the only investment at 100 bux and 30 on the saddle! Japanese made! Super comfy geo and cool colour and patina
Cost me 150 bucks total because the fork was 100 and got a new front tire for it, had wheels and cranks already
Vintage hard anodised campy strada aero hoops, omniums, ti flite saddle, thomson and ritchey etc
Same frame I had stolen when I was 21 and 10 years later I’ve gathered up all the parts is used to want but couldn’t afford and it’s complete. So content with it.
