Let's see your Steel builds!

Here’s my Coffee Grinder by Endpoint build, which I built back in 2015 and which is still going strong. Using Thomson bars & dropper seatpost, Di2/Hydraulic brakes, and custom wheels made by a local master maker in his basement workshop and with dyno hub for some Busch and Muller fore/aft lights.

I wonder how many 40-year old carbon bikes will be passed down? :thinking::grimacing:

I am in search of a Spesh Allez Epic Carbon, original Trek 9700 MTB or maybe similar roadie. Not to rip on, but ride some carbon history.

You mean one of these?

Which may or may not be in my garage.

(With apologies for ruining the steel thread with this plastic stuff)

Killer. Seen one in the flesh, pretty.

I just missed out on a different color with silver lugs and red lettering on carbon.

Here’s a Richard Sachs team bike that I was lucky enough to receive as a hand-me-down. The original fork was destroyed in a crash. It’s still got the Paul cantis but now has different wheels and CX1 crank from when I briefly ran it geared. Don’t worry, it’s also got new bar tape, this was right after I got it and was too excited to ride.

That is a gorgeous bike. Very understated from a Cinelli standpoint.

Holding off on the English dream race bike for now. Ended up getting this for the kids. Building a box for it this week. It’s a Scissortail built by Dewayne Norvill out of Norman, OK. Chris King violet everything, Quarq power meter, 1x, dropper post, and an Eagle cassette. Turned out better than I could have dreamed!!! :heart::heart:

Sorry for not seeing your comment until now… yes, original Campy high-flange hubs!

Powermeter on a cargo bike is sick! Love it! Fingers crossed you’ll be riding it at least as much as it deserves it :wink:

@hannes Have ridden it a ton so far! Taking a break due to COVID at the moment, unfortunately. 88 hours, almost 1200 miles, and at least as many smiles so far. The box is a work in progress. Here are some pics of it in action:

There’s a chance Richard would build you a new fork for it… worth a shot anyway.
