Hello and welcome to another bike or in this case a frame with no name,
and a restoration more of a bike build. But before we get on to that what i generally always say
if you're into your vintage retro road bikes, and you're not a subscriber to the channel
then please click on subscribe because it's completely free and helps out a lot. So this is
exactly how the frame come in i feel as though the red has been added at a later date maybe had some
fencing stuck on and sprayed over, it was a retro thing to do back in the day. But I think the frame
was originally white and it's had some decals that it added these Paganini team stickers but we've
established that it's definitely not an Italian bike it's definitely more Reynolds tubing and
yes it's lovely and lightweight. Nice drop outs and it's a lovely frame just a shame to let it go
and not give it some special loving. I do have a Shimano Tri colour 600 group set available to me,
so what i'm thinking is basically what we're going to do is have the frame stripped back and we're
going to do design to celebrate that group set. So have the Shimano and then colours of the Tri
colour built into the design of the frame itself and we'll build it up that way. So i've got to
come up with a design and we're also going to use mark who we've used before from MRCreations to do
the paint work he's excellent he did the Raleigh Banana restoration bike build and also the Raleigh
653 Race which is fantastic. So excited in that respect and as i say it does deserve some loving
so what we're going to do now we're going to strip the bike down, not much to strip it so we've got
a bottom bracket headset and some gear levers to take off. So we're going to do that and i'm going
to start on the design so what are we waiting for let's Crack-On and get it stripped down.
Brilliant well that was no hassle at all, very straightforward indeed
I do have a bucket or it's a bowl in this case just down below here.
Not many parts in here at all but generally as you take things off put them back on.
Put them all in one safe place we need to get the group set together get that
cleaned up and we also need to come up with some inspiration for the design of this frame and get
it sent off to Mark. So let's get on with that. Okay so here's the frame in its current state,
let's make it white first of all and add some grey to the lug work.
Let's add the Shimano 600 and the Reynolds tubing on the crossbar and also the forks. Now a little
bit of colour keeping with the colour scheme of the group set and last the Shimano wording.
I think pearl white with the grey lugs should look fantastic now let's get this design off to
Mark.
Quick update well we've got the wheel set all ready to go, these are Mavic MA-40 rims with some
Michelin Dynamic gum wall tyres bit of a favourite of mine. But these should look fantastic with that
retro look we've got a group set all on the side here the Shimano Tri colour it's all based on that
that's already it's all been degreased and i'm going to give that a light polish, and I don't
want to get rid of any of the anodising so i'm going to touch up any bits that are actually
scratched. We've got some lovely Shimano white and grey pedals to celebrate the actual colour scheme,
and Mark has also been in touch to say the frame is nearly ready. So i can't wait for that
we've also got a nice Campagnolo seat post and i've got to locate a nice matching saddle
to go with the look we've got some Cinelli handlebars and also a nice long stem there,
so i've got these to wrap we've got a saddle to find and also that
all important water bottle. Stay tuned because this is going to be a fantastic build.
Wow well what a result. It is absolutely stunning Mark really has outdone himself
on this frame. We have used him a couple of times before once on the Raleigh Banana project
and once on the Raleigh 653 Race both fantastic bicycles and yes i couldn't recommend Mark enough.
The frame is exactly how the design was it's in this lovely pearl white with these grey lugs,
and obviously we've got the Shimano there with the Tri colours built in. It should absolutely look
amazing with the group set, we've got that all on the side there all ready to go as we generally do,
and we've slightly dressed the frame we've got the bottom bracket in and we've also put the headset
in. Got a lovely chrome chain stay here on the back that's to put on celebrating and keeping with
the Shimano theme that's got the Shimano logo on there and i've also managed to locate a fantastic
brand spanking new turbo saddle so yes that should look great. I cannot wait to get this
bicycle together we've also got the Elite water bottle i have got a water bottle just down here
but you're going to have to wait for that it's a fantastic match and yes i can't wait to get this
bike back together. So what are we waiting for let's Crack-On and get this bike back together!
Wow, well what a result. It looks amazing and far better than i expected compared to when
the frame first came in and how the bike looks now. It looks stunning really happy with the
Shimano group set, works really well and really does complement the frame and the colour scheme
of the design. Loving the handlebars really nice touch with these blue bar ends, matched the blue
on here and also the Shimano pedals with the grey. It looks absolutely stunning
servo saddle well it can't go wrong with one of them,
and we also have the water bottle just down here as i mentioned it's a Shimano one very
in keeping indeed the Tri colour it's original back from the 80's so let's pop it in have a look.
Brilliant well it looks as though it belongs there. We do finish these builds off with a
ride the bike is slightly too small for me but i'm gonna get it out anyway and i do
have a jersey back from the 80's matching of course, which is the Tri colours so i've
managed to find one of them so the sun's out so let's get this bike out and try it out.
Well this has been the frame with no name, and what a fantastic road bike it turned out to be
it's absolutely stunning. Really smooth to ride a little bit small but it's great to get it out and
give it some new life. It's in collaboration with Ceri-Cyclone who do fantastic work with
