Fuckin yeeeeeeeeeah. Except the stem is broken. COME ON DOESN"T ANYONE IN NYC HAVE A CINELLI 1R!?!?[/quote]
fist pound

Is that a professional?

1R’s are the ones with the dumb hidden clamp right? Fuck those things. My buddy’s Sachs had one of those stems and it has an aluminum binder bolt, which is now cracked in half. So dumb.[/quote]

Yup on both. Batavus professional from what can be assumed to be late 80s like 87 or so. And I think the 1r is sexy, practical or not. I’ll deal with a 1a or whatever, if I can find it in the right length.

This thread is awesome.
Nashbar is backordered on these:

Fuck. I wish they would tell me that before I ordered the damn thing.

velo-orange carries too

grantrules · August 20, 2009, 4:50pm

I think there’s one at my shop. You already place the order? Edit: hurrrrrrrrrr

spaghetti · August 20, 2009, 4:56pm

yay seatpost and saddle!
But I’ll probably put this saddle on the Pake and give this little pinky the Flite

Just started mitering some oversized tubes that will become my new track bike. Pretty stoked.

grantrules · August 20, 2009, 6:31pm

Found a 7-spd Sachs freewheel. Bigger range than I wanted but oh well. Also found the compression wedge for the 1r… the dude just pulled it out of a tiny little parts jar instantly. It took him longer to find a freewheel. I think I’m still going to try and find a 100-110mm 1r

Matthew_Trujillo · August 21, 2009, 4:26am

built up mah roadie. feels good man. put in a good tarck century

grantrules · August 21, 2009, 4:27am

OMG. Finished it up tonight. Stem’s too long but other than that IT RULES.

Hellllllaaaaaaaaa matchy match.

Congrats on the build up dood.

Where did you get that thing by the way?

mr_fop · August 21, 2009, 5:50am

that is quite a nice bike.
but as a member of the the IAN committee (or idiots against knogs not nogs) i must ask you to remove the knog from your seatpost.
