(ORBO) Euro-thrash

[nosferatu1381]

I Have been kicking around this Velo Stadion trying to sort out what on earth to do with it. The rear seat stays are too wide for traditional 1 3/8 fenders. I tried to put it together with factory parts and it just cheesed me off. it is a lightweight lugged high carbon twitchy frame so I am going to klunk it.

had an Akisu fork set aside for it curiously but it got sucked up in another bike.

the paint (layers of oddball rattle)was horrifying so i stripped it and set it in the garden to rust

I could have taken better pictures but someone previously repaired this frame and the cantilever bars were brazed an inch off one way or some others. He said I thought it was half inch ( the guy i got this frame from that also says it was a factory defect to spite the compound layers of brass on the repair and the small crack in the frame evidence to the necessity for the repair)

whatever who cares, I repaired it again then turned down the heat and spit all over it to mark the spot so i would remember to harass him about it for all eternity or at least the very next time i saw him

I had this brilliant idea to use my pinning tool with some gold leaf . I immediately regret this decision

genuine corinthian pleather saddle

made it about this far, am completely annoyed at the fenders and the bent fork decided to just let it have the mtb parts it seems to want anyway

I say "where is my .... hacksaw?" A lot more than you would think a bike wrench should .

This fits

This does not really technically fit. I wanted to use Simplex and l'eroica dowtube type shifters but I may have been drinking heavily last night. Going to go with an exage group on this one. It needs any advantage I can give it anyway. I may be using silly biopace chainwheels but whatever it has been a lot of bikes since the last swap meet.

Unicrown fork it is. I am all out of pretty lugged ones

Yes that had some really sweet bikes actually. Kind of glad I found this little thing even if a horse did step on it a little

Well speak of the devil. Maybe this gets traditional coaster after all

I am really sure I hate it. I am double dog sure I hate the lights in this shop. I am just going to throw away this garage door and build a nice brick wall here with french doors or something

Definitely feels like "snuck out of the house at four a.m. on a bmx" nailed it
