At the time I was also big into classic Schwinns, neither of those in the background are classic but I was in the middle of making an adult-size Stingray third from the front.

The story goes, 10 years ago I was contacted by a member of the Freakbike Militia whom I am still part of, about a road bike he found in the trash on the side of the road, thinking nothing of it I headed south and grabbed it at our December ride. Hey, free bicycle, right?

After some research on the frame I realized what I had and began working on it. It went from a pile of parts to a working bicycle in a few hours and about 100 bucks.

Grip tape and 7 speed SIS with indexed downtubes. I wished I had held on to most of these parts as it got upgraded.

New job meant new toys. This would have been 2008 where the bike really started to take shape

9 speed in, also because the cheap wheel I slapped on the back was only 124mm spacing, the spindle wasn't wide enough for 9/10 speed so it got new wheels too, cheap FSA RD-220's but they were smooth and got the job done.

I do all my own work by the way, in fact the only things I did not do on the final build was lace the wheels and spray the frame

Time for powdercoat, because this is a rider not a shop floor queen and I planned on absolutely thrashing it at alley cat races

I'll never forget this day. I also managed to keep the original chrome I spent a few hours buffing it up and giving it the Mother's treatment. It still wears the original chrome to this day.

Original 600 bottom bracket back in, repacked the bearings, and has a new spindle the old one was flat-spotted. This attention to detail on the 600 drivetrain would influence me later on to convert the whole thing to 600 Tri-color

Here is where the wheels started really turning on a more modern take on it. As a Christmas present to myself I dropped all of the junkyard stuff and went with 9 speed Ultegra paddles, Flightdeck computer, Sora crank (which wouldn't last long) new brakes, Michelin Pro 2 Race tires, Dura-Ace chain and some other small stuff I'm probably forgetting. I planned to ride it at my first MSBike which was coming up in April 2009. Won my first alleycat race on this setup.

Well I guess you'll find out soon enough :^)

10 speed Ultegra 6600 derailleurs, the groupset was almost complete.

Ultegra 6502 53/39 and sealed 6500 BB, also added 6700 clips and Gaerne cleats that stayed clean for a week.

All of these parts would soon find their way to this bike, and the frame would hang in my living room for a few years. It was sold when I lost my job, I bought it back from the guy when I found work again, and about a year ago I got the itch to put it all back together, but done right this time with old school shit

>spinergy meme wheels

They don't make you faster but they look dope as fuck. I'll probably never ride on a set ever again at least on the street.

>>1025140
That's 6600. 6500 was Octalink

You can keep dumping money into this bike, but until you fix that saddle angle it will remain anti.

I fixed it later per /n/'s request.

New old stock Campy axle tensioners. I later removed all of the powdercoat off of the drop outs

Period Mavic Open 4's on polished 600 Tri-color 6400 hubs. 36 holes each I'm a fat boy. One of the very few things I did not do by myself. I couldn't find the front hoop by itself in 36h so I bought a wheel with that hoop, lopped the hub off and had it re-laced with the 6400 hub.

It's not exactly period but it's close enough, Tri-color came out in 1992 and I wanted STI since I planned on actually riding it. I had always wanted this particular groupset and now I was on the brink of having it

Also had a Dura-ace 8-speed cluster. It's the only non-600 part on the whole bike, mostly because I couldn't find the 600 cluster and it was free, and I really liked the 25-12 gearing. It's like a semi has 4 hi and 4 low the spacing between 4 and 5 is a noticeable drop.

Challenge Criterium tires, the closest thing I could get to period tires that weren't dry rotted. The tread is the same as the 80's Criterium as well as the manufacturing location, all that changed is they are now made in Thailand.

I also after much sleuthing found a 600 6400 seatpost. Look clipless, which would later change to Dura-ace SPD-SL to keep with the Shimano tribe. Also got the correct decals which later I found were not waterproof the hard way, so it will be stripped down again in the future, new decals and clearcoat.

Full 6400 STI groupset. Everything even found the 600EX chain that was sold with it NOS. Found the tri-color water bottle too, as a finishing touch.

I traded a bunch of Suntour Superbe Pro stuff for it as well as 7 sets of Suntour sealed bearing derailleur pulleys NOS which I later found out I could have sold and bought the whole 6400 set outright off of that alone. Whoops.

Starting to come together. All bearings have been re-packed at this point. That's almost a NOS 600 BB, the spindle was flawless just had to add axle grease to the bearings. The seller of the 600 groupset went to lengths to clean it for me so I could speed up the build, I usually run everything used through the degreaser but with this build I got lucky.

Here you can see the unorthodox Shimano DA clipless pedals. I didn't know these weren't conventional SPDs so when I got them I had to scramble and find the cleat and a pair of shoes that would accept them, luckily the shoes I already had would take them. They are loosely related to mountain bike egg beaters, roughly the same generation.

I also can't wrap bars for shit and for a build of this caliber I was happy to buy him a few of his favorite beers if he did it.

and now some proper /p/hotos that have been posted here before. I seem to have lost the hi-res ones I may find them again.

You belong on reddit.

I can only assume you're some sort of crossboarding faggot from /p/ or some shit and think it's completely normal to post a bunch of self-centered tripfag photos and only come here when it happens to be photos of your bike.

How hard was it to cold set the rear? I want to do that with my Maruishi build

inb4 pink cable ends

Not at all difficult the Campy stops helped line it all up and the rest I just eyeballed.

The dish is off on the rear wheel a tad so it's not perfectly straight but nothing rubs and it flies in a straight line, 500 miles on the build and everything is straight no uneven wear.

I had blue ends on my Tommaso and gold ones on the Ciocc so it's okay

>>1025224
Did you use a threaded rod and nuts and spread it?

Also found this old pic of me bombing the Jewfish Creek Bridge at MSBike just before Key Largo, tucked in probably well over 40mph. I had more gearing but it was the first day and I wasn't trying to blow my wad before the big pull home. For the longest time and most of this bike's time on my fleet it rode a 53-11 final with a short stint at 56-11 and I could wind them both out.

As I've gotten older and slower, and with an injured ankle, I've opted for 46-12 final and much shorter gearing.

>>1025226

These frames were offered in 120, 124 and 127. I got super lucky and found a 124. The 135 FSA wheels I had on it took some wrestling to get on but these 600 Tri-color hubs I believe are 127 or 130. I think those 135s may have stretched the stays over a period of a few years because I had them on forever.

I usually just put the one side of the axle in and pull on the frame just a bit from the other side with the rim in the other hand and it slides right in. Pulling all the powdercoat off the dropouts where the axle slides in also made it easier.

Most of your 6-speed frames are 120mm. Once SIS hit the market 124 and 127 became commonplace. They're close enough to make it fit and if you're close to the year in your component period you won't have to wrestle much. The 6400 groupset is only a few years ahead of this Ciocc so it's close enough for me to wing it.
