New commuter. Alan cross, Centaur gear with Tiagra compact crank. I put the 130mm flat stem on instead of the 70mm/+17 and it fits pretty well now.

Picked up the frame and forks from a guy on eBay and it arrived from Eindhoven a couple of days ago, I couldn't help myself and built her up straight away. She comes just over 8 kg's and rides like a dream, i'm doing an Everest in the 1st week of June to raise funds for Nepal and will be using the Batavus.

And yes, the horn may look dorky but by crikey it's way more effective than a bell - it even gets the attention of motorists (and kids love the sound of it).

You can just see that bike looking just as beautiful in 10 years time whereas all the swish new carbon racers the next big thing will be a year or two away and out of style just as fast (and I'm as guilty as anyone invoking the n+1 style police rule).

Horrible phone photo of my daily commuter.
Trek 370 Fast Track...gifted to me from my sister...who got it from a guy at the Mildura tip.
The frame, forks and handlebars are the only original bits left
I have slowly been upgraded it as parts failed over the last couple of years.
Added Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels after a hub cracked on the original wheels. conti GP4000SII 28 on front 25 on back.
Replaced the downtube shifters with cheap sunrace shifters,
Then added a Shimano 105 5800 groupset after the original biopace chainrings became dangerously worn.
The cheapest saddle the LBS had and a longer seat post...(currently looking at alternate saddle options).
Recently added Italian Racing Mirror.
$4 rear mudgaurd. (quite inadequate but haven't found an alternative I like yet)
LBS tried to convince me to get a new bike instead of doing the 105 upgrade...but I love the frame too much.

So glad your still getting good use out of the bike I got for your sis, probably would have kept for myself if it were my size.simlin wrote:

You've done a great job modernising it and keeping its original character, steel frames don't age, just their riders !

I built it up with some DA9000 I grabbed from here, as well as a Hollowgram si crankset, FSA seatpost and Zipp cockpit and it didn't come up too bad.
I took it out for the maiden voyage today and have to say that it is a very nice rig - the BB feels a lot stiffer than the CAAD10 and it transfers the power very nicely, with the added bonus of being quite smooth and comfortable on the coarse chip. I reckon I've found my new road race bike!
cheers
