Frames and Parts

It's raining Cats and Colnago's!


First up, KO's Master Olympic

Assembled by the Turbo - remastered with complete shimano 600 ensemble with aero levers and biopace chainrings.

Before the velospotters have time to quip 'You can't mix rice and pasta!' she'll be already lengths ahead.

But why? The tubing is TANGE Ultimate ' Superlight' - the best Nihon has to offer.

'Is it new?!' was the frequent call at the Roller Derby.

Just slightly loved perhaps - and ready to get some full time attention.

KO prefers to get dirty off-road, but we think she'll grow to love the tar just as much as the mud.

Very purdy.



NEXT


Scooter's tecNOS, and our lovely Gove rocket.

Tecnos was Ernie's lightest steel frame yet, made between '96 and 2000 utilising Columbus Nivachrom and again with elegant crimped tubing for the top and main tubes.

Light steel means the rider also has be to light - which works perfectly for Scooter.

Below Scooter's Tecnos, we have Sweird's Colnago, which has just been given the Shifterbikes once over.




Finally, an old pic of our Superissimo SL, which now has a matching hot pink rolls, and is about to get shamals to finish the job.

SL might have stood for Superlight back in the day, by modern standards it's not exactly plumbing pipe, but it'll outlast every carbon frame there is.







In case you didn't get enough Doris for one day.

God I need a road bike.

Same here. Got a big-****ed 150 mile ride coming up and while I'm tempted to do it on my fixed 48x16 I figure having other ratios available might be nice.

...missing the "fixed" part of FYXOmatosis

you'll have to wait till we are 'back on track' for that.
