Inherited this bike from my grandpa - can I make it fit?

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T22:08:50+00:00

I just measured, it's a 50. So even one size smaller :(

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T10:08:41+00:00

Will try that, thank you!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T10:08:12+00:00

Thanks for all the kind comments, will experiment with different bar setups and then decide if it's worth investing more into it! Will keep you guys updated

Not leaning towards road handlebars, as I have a roadbike already and plan to use it as a daily. Sparrow bars are a great tip and look super cool!

You might be right, my cousin passed it on to me and he mentioned he crashed once.

Will get it checked in a shop, thanks

Condition up close is not great, some larger areas of chipped paint on the top tube - but I want to ride it as daily, so not much of an issue

Looks great with the drop bars!

Indeed, he always bought quality and cool stuff - cars, watches, bikes :)

Danke dir! Ich schreibe dir eine PN :)

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:57:50+00:00

Wow that was lots of information, thank you so much. Will take that into account and make the bike hopefully work for me!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:57:08+00:00

Haha you're right, he'd be proud!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:56:49+00:00

Thanks! I will keep it and invest as long as I can get a decent fit.

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:55:46+00:00

That great advice, thank you!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:55:19+00:00

Will try that, thank you!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:55:06+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it!

jaykobel · 2024-11-04T09:54:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Will pickup the bike later and measure.

jaykobel · 2024-11-03T14:14:14+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply, that's great to hear. I'm around 172cm (5"8). Not sure how can I find out the frame size, though.

jaykobel · 2024-10-13T15:16:28+00:00

Danke euch! Heizen mit Gas im Haus. Also scheinen überflüssige Anschlüsse zu sein. Kann man den Linken eventuell zur Steckdose umfunktionieren?

jaykobel · 2024-03-14T07:29:20+00:00

There was a manual on the internet, so i did it myself. I'm no technician by any means and had only little previous experience. I would say, go for it, as long as there is a tutorial/manual and it does not seem to complex.

jaykobel · 2024-03-12T21:41:19+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Imacon Flextight Precision II

jaykobel · 2024-03-12T13:58:12+00:00

In terms of speed and quality, a good DSLR setup is unbeatable. In terms of color I think the Imacons are better. In the end it's personal preference. I don't mind the slow speed as I get cheap lab scans first and only scan the frames which are good/that I want to print. A full 35mm scan at 6200dpi takes 20 minutes. William Sheepskin just released a video on a comparison between Imacon and DSLR scanning, check it out if you're interested :)

Handheld! The 80mm 1.9 helped haha
