That is really good looking indeed.

The bike looks great! Especially the paint and the Campa parts. Except the brake lever-trigger combo. Those are comically ugly still. They look like they belong on a kids bike. I do not understand how Campa was able to ruin those parts so thoroughly. I mean - the color doesn't fit their own...

Didn't think a few lines of introduction would do any harm. On the contrary. Just a bike name and two pics seem quite boring to me. Not much incentive to even look into this thread if there is no text to introduce the bikes. Me personally, I find the storys around the bikes just as important as...

No, sorry.

Whelp. Retry. :D You can find the build thread here: Klick! Thias's 1991 (?) Wheeler 414 Current state: How I got it:

I have a set of these, too. Mine had the rims develop cracks around the spoke holes. And the back hub separated because the glue between the carbon and the Aluminium gave. Took me 2 years to find a suitable new rim. And one year to find those special spoke tools. The tools are made from...

I cant beleive the originallity of that bike. Nothing was swapped (except the grips). Everything still works perfectly. Even those first gen trigger shifters.

Thias's 1989 Cat M3 with a very glittery diy paint job Link to the Readers bikes thread with more pics and some background: Klick! Please do look at the pictures in there. The pictures below can't do the paint justice.

The story behind the glitter paint ist that the original owner of this bike had an old VW flower power bully bus and was working as a car painter. He painted the bus and made the bike to match. Sadly the bus is gone. I really would have liked to see that combo. Fun fact about the bike brand...

How many bikes is too many? I really tried hard to not buy this bike. It was listed locally for months! 1989 Cat M3 all original down to the tires. But with a very custom DIY paintjob. For a whopping 30 Euro! The only problem is - I don't have a need and I have too many bikes. But just look at...

Alright. No problem. :D Would a stock CATs M3 with DIY custom paint job be fitting here? I'd have to shoot a few pics first, but here is a sample. https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/attachments/cat-m3-sonderlackierung-ka2-jpg.2015985/

I'd like to enter my Wheeler, which is a "reimagination" of my very first mountainbike that I bought with my own hard earned money (mainly sucking up to gandma but also doing odd jobs like cutting grass...) at the age of 15 or so. It came equipped with a 200GS originally. And I built it with the...

Ahh. Much better. 😁

Great job! Great bike! Great pesentation! I'm just a little bit irritated about the brake adjustment. They should be symmetrical left to right?

Wouldn`t it be possible to turn a punch tool, buy some self adhesive foil and cut a few ?

Late 90ties noname, I would suggest.

What do you mean by hub caps?

Looks great, too.

Looks way more skinny than 1 1/4" to me. The early (pre 92,iirc) M-frames didn't have that.

Mag21 would be the gold standard (pun intended). Easy to maintain and great spare parts availability. Mind the steerer size. Might be 1". What you might also enjoy is a riser bar. Having the bars lower than the seat in this day and (mostly) age some might consider more reasonable fora...
