Bruce Gordon Refurb
 
I finally built up this ‘86 BG frame I purchased from another forum member. I outfitted it with mostly Nuovo Record components, an ‘85 Super Record crankset, Modolo Speedy brakes, and a Nitto cockpit.

The bike rides really nice. I took it on a shakedown ride and it’s already becoming one of my favorites. :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96381b1aff.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a0ff183537.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bfa828e749.jpg

Bruce made some wonderful bikes and the classics from the 80's are my favorites. Elegant design and ride beautifully.

Two things though. First, old school white bar tape looks great but gets so dirty so fast!

Second where do you live that you can ride THAT gearing! (Kansas or Florida?)

I was going to go with black tape, but sometimes you just have to swing for the fences.[emoji4]

I live in Sacramento, CA. It’s pretty flat for the most part. I ordered a 13-24 freewheel, though, which will make life a bit easier.

Bravo!
For some reason my eye was immediately drawn to that beautiful fork. It looks so perfect. Elegance.

love the colors

Always a classic steel frame to have in the stable. I have one in my stable but I need to get it out and take a ride in honor of BG.

Well done sir.
