Koen Hufkens, PhD<p>Finished my Eddy Merckx Strada OS neo-retro road bike rebuilt. Got a modern carbon fork in and switch to Shimano 105 parts. The frame was in good condition but I treated it with Boeshield T-9 anyway. With the new drive train came new wheels as well. Might swap out the original commuter saddle for something more aggressive, and drop the stem a bit as well. Fun learning curve getting this all sorted, resulting in a faster bike as well.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bicyclerepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bicyclerepair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bikestodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bikestodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SteelIsReal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SteelIsReal</span></a></p>
