My Vintage Cross.....
Built all with Old and NOS parts.
Frame is a Labadie (really a Zeus, but has Campy Drops. Very true cross bike. No rack mounts, no bottlecage mounts.
Drivetrain is early 90's Shimano 600. Singlespeed setup.
Brakes are early 90's XTR
I recently put the wheels from a Trek cross bike on it as my 600/Sun wheels are pulling apart.....

That's beautiful. What gear ratio you using? You going to bring that out to any of the Nashville races this season? I'd love to see it.

Thanks Booksy. I had a 39-20 on it at that time. Since then, I've updated the bike with a 9sp DA cluster in back and brifter up front. I was spinning out completely on the faster sections of the stuff I ride lately with the former setup.
I hope to make it to a couple of the Nash races - hope to see you there!

Thanks Ya'll.
cxchiva, I did get the frameset from a Cali shop, but I can't remember the name now...

Updated my ride a little further. The fork was not heavy in steel terms, but it was heavy overall.....I wanted to update the thing a bit and get some weight off it.
I found an AlphaQ fork for it in 1" and installed it with a King 1" headset. I added a scandium Control Tech stem to it along with a carbon spacer. Feels really nice so far.
I cut 1.3lbs off the bike in total!!! I think that will make some difference (not as much as cutting anothe 10lbs off my a$$) that I can feel while shouldering it.
Not so 'vintage' anymore, but definitely faster than I can pilot it!
