Got this raw diamond (aka dumpster found) it's a 1970's steel 590 – 650A wheel, size s.
Next step is sandblasting, then powder coating choosing some bright 🌈🌈🌈 color like orange maybe. Mandatory quill stem + bull bar. IDK if I should keep the original wheel size, ofc pink tyres or tan wall, or perhaps convert to 650b, maybe pursuit 26-20 with front bmx spoke wheel 😂😂😂
Just for some silly seaside cruising whatever. Or you guys tell me, how can I do worse?

If you are trying to create a chimera, add a 29″ suspension fork and make it into a chopper bike, with 24″ or 20″ wheels and some stubby cranks.
The steering will feel very weird, but it’ll look pretty cool
Deep section aero wheels
Di2 and carbon wheels
80s era time trial esthetic. Bull horns and disk wheels. You need a mismatched front/rear small/large set. It should have a colnago logo and campy super record parts with binda clips and straps.

I can’t quite bring myself to recommend the Ultimate Francesco Moser mobile but I have to post this picture:

He forgot the brakes and gears but he didn’t forget the Turbo. It does look like the rear wheel was touching his butt though.
Suspension fork is a must. The rest will fill in from there
Recreate the zip carbon wheel build
needs at least a couple steam extenders for sure, probably a 800mm bar, some magura hydro rim brakes and as others have said zipp 808s is my recommendation.
Chrome plate it, DIY aero full disc wheel and aero carbon fork for speed, but with mamachari handlebar ,full fender and front basket.
Maybe MTB 3X up front?
Do a 26″ with fixed gear and some plump tires, small chain ring. Easy cruising, no brakes will look so clean, then some bars with a lot of sweep and a combo of hot pink and neon green. You’ll be crusin around looking awesome forward or in reverse.
You’re from Finland?
