Built a new bike.

A bike was given to me by acquaintance that the bike was built around twenty five yeas ago.
This bike was built parts overview.
  + Frame : Tange champion
  +Deraler : Campagnolo nuovo record
  +Clank set : Shimano
  +Wheels F/R : Tubular tire wheels
  +Breaks F/R : Shimano

I feel, this bike ex-owner would have used to touring.
I consider, the bike restructure using for my daily workout in my town.
So, I combine that bike and other bike parts.

I change and replace below parts.
   + Remain of the original.
      --> Frame.
      --> Clank set.
      --> Break.
   + Tires and wheels change to clincher from tubular.
      --> Aluminum clincher wheels.(other bike's)
      --> Tires are Continental's ultra sport yellow.(New)
   + Rear sprocket change to single from multi.
      --> Single sprocket.(Other bike's)
   + Nuvo record groupset replace.
      --> Shimano chain tensioner ALFINE CT-S500.(New)
      --> Using chain tensioner is to be able to change front sprockets.
   + Put on, bike bell and light.

      --> These parts was bought 100Yen shop by me.(New)

Replaced Campagnolo groupset is in safekeeping for my future bike.

My bycicle trouble

It is an incredible problem.

My bicycle rear hub ratchet gave way under my foot.

If I were more speed, I may have done the death. However, I did not do the big injury.

I asked the manufacture and I required to be compensated this problem.

They offered me exchange for new the whole of bicycle, but I don't think their good product quality from many troubles on my bicycle.

The Manufacture : HANWA

Products brand name is WACHSEN

The trouble history.

     The rear tire tube burst.

        --> Replaced new tube.

I requested The manufacture to change only rear wheel assembly.

  --> The new rear wheel assembly has sent to me in a few weeks.

The old one.










 The new one.

This bicycle had many problems since I bought it.

The HANWA products bicycle is assembled from very low quality parts.

I do not recommend these brand products.

You don't want to trade off quality for price.
