M-Gineering photogallery


randonneur/audax/commuter/etc bicycle



On-One Midge bar


2 x 10 V downtube shifters (indexed!)


M-gineering headbadge


matching handmade stem


57mm reach brakes with sufficient clearance for a decent tyre and mudguards

horizontale padden
Horizontal dropouts, so you could do a fixed or hubgear winter project




Frames for Rohloff hubs are also popular


Rear dropout with OEM adapter

excenter
bottom bracket excentric to tension the chain


The shifter will not fit a dropbar, the aerobars were a hindrance too, so the shifter has it's own stub



hs66 rando
SRM bike. Randonneur with Son dynamo, Rohloff hub and Magura hs66 brakes. The carrier is adapted to take the Burley trailer

S&S koppeling

S&S coupling: unscrew the large nut  (there is another one in the toptube) to split the frame in two halves
 

reisfiets met S&S koppelingen
travelbike with S&S couplers and a (mainly) Deore groupset (ca 13 kg)

koppeling voor de achterkabel
Quick disconnect to undo the brakecable without tools for splitting the frame


singlespeed frame
Singlespeed frame. Based on the geometry of the Inbred, but with a much taller headtube to accommodate the taller Dutchmen without ugly spacers. And with an unicrown fork and shot-in seatstays, the frame looks a bit more rounded
columbus max
Columbus Max racing frame: A very early M-gineering (from '92!) refurbished for a new lease of life

another repainted frame
Same frame, but now with a replaced downtube and new paint. (tube was dented with a stone launched with a cyclomower)

SRM bike
Luxuriuos touring bike, with 853 frame, Rohloff, Son and Magura's, Cane Creek suspension post, Rotor crankset, double legged standard, hot and cold running water....


Derailleur geared touring bike
A normal touring bike with 853 frameset, XT parts and Tubus carriers. And a SON hub dynamo. Brakes are Frogleg canti's with fat Tektro brakelevers and extra levers on the bars.
The bike runs nicely on 40 mm Schwalbes, but there is room for extra air
stem mounted shifters
No bike is 'completely' normal here: Dura-Ace 9speed levers on a custom stem extension

just another SRM bike
Another touring bike, with the ubiquitous Son, Rohloff and Magura's. But now with Nitto bars and rack, a TA crankset, Hope headset, pump behind the seattube and Dlumotec and E6bz headlights. Frame is 853 with excenter and OEM1 Rohloff dropout.

orthopedic pedal extension
The LH SPD pedal is shimmed 5mm to compensate for a slight legl enght discrepancy

SS rubrail
paint protected from rubbing cables

custom headlight bracket
A custom bracket for the headlight fits beneath the Magura mounting

          een srm

Another SRM bike with Son, Rohloff en HS66


vakantiefiets met rohloff
M-Gineering discovers straight bars;) And no SON or Magura in sight. But there is still a Rohloff.
Other bits are mostly Deore combined with steel tubular racks.

schuivende padden

Sliding dropouts to tension the chain and a Rohloff OEM1 torqueplate to mount the axle securely

rohloff/deore, schuivende padden
Can you spot the differences? This one is slightly bigger



rohloff rando

Rohloff, shifter on a pedestal, Nitto rack, bar and seatpost, Son hub dynamo and 57mm brakes

sliding dropout

Special mounting for the rear carrier

rohloff steun

Rohloff shifter on a pedstal with room for a computer


singlespeed

Singlespeed for grand tours: sneaky gearhanger, braze-ons for racks fore and aft and three bottlecages. Frame doesn't look very big on it's own., but it is designed for a full 2.0m person

is het een singlespeed, is het een
          derailleurfiets?

kaal frame

Fillet brazed 'sunday bike' with  Pacenti forkcrown

EHBE
koper
For the  EHBE handbuilt show  I had the randonneur demo (first on the page) copper plated. Now I have to polish it, instead of cleaning it with emerycloth. The bartape started out white, and was painted in a matching colour

Maybe not a very practical finish, but it sure got noted. The other bike on show was usually ignored.

The works



Showtime.
Sometimes you have to do something outrageous, and this is outrageous according to M-gineering!
gelugd 1

It is an M-gineering, but a funny one: Polished stainless lugs (won't do to many of those) instead of fillet brazed, and a three colour paintjob with decals buried under loads of clear



gelugd 2

If you know where to look there is still some filletbrazing, but the bilaminate makes it hard to see

gelugd 3

Again the bracketshell with S&S couplers, a 'fiftyseven' transfer and  'handgemaakt in Kiel Windeweer'

gelugd 4

chainstay bridge with cutout for the mudguard

gelugd 5
Bilaminate stem with hinged clamp: you can remove the bar without unwrapping the leather Toshi bartape


gelugd 6

Stainless M-gineering M headbadge on a background of  House of Kolor candy. The lugs started out as Sachs, but the shorelines are modified, as they started out far to exuberant for my liking. I strived for subdued elegance. And I think it worked, because side by side everbody jumped on the copperplated bike  (above) first ;)

gelugd 7

Brake bridge for the 57mm brake, just visible the 30mm Grand bois Cypres tyres


gelugd 8

The lot
Build is 10 sp Ultegra, with a super nice Octalink Suntour crankset, my last Ti Flite saddle, Nitto bars, Ti King cages and Tektro brakes. The 28R/ 24Fhubs I wanted are still in the post, this is a wednesday night wheelbuild with lots of spare holes in the flanges ;)!

mudguard
Philips bakelite rear light from the thirties on a Velo-Orange mudguard

drive line
Sugino cranks, 48-33 TA chainrings and a 14-26 cassette. Nitto R cages and Simplex LJ (very little in common with the Delrin disasters) derailleurs. Rearhub is a White, rim Velo Orange, DT revolution spokes and the 30mm tyre is by Grand Bois (of course! )

 29-er

29-er with narrow rearend,  Pauls dropouts and V-brakes


off road tourer

rear rack
Off road tourer with custom rack, Magura disks and fork, long Custom cranks with halfstep.



africa tourer
Frame with S&S couplers, Rohloff hub and Split-ends Rohloff shifter bars. This is a 'burning the midnight oil' picture, not doing the bike justice: "She rides great! Geometry is spot-on, lively handling but stable, feels licht and nimble, loads of light in the dark without noticing te hub. And a lot of subtle details, great to own such a masterpiece"

650B/S&S/Rohloff
Ready for the first testride. Son SL with Edelux, Frontrack (demontable) for the VO barbag, White pedals and BG toeclips, S&S couplers, Rohloff: both classic and modern

rohloff cables
VO mudguards, Hetre's, Diacompe centerpulles, Pacenti rims, Removable cablestop for the Rohloff

front rack view
Rack made to measure, will fold flat for transport

s&s & ebb
All the good bits, S&S, Rohloff, White..

650B again
Another 650B on Hetres, bilam frame, unicrown fork, SL dynamo and Mafac competitions. 2x10 (9) drivetrain


Rohloff, S&S..
And again, Rohloff, S&S, Son . But now in dark green metallic and with 559 rims



rando

Back to 650B again, but now with 3 x10 derailleur gears. Diskbrakes and Compass tyres, 12.6 kgs


hub etc
CNC'd dropouts with disc mount, 12-36 cassette on the last of the proper XTR hubs and shiny BB7's

cable splitter

A new M-gineering designed cable separator , to enable the cables to stay with the front half of the S&S coupled frame. Just slide out the cable stop after detaching the stock Rohloff cable QR's




randootje
'Basic' randonneur with 3x10 Shimano driveline with downtube shifters, Stainless racks, and 40mm Big Ben's (No, that;'s not the tower in the background, this is the lighthouse in Enkhuizen)

650B again

All bells & whistles: Integrated (folding) rack, SL lights with a charger in the headtube,  S&S, Rohloff, Grand Bois brakes, Herse chainset

rohloff frame
Sort of Black&White picture, but the Ivory white is more like German Taxi yellow. Standard no-frills frame for Rohloff gears

Rohloff bike
And as a complete bike...

Sideview
Look Mum!: Indeed no Son lights, no tractor tyres (Pasela's), no heavy-duty ringlock, kickstand or leather saddle



reynolds 921
Frame with Reynolds 921 stainless steel, fat tyres and Di2

mudguard bridge
Disk brakes, so you can get creative with the mudguard bridge

bilam headtube
With stainless you either have to weld or silver braze it. I've done a black&white connection. The doubler is brazed on with silver, and the tube is then fillet-brazed in the ordinary way. This is a huge headtube, with ZS44/EC44 bearings and a tapered steerer

brakes

Stainless dropout from Henry James: There's a few hours here with files and emery cloth to clean up the complex shape of the raw casting

mtb-style
A m-gineering  E(dith)-bike: 650B wheels, rack, lights and 3 x 10/BB7 groupset

chef special
Rando bike with OS Columbus tubing and a Crescendo stainless lugset. Custom made front rack and a French styled twin plate crown. Mafac GT brakes

Mafac GT with quick release

John Williams tribute




tall order
And now for something completely different. Quite a challenge to build this with the tooling I had, but it turned out nice. It rides great and handles fine, and getting on or off isn't that difficult. Great fun, both in the city or off the beaten track (mind those branches though)



lw randonneur
light (11.5kgs) randonneur with Ritchey carbon fok, BBsl7 disks, 2 x 10 Ultegra driveline mudguuards and kickstand

kickstand
Kickstand, disk and carrier sharing space
