Awaiting front mech , black Campag cable outer , aero bottle and cage

I'm doing a very similar build (lo pro frameset, with Chorus ergopower groupset) ;)
Do you have closer pictures of ergopower cabling ? Did you do an internal cabling in the handlebar or just under the tape ?

Love your build ;)

Hi GrosNaze,
All cabling internal, - the cables actually drop on the ends of the bars. I did drill holes for them but I needed them in this position and the bars had been cut. If the bars were an inch longer then I would have used an elongated hole in the bar.
At the stem end I used 4 holes (stronger than 2 large ones).
I will put up some pics when I get a moment.

Nearly bought a yellow one of these a few years back, no idea why I didn't!

Yes you should have. It's a really nice ride. I'm really pleased with it.
Got the tub stuck on today so out tomorrow

Much prefer Monoplaner over Delta; the C-Record period headsets always look good.

How is the shifting? Doesn't the cable have to make quite a tight turn into the bars?

Would look lovely with some second generation Chorus cranks... with engraved shield logos... and a polished, mirror finish... with a NOS 56t bid dog...

And...

Monoplaner with engraved shield logos and a part-polished finish (lovely Winter job)...

Deltas are actually a very nice acting brake but I do like the look of the monoplaners aswell.
The cabling is fine. It actually goes in the ends of the bars (if the bars weren't cut a bit I would have routed thru holes - no diff in angle)
I'm gonna ride it as much as possible until winter appears then fettle everything.

Looking great Si!
There's a cross between the two, Dura Ace AX aero :)

Longer Cinelli stem fitted. Did a 40 on fri and all ok just waiting for front mech :)
