Current Projects chat and miscellany

thx, I had the full 600 tricolor groupset, with gunmetal brakes/levers.
I wondered if the Dura Ace group would not be better, or just upgrade the crank and the rear derailleur.

@miro_o & @Breso: before cleaning just after purchasing he was like that:

For the head stem and handlebar I will buy a 26mm compact handlebar and black 100mm stem.

@hugo7: It's my only road bike currently so no fixie, and i'm waiting for a BMW gangsta V2 for this winter ;)

I guess I could put 28/30 mm section

new rims, handlebars and you are ready to go in my opinion!
black stem alone doesn't make much sense...

We're slammin' hope you like slammin' too

I put some more sensible wheels on my vivalo but made a bit of a mistake putting a euro asia cog and a DA lock ring on phill wood hubs. Took everything off tho and the threads seem fine, will find something suitable for them later.

If the PW/campa lock ring goes on too easy, you need to go with the DA lock ring - once damaged, stay with the re-threaded instead of gangbanging back and forth between dif standards.

Aye I figured I might end up in that situation, the threads on the other side of the hub are intact anyway so i can just swap over if need be.

Changed the pedals. Would like to have it with the cages but just feels better with cleats.. Also looking to get a bigger chainring 52t if anyone has a campag (track or road) for sale PM please.

The 52 will also slam the rear wheel to match the lovely clearance from the frontwheel

Exactly, think it would be a perfect fit! guess i'm slamming too :)

You're obsessed.

That's a fantastic bike @countryboj . I love the fork crown.

pre-compact shallow bars of interest?

Why go ahead when you have threaded forks? Getting new forks?

Yah man

black stem alone doesn't make much sense...

You're not a fan? It's looked great on Colnagos in the 70s through to Gios in the 90s.

I am a fan myself but I thought it won't work on that frame, especially with a fancy paintjob like that... and if he will choose to stick to the 600 tricolor.
It's all about trying out, I just hope he won't choose to get an ahead adaptor and put a ahead stem as somebody understood :)

Admittedly the gunmetal-stem&bars + silver-group isn't something I've seen often. Although it's actually how I've got my track bike setup.

Thanks @miro_o, Rossin make some stunning detailed frames and that fork crown is one of my favourite, so elegant.

Love this build so much...
I think I may have a spare Campag 52 too...
Totes jelly of this build actually.

Gone from this:

To this:

Rides just the same, feels more responsive.

Bartape/grips away from being done:

Any suggestions? Or just go safe with black to match saddle.

Oury's for that 2007 look. Neon of your choice.

So seatpost

Black

Looks ridiculous in that photo... It's not that noticeable in reality. Perspective I guess...
