new paint, turned out like this..

thx
Schutzbleche... sorry. Brake is a Dia-Compe-610

New crankset received :

That will go on that, a Faggin pista from the 90's :

^get the correct bb for the crank, c-rec cranks had campa secific square taper, not iso.

Loving the forks on that.

Keep an eye on that crank, holes look a little rounded.

Back to the sensible set up, albeit temporarily without mudguards. Swapped the levers for some S500 ones and used some black Newbaums tape, I have a feeling this is going to be the way it stays for the foreseeable future.

Waiting for another crankset : Sram S300 + small hhsb chainring.

Swapped the levers for some S500

Done anything about the rattling on the left lever?

Only a bit of electrical tape around the top of the lever and under the hood to stop it from moving, I did the biro trick in the past and it was great until someone decides to test your brake and ruin all the hard work. The bit that the cable ferrule sits in inside the lever has a bit of a rattle going on, if I can hear it clearly enough over the noise of lorries and buses on my commute then I'll jam some blu-tack in there to shut it up.

Rideable now, cockpit temporary hence gash bar tape. I guess these frames are pretty decent.

New/Overhaul build later in the year with the Canyon due to my OCD issues...

^Nice

Front derailleur is at the bottom of the braze plate and the gap to the chain ring is out of the recommended range by a good 5mm. Wondering what views were on filing out a couple of mm on the braze plate? Will it be mega sloppy between the big rings if it stays as is? Thanks

If you have front shifting trust issues you must be using Sram ;) 5800 has improved front shifting with redesigned FD; it has more leverage.

@HoKe you need this: http://www.feltbicycles.com/USA/2015/Bikes/road/race/F1-PR.aspx

Compact chainset on a roadframe which needs a Min 52T big ring?

Quite possibly

Good to know. Thanks Amey

It's quite common and shouldn't be a problem.

I wouldn't file anything.

Great news. My hand-me-down rat tail file is unlikely to be up to it anyway.

It's a 90's frame and compact chainset (compact made perfect sense...)

feeling this

This felt actually looks pretty decent, but got a replacement frameset coming from Canyon. (long story)

ANOTHER one?

This is the roadie, will explain about this in more detail in a thread in a few weeks time. :/

Rides well, see why people go on about colnagos.
