  • Thanks
    Sorry bout the new page.

  • All good. New page new ideas :-)
    I think im gonna go for the Zeus 2000 BSC headset for now because the only other black alternative that isn't ridiculously expensive would be a tange or shimano etc. but will keep my eyes peeled for something special.

    Now that the front end is basically done its time to think water bottles, ive got my eyes on a couple different ones, a second hand profil aero, campangnolo aero or keep it cheap with an emmelle all black errything classic style shape. Photos -

    £50 for a water bottle that apparently doesnt even really work well is making me go for the second hand profil plus. What you guys think?

  • Winston Vaz of Vaz Finishes replaced the dropouts with some Zeus made in Spain track ends and attached a hanger to keep @IR happy. Just need to get the ends blasted in with some 2k paint and all should be good in the world.

  • Nice ends. You really do have a Zeus obbession.

  • Runs deep!

  • One step backwards two steps forward.. Sold the 3TTT Bio Arms to a dude in china but in turn got some in pretty much new condition and uncut extensions from ebay. They only bad thing is they have pads that are in decent condition. Will have to just strip them and glue the Cinelli ones down at some point soon.

    Also got lucky on a Dura Ace Easton seat post. I want to anodise it black though as I've been told it could be pretty cheap to do. I wont have to worry about finding something as nice and in black.

    Seatpost is light!!

  • That seatpost is steel so wont anodize. It will snap aswell

  • ^Steel?
    you sure about that?

  • Pretty sure it's aluminium but yeah it'll probably crack.

  • "Yup that is deffo fucked mate"

  • Im sure all of you lot are fat though..

    @B0N0R Worth £35 or should i just stick it back on ebay?

  • You should try and track down an XT or XTR post if you want black imo

  • May as well just get a black nitto 65.

  • Looking forward to build pics

  • This, or if you have time to look for a Mavic will do:

  • This
    Deore XT seatpost is perfect for a '90's lo pro.

  • hehe

    Already got a black nitto for the Umezawa, might as well get something different for this. Im gonna keep my eyes out for a Mavic 330 or Deore XT as none seem to be about atm. If anyone spots one then let me know (dibs it etc.) Thanks!

  • Finally got here -

  • In the Modolo wheel bag lies the rear wheel for this project but just need to make some adjustments to it first. Also frame is ready for collection but im not around until next week, ugh..

  • Now to wait for the matching front.

  • Need to see a full frame shot but those teaser pics on the first page make it look so so nice, looking forward to seeing this built

  • ^this

  • do some research

    not gonna lie, it looks a lot greyer in the teaser shots. Much prefer the white.

  • edit: didn't want to spoil the tease
    Loving this build btw, I have a Roberts lo pro with horizontal Zeus dropouts, it used to have a hanger but a previous owner filed them off :(
