Which forks are those?

And fitted, much prefer the aesthetic of the drops but these seem pretty comfy, will take some getting used to I think.

Rather ugly brake levers as they were the only matching pair I had, will most likely be replaced in the near future unless they grow on me. They're the ones with adjustable pull, which seems to make a pretty bit difference.

I have a dark brown brooks and an extra laid back vo post which I can't help think would look alright here, but can't be bothered worrying about the saddle being pinched. Maybe I need a beater brooks.

Engima tapered fork, which upon closed inspection is exactly the same as the Columbus Fel right down to the weight.

Argos is noice

Bought this for a mate today, it's lovely overall and the Campagnolo Avanti groupset is great.

I want to swap the stem out for a silver one and put black bar tape on it. Also need to sort out the pedals, I guess they'll be replaced with modern clipless pedals. Or can I still get cleats for those things?

Black stem is à la mode for the period

Thanks for that!

been tinkering on my partner's fbm sword...a set of old school bars to replace the risers, offering her a more upright position on a bike she knows is too big for her (but she loves so much)

Grandma style is the new columbus max.

Summer build, this sounds like a "definitive build" except the rear hub who should be a Campa Record Pista.

Happy with the fluo parts matching the stickers.

very, very nice!

Good to see correct bar angles In CP...

Drilled chainring... Nice

Stunning!

I've been fiddling the 695 around while I'm waiting for the final bits to come (replaced BB65 bearings in the meanwhile) and finally complete the build.
Red or black cables? If red, black or red tape? (pls don't say white)

White

breso, bit of a random question
but what camera do you use for your bike shots? all your pictures look great

I'm using an old canon 1000d, with either a 55-250mm or recently a fixed 100mm lens

all you pictures look great

Gonna say.
I'd go black tape fo sho.

@HACHA looks so good.

Yeah, I think black tape/red cable will be ideal ;)
Here's a little more teaser shots (Praxis standard classic chainrings coming this week):

Obligatory lack chain/cables comment

If red, black or red tape?
