  • Wow! Thanks for all the awesome feedbacks! To be honest, I wasn't kidding about this bike being a beater, as out of all my bikes, this frame has the most beat up paint job, with the most sign of usage.

    With all these positive feedbacks, now that I'm just afraid to modify it even further, as I'll probably upset you guys! ha..

    Well, here it goes, don't worry, shamals are always there to be put back on if you guys really hate this... ha

    Gone are the shamals, fizik, and c-record cranks. Campagnolo Pista wheelset and Campagnolo Record crankset are added instead, to make all components a bit more time period correct. Fizik is replaced by a Regal to give it a bit more rugged look. With the addition of al the blacks, the overall build looks more balanced, I think.. The downside is, too much branding on those damn Campy wheels! I might have to mark them over with a black vivid..

    It's your bike, we're just here to watch. And I don't think you can really go wrong unless you tried.

    New incarnation looks great by the way so don't worry! Really like the black bits. Wheel logo's look fine to me. Wouldn't removing them decrease the resell value? Not really a fan of the saddle, but comfort is probably a bigger priority when choosing one.

    Are you planning on changing it much further in the future? I'll be keeping an eye on this thread then.
