Bike porn

anodised hubs and headsets>

agreed, always anti

don't see the rage about this.

Looks like run of the mill anti to me.

Have I the right to find it super beautiful?
Not porn for setups but far from anti !!!
Time or Keo track pedals, a biger profile rim at the rear from the front rim, and why not anodised hubs and >>>HHSPTB

Grandfather's Eddy Merckx Professional Aero with 50th Anniversary Group

chainstay fade is so good

It's a nice bike and all that but what makes it for me, is that it's your Grandfather's.

The man had good taste ... (and a big pile of money lying around :D )
Thanks for the nice feedback! :)

To me probably the best part of the bike ... I am totally copying that if I ever get a frame resprayed!

That is so nice.

Has it ever been ridden?

Nice DeRosa but needs other pedals, seatpost and saddle, no?

stunning, chapeau to Grandad! aero dt shifters look like ics campagnolo

I had not seen the syringe first time it was there or in HHSRB.
do not like the look of the saddle.
Worth it, nice mix of campag.

ics

Yarp.

The bike is absolutely gorgeous and has been ridden with another wheel set (Mavic GP4's with Regina Freewheel + Christophe toe clips), basically the parts that are still NOS in the Anniversary set. As you can tell, though, for instance by judging by the wear on the teeth of the chain rings, it's been used every once in a blue moon. If it was in my size, I wouldn't even be considering a sale, but there's no point in this thing hanging up on a wall and gathering dust .... there really isn't :/

The man had a passion for bikes, enough money to purchase this piece and another limited edition Colnago that will also go up for sale soon (as it's been looked over mechanically right now), and yes, those are Aero dt shifters from ICS Zurich. Good eye ! :)

Gorgeous!!! ... and my size (?) :P

be nice to see what kind of Colnago it is

A Rominger Colnago, identical to the one that can be seen here:

One of 55 pieces ever built to commemorate the hour record of 55.291 km set by Toni Rominger (of Switzerland) back in 1994 :)

ahh, very nice, it's a technos
