Somec, Eddy Merckx, Casati, Albuch Kotter, 2x Sancineto, Rossin

So the last few months I have been busy with finishing my Somec, this is really my dreambike it took me a very long time to find one thats just perfect. It’s going to be fully equiped with Campagnolo C-Record group including campy Sheriffstar hubs. In the meanwhile I have found 4 other bikes (frames) :

• Casati Monza SPX
  
• Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra TeVeblad
  
• Eddy Merckx MX-Leader (more pictures coming up)
  
• Albuch Kotter
  
  

The Eddy Merckx TeVeblad is going to be equiped with Mavic 1000 SSC group, the MX-Leader is already complete with 2nd generation Campagnolo Chorus, the Casati I just received today so I’m not sure and the Albuch Kotter will be fitted with Shimano Dura Ace 7400.

Oh man, so nice. Love the paint job on the Kotter.

I wish i had a wall like that...

Amazing frames you've got there, can't wait to see the building process.

Croce d’Aune delta’s, headset and front derailleur already found for the Casati. Still looking for the : Croce d’Aune crank, rear derailleur, hubs, pedals and seattube.

That Leader would look better as a Neoretro with Chorus Carbon with a 5-arm crank on 50mm-ish carbon rims with gumwalls. Proper hhsrb potential there.

The gumwalls are coming up ;)

MX-Leader is also done, my first long distance roadbike. Rides super smooth!

That's such a tidy build, wouldn't change a thing.

I know they're no forum favorites (courtesy of the deep V fad) but a set of shamals would looks ace on this machine.

Yeah I have a shamal set but it's my training bike and riding 16 spoke shamals over cobbles here in Belgium freaks my the fuck out :D

Hah I know that feeling, I own the 12 spoke version, always scanning for potholes.

This one has a set, love the sound they make at high speed

Are those hands engraved?

Yes! I had the complete group engraved by Somec. The hands is the symbol of my hometown, Antwerp

Here's another hand

Haha nice! That is going to look amazing finished.

Absolutely stunning, always lusted after a somec, good work!

Thank you ;)!

Oh, the cobalto brakes... !
Those hands are awesome, was that a special edition of a Campy grouppo or they were engraved later?

The little hands are the symbol of my hometown Antwerp. I had the complete group pantographed by Somec

Just out of curiosity, would you consider sharing the price for the pantographing?

Ofcourse! It was 160€ including shipping for the whole group excluding the brakes

Superb! Nice touch!

Cheers!
