Amazing bike, no doubt! Please get more pictures of his collection and upload them somewhere on here if the owner doesn't mind. Running a single chainwheel and keeping the front mech on is a bit of a fail ;)

It's a replica/tribute bike to the one Ian Cammish road.Story here

Great work on the rear Mavic mech too

How does the shifting work? Rear mech but no visible shifter?

so it can only turn right?

no U turn jaap

On first impressions it looks good, until the eye hones in on the details and the familiar Nob aesthetic reveals itself: "gilding the lilly" with bells, whistles and er... knobs on (and anything else too much money can buy).

Do you two have the same crack dealer, or did you post these here by accident whilst looking for the "conclusive evidence that matchy-matchy is a certain way to fuck-up a nice frame" thread?

Appalling.

Just appalling.

Really, just terrible.

What do you know about matchy-matchy colors?

That Somec is spectacular.

FTFY:

Are all the Mosaic in Titanium like the one I have posted last page ?

Admittedly the bottechia would look a lot better with plain white bartape and saddle and a silver seat post, not sure why it didn't bother me initially. Other than that I really like it, it's nice to see a bottechia with a mavic group instead of the usual c-record and unlike many others I like the modolostyle brake levers.
That somec on the other hand looks horrible imho cause it looks like somebody just threw a bunch of money at it without having a coherent theme for the build.
ed: btw apparently I'm not the only one who likes the bottechia: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=349401

I like Scilly.Suffolk and the Bottechia ; )

should have fixed the skewer, tire labels and lever position as well..

^ lever position is perfect !!!

Ha!

The frameset is spectacular, but the build is horrible and trying to match the tape to the headset to the decals was a fools errand.

Coloured tyres might have saved it though...

Yes, love the Mavic and the Modolo.

But the tape, saddle and cages kill it: too busy and distract from the frame.

I like Scilly.Suffolk and the Bottechia ; )

Me too! :0

I agree about the bartape & saddle but I don't mind the cages. The yellow valve caps are unneccessary, too. But still, calling it terrible and appalling is an undue exaggeration imho. The saddle is still a flite and the angle is fine, the bars are wrapped accurately and the overall build proves that the builder paid a lot of attention to little details. If you havent you should really check out the details of the frame since it's a columbus MS Bottechia equipe and the level of detail is second to none. That Somec on the other hand, with the brooks saddle and the bar angle fail and those horrible golden shamals is something else...
