MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

I'm thinking the black/grey Shimano throughout will look better atm

Yeah, ive looked at other chromed ones but i'm a fan of the ride on steel frame with a carbon fork.

No better time to rob a bank than a bank holiday right?

Will keep my eyes peeled for a matching fork.

my bad, thought it was 6800.

ed. turns out my memory served me right, I checked again and @jambon 's AX is definitely sporting a 6800 ultegra

@LeChef that's when they least expect it although technically it would be burglary rather than robbery if nobody's there

Yep briefly had sramano but now running 6800 throughout. @LeChef Campagnolo Potenza in black (or silver)?

Indeed if going for Carbon fork a black groupset would be nice

Cheers pal but i've all but given up now. I want to get this thing built. Carbon is calling

Thats my thought exactly

Ill look into it

^ Tidy!

Wow that rocks!

Real nice. Does it handle okay with that stem?

I like the use of a threadless carbon fork! makes the stem cluster much nicer than a quill adaptor.

I know, if I recall correctly, that you didn't have the original fork right?

Yeah it rides really well

@LeChef very nice, great choice on the frame and group 😉 Any thoughts on the ride? My first impressions were smooth and stiff, if you can have both at the same time.

Both your brake quick releases are open!

Yeah no original fork. I waited as long as i could and it would have been nice to have one but i just wanted to get it built. The Minimal is a lovely fork too, really light and rides lovely

I think it can be both yeah, and i would definately agree with you. I was suprised at how stiff and responsive it was uphill, bordering on and alu frame feeling. I think the carbon forks and 25's help with the ride but it was really smooth, even on the terrible south Wales roads. I can't wait to put some miles on it!

My mega rapid now running 10 speed.

Yeah these frames were and are well know to be great for climbing.

I love how the black carbon fork works with the groupset and the frame itself.

You and me both, still excited to rack up the miles on my Moser. Yeah climbing it's great especially, i enjoy my non compact chainset as you just get on with pedalling with very little deforming around the bb even when dancing on the pedals.

@krankers love that. Personally not a massive fan of the stem but together black bars/saddle and gumwalls look spot on.

I've tried to keep it black with minimal silver highlights. My favourite little details are the Columbus and the Selle Italia logos.......i'm sad. I'm looking for a black headset to round it off, the one pictured is only temporary. I was initially thinking Campy record, then Cane Creek 40 (apparently the don't fit these forks without filing the crown). Not sure which way to go..
