MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Can I play?

No, give the others a chance.

It was a compliment. Though the tictac focus loses you a point.

I know :)
That's the first photo of the complete build, straight from the work stand. Already have Speedplays on.

nice , love the stem

Current state.

Yeah definitely 126, this was it geared. I've ruined it, sob

To be fair it's not all my fault: the free-wheel went, the handlebars were broken in a crash and that saddle is no friend of mine. But damn it was good

I called it 'the bananaman'

This one is mine. A beat-up '98 Lemond Zurich I've had for a few years now, fork is an Easton instead of the old threaded one and groupset is 10sp Campagnolo Veloce.

Is that Easton 1"? @Jokke_A

yes Easton EC90 1" wow !
drops are to low but nice build !

5 arm campag .. old groupset on old frame thread >>>>>>>>>

.

PM'ed you :)

Yup, a 1" Easton indeed. I just noticed that the picture is actually slightly dated. After a look at my bikefitting chart I installed a longer Deda Newton 26 stem, 26mm Deda 215 Shallow handlebars (just like Lance) and a Thomson seatpost.

Liked how much spacers there is!

Finishing this 1989 Corsa Extra with a Campa 10 speed Veloce (and a Croce d'Aune crankset as I don't have another one at the moment).

great job :)

Dude that just super nice, right down to the rims, handlebar shape and stem.

Thanks, @edscoble and @Thrasher

I've built it's "cousin" era correct with complete Croce d'Aune groupset and stuff, but I sold it recently (though it's still here). I want to ride them and those old sh** brake levers and stuff isn't really what my body likes most...

Where do I find the 'old groupset on modern frame' thread?

Never thought I'd get used to them, but after riding with Campag Nuovo Record brake levers on Cinelli Crits for a while I quite like them.

Still prefer Ergo/STIs though mind

I believe we're softies.My wrists feel crippled after a couple of hours in the old style brake levers.
