MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

On paper the only benefit is the weight which can easily be approached with aluminum for less $$$. Same goes for aeroz, you could easily build something faster for a fraction of the price. So I guess Hyperons are a little silly

Not too far off...

brifters and saddle angles...

When I was a GANGSTER.

The only holdback factor of hyperons is the price otherwise the build quality is fantastic and they're such comfortable wheels. Since you wrote:
"Shallow carbon rims are silly" I got that you were referring to all shallow carbon rims, including the ones that don't sell for crazy prices and that's what I don't understand

What I'm saying is performance/$ on shallow carbon is worse than other options, but if you like the look then that counts for something too ofcourse :)

Well duh, that's obviously the most important factor :)

I wouldn't consider weight a benefit on Hyperons as they are few grams heavier than a set of Bora Ultra 50...
Bora Ultra 35 are almost 100 grams lighter than Hyperons.

As per catalog:
Bora Ultra 35 tubs - 1160 g
Bora Ultra 50 tubs - 1215 g
Hyperon Ultra 2 tubs - 1231 g

nice

Guess I'll toss #reader's in here too.
Bar angle needs a lil work (tho mostly the photo) and looking to replace cranks at some point but for now it works.

@anidel I need your green cages from your Somec so I can finish this one.

hard ano rims and grey components play so nicely on this. and purple hubs?

Ah! Indeed you'd need them :)

Does the modern Supercorsa qualifies for this thread? Looks old but it's not old technically.

Old or modern, these Supercorsa's are all the same. Mine is from 1996 and there's no difference with a new one.

Tyres - Are they Vredestein fortezza senso all weather ? They look great, What are they like

That's what they are. Fortezza has always been great value for it's price (here a set costs 40 €...) but for one or other reason, the tanwalls' price recently doubled. But you can still do about 5000 km on them without problems.

Edit: they now cost 26 € each ("normal" ones), the tanwalls are 44 €.

I know, but it's like posting a modern Colnago Master or Arabesque here. Doesn't quite fit the idea behind updating a classic frame with new componentry.

Yeah, you're right.

Thanks dude. And yea I decided to get semi-fancy with the wheels after a vintage set exploded on me. Turns out fast gravel rides on 20yr-old Ti hubs with a reputation for failing is actually a pretty terrible idea.

My god that's sexy (whether it's from 1996 or 2016 doesn't bother me), reminds me of the red Rouke that got posted around a few weeks back.
Red frame with chromed rear, low-key decals and black finishing kit - gotta build me something like this.
