Just out of curiosity,shouldn't they be angled up a bit?

Dunno, mostly a matter of personal comfort... Marco say turn them up, most others say low & flat

I look for the Rear Shamal...

All I miss is a nice Bartape a C10 chain and I wonder if the 11S do the trick

That's some cool bartape, what is it? Bit excessive on the electrical tape though

11-speed chain will be fine on a 10-speed transmission.

Thanks Tester

Unexpected ebay win. Been lusting for a neo retro build for some time though so this should make a good foundation.

Very nice. That seller somehow always has some amazing frames

Yeah the Mercxk Strada he's selling currently is pretty sweet.

nice Duell, how mutch did you pay for it ? what is the thing on the BB ?
SLX ?

About £200. Slx and cinelli bb shell.

This is not the deal of the year but it remains a well finished framework.
I love SLX but it's not the best for a neo retro road bike IMO it's nicer for a town daily bike

Cinelli Campione Del Mondo drops, 1R stem
Stronglight A9 headset
CXP 30,12 or Open Pro 28h
Campag 9/10 all over it.

Wow yearrr ! what's the plan ?

Stripping the Coppi and putting the 11 speed ultegra on this frame. Rebuild Coppi with a 9 speed record titanium I have.

Brilliant idea ! wowwww !

Thanks! I was going to have it resprayed but it is in far better state than seller told me. Paid 280€ shipped.

Sick Flames tourer rebuild #3. Went shopping. So far so good.

Handles way better with the new fork.

Needs a black wald 137 for proper shopper duty. Also, now you have flat bars you may as well get some of these to match your mech and you'll be able to actually stop

Putting a rear brake cable in will probably help too...

Wald will being going on after we finish moving.

I was watching a few pairs of those on eBay recently but I'm not convinced vees will clear mudguards :/

Those parallel push XTR brakes are the worst V-brakes ever.

Agreed! They rattle and make awful squeal & vibration noises in use.

Just like my cantis
