Wonderful, as always!

Not trying to be critical - but wondering why you choose the colour bar tape as opposed to the correct handlebar tape ie the blue, purple, cinelli splash tape that the team used?

Also, I am not sure of the origin of the Bike in the "museum" but it doesn't look like an original team
Bike as the graphics on the top tube are different to the team frames and I'm not sure that Pantani ever used a flite saddle. Most carrera replica haves flites but I can't find a picture of Pantani with a flite saddle during his carrera days. Very nice build regardless.

dat useless necropost tho lol

Why useless? I just completed a similar build and have an interest in these bikes.

Hi! Excuse me for late answer!

Well, you're right about the bartape but i found only a box of it...for bullhorn and bars i need two boxes of bartape :) and two years ago i wasn't sure about the project, so i bought that bartape White/grey/black for 2 euro and used it. Not all members of team used the cinelli splash tape! in this photo i can see Chiappucci has a bartape similar to mine (cinelli i think), or the other rider has a simple White tape...

About the saddle and the bike of museum, to be honest i didn't find any photos of carrera team with carrera lettering like mine and your bike...i found only the photo of that museum bike of Colombia world Championship 1995, so i think our bike and graphics are about 1995.
I used it as example for my build :) also the flite saddle...

anyway, i think in that period the sponsor was san marco, loo these photo of marco pantani...he used a San Marco Squadra HDP saddle!

Thanks for that Robert. Lovely pictures above. I need to find one of those saddles now ;-)

Thanks to you :) and compliments for your bike, is like new!

I think I have one of those saddles, let me check.

EDIT: Checked and I do have a heavily used San Marco Squadra HDP in plain black, titanium rails.
