MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Sounds great - Any pictures ?

None yet. It's still being built by De Rosa.

It's this colour I've bought.

Very nice!

Can't decide if this looks awful or not. Chrome lugs, black CK headset.

Isn’t that headset brown? In any event, it looks grim

Beyond grim.

A-head stem right? If so yes black everything with R9100 IMO

Please do a CP thread about this.

I'd like to know what the process is like, as I fancy a De Rosa.

It’s a De Rosa, sorry, but you’re hugely wrong.

And no, black headset is a no-go with chromed lugs.

Nah, quill

but you’re hugely wrong.

In your opinion. @Breso has built some of the nicest bikes on here so my money’s with him on the best style advice

Style or contemporary fashion?

Weird fetish

Both

Only other silver things on the bike are spokes and nipples, maybe hubs.

Seen that one before. ;)

DA7800 of the future.

Looking good @mashton

Not if they don't come up with a better finish that will stand use and time, the anodising is so thin that it comes off just by wiping the parts while cleaning them.

Thanks @jambon

Hi All,
First time post. I've taken much inspiration from this thread and have completed my own restoration. 1984 Raleigh Team Panasonic Replica in Reynolds 531c 62cm. I had a local automotive painter do the paint work and I applied the cyclomondo decal set, which was then clear coated over 4 times. It sports a full set of Shimano 105, Light Bicycle 50mm carbon clinchers shod with 28mm Gatorskins, Brooks carved C17, Van Nicholas 27.2mm Titanium post, original stem and bar, wrapped in ESI silicone tape. For the sharp of eye, I am running an 11-32 cassette as it is somewhat hilly in this part of NZ. Enjoy!

Gatorskins? Why?

Looks lush, lovely paint job

That's a beauty Bruce. All black works well on these frames I think. A matching finish seatpost and stem away from perfect.
