MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Columbus Genius forks ?

Thread over

Very nice! Got any more info?
Looks tall!

Incred...

can anyone recommend a nice quill to ahead converter like this one? Where you don’t see the transition between headset and stem.

Yeah it is pretty tall 😬

60cm seat tube, (64cm to seatpost clamp) but a 58 top tube which I think I can usually manage.

As for info on the frame.. I don’t know anything about Iain Dobby and haven’t found much from a bit of googling. Haven’t had a proper dig online though.

DT shifters and STIs? 44 gears?

No such thing.

like this one?

It's a 1" threadless headset and fork (Columbus Minimal). That's why you don't see the transition.

You sure? It's an aelle frame... the build is awesome though, I admit that.

Well, I think Aelle is totally underated. Same with Gara.
Internet snobbery doesn't mean it is shit in real life...

I rode this around for years.. Lovely ride and perfectly capable of racing.
And that one up there along with the Bianchi that is often posted ( also with DA cranks)does it for me. So nice selection of components from different eras.

oh, right! I assumed it was a threaded headset when looking on my phone. that will explain it then :) thanks

I never said it was shit, imo just not enough for a thread-closer :)

Yeah yeah like it would ever be closed :-)

Since I’m about start my build and you guys seem to have some experience in installing cranksets on vintage steel I wanted to ask a question.

Do you guys think I could get away with installing a Potenza Crank without a torque Wrench?

No respectable wrench (no pun intended) will recommend installing cranks without a torque wrench, but I installed mine without one (and so have many others no doubt) and can confirm am still alive.

Edit: My cranks (Chorus) are Ultra-Torque though. Potenza is Power-Torque?

Thanks for the reply, Campagnolo updated the Potenza crank so mine will come as an ultra torque version

Bit if an impulse purchase — stumbled across this group on Ebay sooo will probably stick with the silver Rival for now..

😜

I was bidding against you.

I was gonna bid too. Glad I didn’t. Damn I wanted those cranks. If you ever fancy black ones, I’ll buy you some to swap

Strong buying :)

There was no cranks with it

No I know, he already has silver Rival cranks that I’ve been trying to steal

I see

I had a bid a few days ago , thought someone on here might have snapped it up

i hope it will be a hhsrb once
