• The new Principia arrived - same problem with the hanger + it's 2cms larger. FML. Koba, get ready.

    On a brighter note, I've just scored a near-complete Ofmega Mistral groupset. Everything is NOS apart from the brake calipers - these are mint, so I'm pretty happy about that. The shifters are missing and I'll need BSA BB cups if I want to put the group on a Romet. And possibly change the FD to a braze-on one.

    I've never been a fan of Ofmega stuff, I'm still not sure about the plastic mechs, fugly pedals and the crank spider that looks like a propeller off a children's beanie. But hey, I've never bought an NOS groupset before, so that's a pretty cool start. I do like the hubs and the headset though, and If I'm not mistaken the AER brakes were used on Cinelli Lasers?
