MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Lovely frame beautiful filet brazing
Belonged to my other 1/2 & I sold it on here last year

It's a masterpiece really. Something I genuinely appreciate. For once I didnt really haggle on price as I just didnt want to lose it! I just don't get my brothers crabons... a bit like my love of mechanical watches I "get" something with a soul. Its commuting days are over!

Always good to see another Ron. Bet it rides a treat.

Just amazing. What a fab picture. Theres a wonderful interview here... starts about 44 seconds, after some odd foreign woman.

Yes I am a big steel fan & this is a very nice frameset
It was originally built up with campagnolo 8speed group
Glad it’s now getting some love

It's still contemporary, and doesn't date at least to my mind, thats why it works with a modern groupset. I'm sure Ron would've approved!

Is that delboy and Rodney?

My mate did this with silver. I personally don’t think black would be right on this frame

The small green Ron Cooper from is real nice

Didn’t see it at first. Now cannot unsee

I've fucked up a little bit with it's colour

Getting there. Sadly I don't get to keep the wheels.

Does anyone know of a very short quill adapter? There is a lip in the headtube that stops me getting it as low as I'd like.

And yes I know I should use a quill stem

I can post it there?

That looks fast as fcuk

That's a beaut.

My 1996 Cinelli Supercorsa. Came without forks but these straight Genius do fine. Like the ride of this bike. Sorry for bad picture.

Nice build .bartape a bit load for the look off the bike .

Thanks. I took the bartape because most of my other bikes (mostly neo retro builds) have black or white tape. :-)

PS: Like your Saronni Master.

Lovely, but those FSA chainrings kinda ruin it for me. They're just so unsightly in my opinion. Maybe some traditional shaped ones?

I understand sometimes we need a change i went all out and did a carbon build .but still love my steels;-)

You're right about them rings. I recently bought the silver Rival crankset but it came without rings. And as I was eager to ride the bike, I mounted what I had in the spares box. :-)
