MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

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. :-)

Fair enough! Do like them straight forks.

The forks look good on it but I doubted about using them. They have a slightly different axis-to-crown distance so they lift the front a bit (3-5 mm) and changed the bikes geo. But it rides great.

Do you guys happen to know anything about Colnago frames made of Brain tubing? Lower end? Higher end?

My understanding is that brain was a respectable , but lower end steel tubing.

Cheers @jambon definitely a keeper.

DEsign classic that. I'd love to know more about it's origin. Master builder job.

This has potential to be an absolute banger.

What wheels are you going with? Someone sell him some deep carbons.

I’ve got those 46mm DT Swiss wheels from my CAAD7 that I’d let go. White spokes though

I could also be interested- How much?

Only 150 of your finest pounds

Edit: Bit cheaper than they were new

They won’t be going up for sale on here, I’ll put them on eBay at the weekend and probably get a lot more for them

If not srs i’ll likely buy them off you. I’m just gunna check out the pics from when they were last listed.. brb

I’m srs but I mean if you or someone else doesn’t buy them off me now for that much then I’ll chuck them on eBay.
Basically, I’ll pass on the bargain I bought them for if you want them.

Also the price is the same because I’ve ridden about 10km on them

Thats cool, thanks man ;)

PM incoming

Gone with campag and fitted shallow wheels. Looks better. Getting there.

I really can't get on with those new chunky chainsets, they look godawful, particularly on vintage steel. Great build apart from that.

Yeah I understand what you mean, but I must admit that it does grow on you. I’m starting to like the cranks

The silver ones are definitely awful looking. Dark ones aren't bad.
