Stripped SLR didn’t work out. Leveled out the Bontrager. Would like to replace the Fuji crankset with something better.

You should get some foot retention on that. Or a brake.

Looks like it has straps, no?

You are clearly more observant than me. My bad.

I could barely see a bike in that photo.

So did anyone find what is the purpose of this screw for?

Dynamo lever I thought it was agreed?

Campagnolo shifter on the seat tube braze on – intended for a BB mounted dynamo.

Looks like quite a racy frame - why would it have a dynamo?
Instead it may be for a race number, although I'm pretty sure that was suggested last time and someone had a good reason for why not...

Cause it already has one underneath the toptube. ;)

That's the badger, it was too obvious to not have been suggested before. Although in my (weak) defence, it wasn't in that shot.

Still think the frame is a bit too racy for a BB dynamo.

light !

New forks and headset:

EDIT: just got a new camera, I think I'll have to visit forum's bicycle photo thread and take some lessons.

that's really great

It'd have to be a lever boss rather then a crew boss. I also find it highly unlikely that a frame of this pedigree would have a BB mounted dynamo, any dynamo for that matter.

Perhaps a screw holding seat post in place? I know there's a seat post binder at the seat stays joint, but perhaps its insufficient?

Perhaps it's for a small #aero tool bag 😎

How light ? Why the downtube shifter ?

Late to the party.

but :O
so jelly!

What does it weigh? :)

Just to confuse people probably

Looks like the left brifter is gutted. I'm guessing it broke rather than a weight saving Lance tribute.

I guess it broke then ;)
My grandfather (and I after him) used to do that as well because he found shimano triple brifters too unreliable. Many years after, I discovered that campa triple brifters are so much better.

Never thought I'd find another one so soon, so I felt like I should just go all out on it! The Thomson dropper is absurdly ~premium~, I love it.
