Two gears on the front? Has nobody told the owner it's 2018?

I'm more offended by the tyres.

I bet they've even put tubes in them.

Yes would be awesome

Pelago Sibbo would be pretty much this, but they don't make it anymore. I have 41mm Knards on mine and there's about 6mm of clearance. Cables are outside, also has di2 holes. Heavy though, Columbus Thron.

There are plenty around.

Is it a crime to use Gatorskins?

Are they? I tried to get one for me to do some cross, no luck. May be easier in normal human sizes

Out of interest, what price region will you be after?

Your saddle weighs 51 grams more than 1/10 of my saddle.

Black saddle and remove the lilac concrete :)

Bought this the other day. Had to negociate a bit. The guy bought it six months ago for way too much, and have probably done dusty path on it and kept it too long in a humid place.

One may notice a strange bend in the handlebar drops...

Guess what was cut ?

Yes, I agree with you. -_-#

Anyway, I disassembled every bit of the full Shimano 6400 groupset (headset and hubs !). Everything is a bit greasy but in good shape. Replaced upperbearing of the headset.

Used some blue paint at some places...

The brazings, color and chrome are actually very nice :

Not a very prestigious columbus but at least it is butted

Gonna rebuilt it as it was for now (minus pedal, handlebars and saddle), then we'll see... ;)

Meanwhile, I'm trying to build a tri-bike :

And also a very nice work in progress. Thanks @gaston ! Objective is a lightweight road bike.

That blue bike is really cool! Please no red saddle.

I'm looking for trading it with a white one actually ;) Same for the seatpost, will be a straight one (that will be the only modern concessions for now)

Very strange for me when you have your chanmé randonneuse laFraise to come back at those vielleries

Maybe 3-4 years ago picture

Fondriest X status with a proper build... The levers are a little too low.

Don't like the headset but apart from that very sweet.

It's more for the pleasure to tinker with greasy parts! I don't have to do this on the LaFraise anymore, it's too perfect!

Nice big bike!

Stem is smal but fat as headset is too fat !! You can have a steel stem and 26mm drop bar with smal reatch !
tu peux enlever le filletage d'une cuvette autre d'un jeu de direction si tu veux fair des économies

And yes but it's a nice BBB !

Beautiful alternation of black and silver/white on the pieces !
