MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

So close to VMB <3

Vintage Mavic Cosmic wheelset was replaced with some Campagnolo Khamsin CX, what do you think?

Awesome ride fella

Thank you guys!

Does anyone know of a 1" ahead stem for 25.4mm bars?

ITM millenium, ITM the Stem...

hmmm , let me guess ... one is a De Rosa ... and one is a Cinelli .... !

They are 1" 1/8 steerer though.

I've decided to try running a carbon fork on the De Rosa. Bought one of those 1" Hylix things off eBay and a replacement CK headset in 1" threadless.

Now I need to try and find a suitable stem that works with 25.4mm handlebars and the 25.4mm ahead - could use a adapter on the stem if it was quite anonymous.

Thinking about this to keep the Nitto stuff consistent.

Im interested to see proper photos of those forks, what about a Cinelli Grammo for the stem?

Why not take full advantage of ahead stem technology and get 'oversized' bars?

The 1" 1/8 is 28.6mm. I think the frame can handle that 31.8mm will look cack.

What is the benefit of oversized bars in this scenario anyway?

That is one ugly ass stem.

I'm interested in these forks too. I guess they'll arrive some time in late November.

What is the benefit of oversized bars in this scenario anyway?

Added stiffness, which I assumed (incorrectly?) was the reason to convert to a threadless carbon fork.

Hmmm, maybe. Not sure if the bars really make much diff though.

Custom black 1” ahead cromo stem with 25,4 clamp size. This would look good.

Who makes these?

winston .. any framebuilder really

Or buy a black ITM Eclipse
