MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Perfect

Love this paint work

Really nice

This looks great

This is craving for a silver seatpost! Otherwise great bike.

I thought you were done with riding road bikes? :)

Haha, @Pawlus I never said I was done with RIDING road bikes. Just shifting emphasis from BUILDING road bikes to building mountainbikes. I live in the flat and mainly deforested part of Belgium so mountainbikes are what I like most but ride least.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I'll try a silver one, @Tijs .

Edit: you might be right, @Tijs

Better still with an inline post maybe? That saddle is a long way forward.

The saddle isn't at the right position yet, was just to see if silver would look good on it.

That saddle is a long way forward.

Not exactly. Flite saddles have the (usable part of the) rails very much in the back. The straight part of the rails isn't as long as the gently curved rails would suggest on first chance glance.

Silver seatpost is looking good, @WimVDD!

I really love this bike but saw it’s previous iteration in your build thread and realized that this is just a magnificent frame. Period correct build did it justice but this deserves to be ridden!

Was early adopter of Flite saddle back in the 90s and can't agree with you there @Tijs

Looking for one of these..

Wheels like that and you in your granny gear ;-) lovely bike

Needs a quill stem.

Hi there!

Here is my Gazelle Champion Mondial from 1974 with shimano-105. Looking forward to upgrade it with a new seatpost, stem and handlebars in black soon

Next time take a drive side picture against a plain wall or something, we want to see the bike! But looks good from what I can see so far.

Will do! Thank you.

And here is my wife’s Peugeout Perthus CR500 on cheap Shimano Tourney. I think I will upgrade it to Shimano 105 at some point.
