New bike day... It's silly but I like it.

Very special machine. In terms of how it looks as well as the historical part

Where did you source this frame set? I am currently building technically very similar bike

I think yours is a bit smarter than mine... Frameset came from Korea I think.

Swapped the Deda Superzero bars on the VN to the new Zipp XPLR 70 bars. They the reduce the reach and make my position more comfortable. The outsweeped drops also feel very stable. Still have to cut the steerer though.

Put this together last night. Saddle is just for posing, I’ll fit something else.
The bars are a bit wide so I’m looking for some 40cm carbon bars, stem is parts bin.
The rear wheel which matches the front, tune hubs, is dished to one side so doesn’t fit currently so temporarily threw on an old Hed.
Frameset and groupset the only final bits really but man this bike feels fast.

Does anyone know about Rotor spider compatibility? I've seen this direct mount 46/30 spidering listed as compatible with old Rotor 3D (so 24mm axle) previously, but can't find it anymore and I'm not sure who to trust (story of my life).

great era of cannondale, that. I used to have some speedplay specific liquigas sagan edition sidis, wish I still had 'em to give to you

I saw this going up tottenham court road this morning.

Looks banging

Must remember to ride faster everywhere in case I get spotted.

@ morgan aye it was the golden era
Could very easily have a collection of caads if I had the space

dished to one side

have dish tool want me to help?

What a gent.
Wondering whether to source new nicer rims than the ambrosio ones they currently have though.

This looks 👌👌

What spec ambrosio? From my understanding alu rims are much of a muchness these days. Only benefit from changing would be for wideness

Ad said P50 but can’t find mention of that on the web so I assume P20
Which are tubeless, 20mm and 485g
Doesn’t sound too bad. I was just surprised to weigh the wheelset and see them at over 1600g when the rims and hubs are like 1200.
Would like crabonz though

Time for a new project

almost finished

Thats not bad. You might save 200g getting crabon rims, another 100-150 on fancy spokes. But would it be worth the 400 quid for shit braking?

Can get discount on sapim...

The grooved graphene brake surface on the LB rims is well nice. ;)

I'm waiting for the 2019 classic frameset in the post. Exactly same idea as you. Eager to see what you come up with. I'm thinking sp hun, supernova, pelago mudguards. Maybe grx double

very cool.

Nice. Enjoy it mate :)
