MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Respect.

Banging tiles all day; build bikes all night.

I've had two kids all day today.
Wishing for tiles.

It is really nice. But isn't it just old bike with old groupset?

Going to dip back into this thread now I can finally make some progress on the Tommasini. After months of trying to find a stem I liked, then absolutely ages of not being able to find one, I finally have a stem on the way. Went for the Thomson x2, wanted it in black 17degree 110 but looked absolutely everywhere and couldn't find anything. Finally decided to get a 100mm that came up on eBay... And then the next day a brand new 110 came up! So the 100mm is up for sale when it arrives. I reckon the X2, being slimmer than most stems, will go well with the small steel tubes of the Super Prestige, and the low profile height of the clamp means I can trim down the adaptor meaning that will disappear too. I'll post some pictures on my CP thread when the stem arrives.

Yeah I guess so but there ain't a thread for that. The groupset is all over the place: 1055700, DA7700, DA7800, DA7900 and a Record headset, not sure where it really belongs.

Make sure you change the bolts! You need a bigger hex so you can torque them up properly.

Good tip thanks. Have you done it? Any chance you know what the bolt size is?

Or better still, ditch that pointless ahead adapter and buy a Nitto Ui12 if you really, really need 31.8 bars.

Current projects? :)

I've decided to never do one again. They feel a bit indulgent.

Today I fit the headset to my current project. Its going to be a while until its finished but can't wait. The rear wheel turned up dished completely wrong so need to get it into a shop to sort it out but after that it should be quick to finish.

This allows me to go flat, was £30 and is black. At that price I can change it out if it doesn't work.

No ergo bars pls

Why not?

I mean the common CP thread. But whatever. Bike is nice and I don't mind

From gazelle thread - 👌

Very nice. I'd put a white saddle on, if it were me.

Very nice, did the seatpost come with the bike or did you manage to subtly colour match?

First build in ages I'm stoked on. Frame and group from on here, rest parts bin or bought. I even like the odd seatpost.

Really nice. If I was to quibble I would want a more classic bar shape, but I'm sure they are selected as you find them comfortable, which is more important.

Awesome

Lovely! Nice wheels. ;)

DA 9000 on skinny tubes looks great.
Bar angle / hood placement is off though, if you want a flat ramp you're be better off with compact bars.

Still arguing with myself about bar choice and awful tape job so this is likely to change. Really like the drop of the ergo bars though I want a flat top. Sigh.

Thanks man, and yeah bars are still in the elimination process.
