Società Sancineto

Ooooo, I have to unsubscribe me from this thread. 😉

Silver, @anidel. Lots of silver for this bike

ahaha you're right, but ahead stems in silver? maybe white?

but it's a good idea...looking for them

Ahead is difficult as this bike has small diameter tubes. But as you want ahead, go for the 2nd gen Ritchey Classic. Or Thomson. I had a silver Eclypse on it and it looked superb.

Yeah wanted to go ahead, I know :)

You wanted ahead to put 31.8 bars? If only for ahead, try chromed ahead. I have a nice steel eclypse mountainbike stem but I assume these exist in -17 road version. Need 25,x bars tho.

Mostly to fully go neo-retro on this.

It will look good anyway. Can't go wrong with a frame like this.

If you want 31.8mm bars, Nitto UI-12 is available in ahead version from planetx:

But it’s 80 degree (planetx webpage states 71 degree but this is incorrect), and they only have the 100mm ones.

That clamp is sooooo ugly...

Nice nice..

Lovely.

Thanks.

Got a 17 degree stem. Looks nicer.

White tape is coming.

The side view.

The original stem I wanted to use had a higher stack height. This 3T has a lower one, hence the spacers are off at the top.

White tape arrived.

Not my best wrapping and cable cutting, but I'm happy,

well kinda. I made a mistake with the front cable. Won't let me put the stem up/down as I had hoped, cut it too short and realised too late :/

I'll snap the obligatory No Ball Games pics downstairs later or tomorrow after a cleanup.

Rides beautifully.

Thanks!

Gather you like it

impressive! well done & thanks for sharing this beauty with us :-)

Pleasure. :)

Current resto project. Sancineto frame made for French shop "Ouest Cycles" - Columbus max.
Will get a full respray this summer hopefully

Does it need a respray? Looks in pretty good nick

Or are you planning to have a Sancineto paint job?

It needs a full respray, its a commn trait of these ouest cycles. Often have peeling paint.

I still havent decided about paint. But probably something between Sancineto and the simpler Ouest Cycles paint jobs.
