Project is Go Go Go

I'm thinking... Dura Ace 9000 and DA hubs to some Light Bicycle rims. Bar/Stem is period correct 3TTT in gunmental grey. Seatpost TBC, white Fizik Arione and white bar tape.

hott

This gonna be good.

This seems like a good thread to ask: I’m on the lookout for a 27.2 titanium seatpost for a build. I’ve been looking for a PMP on eBay, but are there any other brands I should look out for? Preferably Italian as that will go with the rest of the build.

Not going to stick some track dropouts on it?

Selcof titanio are pretty nice and not ad pricey as record or chorus ti. Use alien are nice too but a pain to adjust...

Campagnolo do a titanium post.

@meconium @krankers thanks, both great suggestions.

lol

I'll sell mine for 800...

Fantastic frame, BTW.

"The box is a little tatty" Wonder if he'll take £950?

Lovely Merckx!

Great shout on the USE Alien Ti. The recent "Cyclops" clamp is easier to adjust - it has one bolt rather than the previous two.

nice bike !

So cool !

I have a J&L one 'spare' at the moment if it is of interest?

I'm interested if legs with holes isn't

here's a Selcof

Bin the 3TTT and get the Shimano 7400 series stem and aero seatpost combo with a Nitto bar. You can also go matchy with the 7410 headset.

Did consider it but the seat posts are all too short for me.

those gunmetal 3ttt stem bar combos are really nice though....they may work well with the 9000 cranks too.

One of them Telekom frames is still on my list (had a MX Leader but had to sell it because it was too large) so I can put this one on again.

I've had the 3TTT Status and competition handlebar combo on my old Trek 5500 with a titanium post and it never really matched. Have found the 3TTT a bit more on the brown side rather than grey.

@Señor_Bear Pity, would be a very nice combo! Complete black Simworks/Nitto would also look classy and different from silver finishing MGOOF builds.
