MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

/\ Going on my Serotta and then ideally also on my Look

Any of the deda rhm bars would surely be the choice then? I really rate ritchey evocurve though as the slightly flattened and swept back tops are super comfy and the drop shape is great. Not sure how they play with campagnolo shifters as I’ve only ever run shimano.

I like carbon bars as they seem to dial out a lot of the road buzz. I dont think there's a huge amount in it from a weight perspective.

I'm not putting out any power that will worry any stem, and wiggle seem to have some deals on the last generation of Deda stems. Although the superleggera does look nice, the difference is probably enough for you to get one of the regular ones painted.

Got a pair of these off eBay (different seller), and they are nice: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Shimano-PRO-Vibe-Road-Bike-Handlebar-Drop-Bar-31-8mm-x-40cm-Compact-fits-Di2-/273116820506

Thanks! Still dialing in position, but the first ride was sublime. My first steel bike and I'm smitten.

Superleggera stems are a great choice for MGOOF builds as they're nice and slim.
So are Extralite but they're $$$.

The carbon Superleggero compact drops are a very similar shape to the Piegas (same reach and drop as far as I can remember) and I've seen one or two newish ones going on ebay for around £100. They can be found if you're patient.

For those interested in 26mm compact bars and campag hoods.

This a side on the Nitto M109a and Super Record 11 .

I like this bar. V similar to mine.

I got the same bars recently but in silver. I love them. Work perfectly with my athena shifters.

Ritchey carbon wcs 4axis would be a nice stem for you if you can find a good price. The shape is slim and goes well with steel frames.

Getting a Dalí vibe from that photo 👍

Thanks for all the suggestions, going with Deda sl stem and some Deda zero bars

I think I have a 110mm Deda SL stem going free if you're interested? Will have a dig around...

Was shopping around for silver bars, and didn't want a massive drop. Adding to the list someone posted here earlier:

Nitto 106 are nice on steel builds

I also like the Cinelli Neos For carbon bars & matching stem seatpost combo

Nitto M186's too. 122 drop.

I got some 42cm for sale that are too big for me which im gutted about. Feel free to pm if you're interested. Would love to swap for some 38's or poss even 40's, but that's wishful thinking.

Look like this (not my bike):

That Trek is good!

yeah it's amazing. An old re-post but think it belongs to member Carabo.

love this.

Which one?

Sorry, if you hit the 'in reply to' bit it shows you which post. But I meant the Look. I even prefer it to your serotta (and I love serottas - also got one).

edit @ghostface

Woah, twelve years on the forum and I never knew that! Thanks!

Yep, was mine!

Frame was sold on here, forks too (now stripped).
