Late drillium : )

Looks fine as long as you never use that brake.

Well the Force brakes have been stopping me pretty safely for the last few years and these seem to be doing the job so far.

A bunch of these NOS went up for sale on eBay yesterday. They're also selling them without box for $10 less. They also had black but those sold out quickly (but not before I was able to grab the last front-only for my sweet fixie).

custom air seatpost DA AX

More information please? Custom how?

DA 600AX seatpost had a circular cross section where it went into the frame iirc, that post looks "all aero" for aero tubing...... I think lol

It is exactly that, Columbus Air unless I am mistaken. Only Columbus themselves and Cinelli made seatpins to fit and both are incredibly rare and expensive.

How did you manage that @Gaรɬ๑ຖ🐒? Squeeze the original DA, then file, sand and polish?

Yes we want to know, Gaston!

Anyone able to i.d. these or got any recommendations for rims / wheelset for a nice restoration? Looking for zonda-esque proportions

Astral Radiant

What's that hooky looking thingy at the bottom? Reminds me of a bottle opener.

Squeeze one of original DA, then file, sand yes : )

Very good, I forgot Shimano did an oval post back then!

Oh wow that's quite the spec and that frame's magnificent with that gusset, the skinny rear triangle and the bb brake. Can't tell if the rider's bald though. Is that you?

Yep, me at 22, so only receding! Even better than it looks when you know that the bb is Royce ti, the ring is also Royce and the hubs are OMAS ti. You can't tell from the pic, but the rear mech cable was entirely internal, emerging at the rear end.
