This is all excellent. Cranks work really well, look perfect.
Stem looks pretty okay too.
Do you need different shoes / cleats for those pedals?

That turned out great. Love the very smart and tasteful mix of retro and modern parts. The 7900 levers with aero routing and the carbon 7800 cranks are a particularly cool combo!

Thanks all for the kind words, much appreciated!!
While I am quite busy at the moment I had time to play around with the Spinergys - not too bad imho. And thanks to the 10 speed 7900 group, Its not only for the photos but actually rideable (teeth insured) =)
Buying new bearings and applying decals is next

Ouf, seems to be the real deal or is it a very good replica? Kudos for your build again, it looks like a show bike and a great ride at the same time which is not easy to pull off.

Don’t think I’ve tuned in since you started the thread. Remember seeing the Orlowski on double discs last time.
A1++ gr9 poster would tune again.

If that’s your resume i guess i made the right choices
Actually it is the real deal for display by cannondale at a bike store near me.
Funny to imagine this huge guy rode a sz56

Gravel bars (do they even exist wirh 26mm clamp?)
Yes but likely to be more on the ~artisan~ side of things (read £££)
Road handlebars will be just fine though if you can’t find 26.0 gravel ones.
I really liked the Deda Piegas I had in that size, and they are very cheap even when bought new.

I just took a cheap black 1" threaded off my T1000 which will be converted to threadless. Can send it to you for cost of shipping? (I seem to remember you are based in the EU?)
edit: actually don't know if shipping cost would overshoot the actual headset price though. :)

Many thanks!
i am located in Germany so maybe shipping in an envelope would be possible?
Do you have the crown race as well?
Happy if you check shipping and DM me
Would gladly take it
Cheers

Okay some progress on the ghetto gravel:
Except for some very minor parts, everything is on its way to me, so hoping to build this before fall. Hope everything will work out as planned…
In the meantime the rusty fork has received a treatment
I was also able to remove some kind of verrrrry sticky electrical tape and revealed the OG decals of this beauty!
By this i was also be able to track down the catalogue specs
I guess 2x2 is some kind of ironical reference to 4x4 (even if it makes no sense at all?)
Cheers
Love this thing already

Nah, unfortunately just some stem fulfilling the criteria 110-120mm, -17deg and faceplate until i find something nicer and period correct...
Maybe tune? Not easy...
Lil shit pic preview before i take nicer pics over the weekend
Cheers @kjlem
Edit: acceptable crap pic added
