MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Doesn't use a proper stepped ferrule for the gear cable on the chainstay so it's trash.

Granted it's a barn find but it's for sale at £1500 with a mix of DA 9000 and 9100, the bloke spent 3 weeks on the thing... seems like a fair price

I think clowns are silly. Like wheels that are 80mm deep

usually agree on proper deep sections looking silly on steel frames, and I also think the same about most relatively modern chainsets (especially shimano's).

However, both together seems to work IMO, they complement each other. I like that build.

Always had a hard on fo this girth. 😎

The world would be boring if we all liked the same thing!

You've changed

j'agree j'agree wasn't directing that at you or anyone - just my ramblings.

Aero thread >>>>>>

Look concept bike.

Silly's good though, right?! ; )

I like the Bianchi (saddle height / angle notwithstanding), Somec would prob look better with 40s.

Not sure.

I think the agricultural farmgate steel is set off beautifully by the linear deep section cyber tron wheels.

IMO.

Edit. Just noticed lack of lugs.

Just finished this build, a 56cm De Rosa Al+ with Athena 11 and Oxic rims, I normally don’t like coloured tape but the saddle looked good so the tape had to match…

That's great... loving the saddle / tape : )

That's more than excellent, well done 👏👏👏
Cool black rims btw, hope they stay black for many km's to come!

Thanks for the recommendation man.

Such a shame about the Sirius bike. was genuinely shocked to see those pictures. I rode on it for a year and my friend for 3 years before me and we never knew :(

This is really great!

THose rims look great. Did they squeal when braking for a bit or are they all good?

Also, did you buy them as rims or as a complete wheel set?

Bought as rims from a German eBay seller who’s shop does warranty replacements for DT - some issue with the hub so the rims were going spare… no squeals, feel good under braking with BXP pads… I only wish I’d waited to build them on to some hope hubs but the bitex ones were £40 a pair, again an eBay purchase…

@kjlem cheers!

Vitus 979 with sora groupset and campagnolo wheels ,nice and cheap Commuter.

Looking great!

Is there any difference between the H11 crankset and the standard super record?

That's going well I see. I bet the baby's keeping you from finishing it :)
Funky white flite btw!
