MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

@peter_v looks beaut with the quill. if you going modern it has to be slammed and parralel (or slightly negative) imo

I'm not a fan of the chrome fork and headset combined with the modern black finishing kit, I reckon it will look way better with a black quill and some 26.0 bars.

Agree, lovely build but imo the stem is to chunky for the frame tubes.

Very nice! Maybe desticker the rims? Did it myself recently:

I’m thinking about doing it, but the glue on them is such a pita!
Also, nice gazelle, those tires look sooo huge and comfy

Thanks, 35c is pretty nice.

My stickers came off fairly easy, and with 95% of the residue. Some acetone will clear that up probably, but I'm too lazy.

That's a beautiful bike. What brakes are you using that clear 35c out of curiosity?

Thanks, though I have gutted the bike since.

Brakes are TRP RG957, pre-owned by @amey. They can clear even more, but the frame can't.

I am honoured

This looks great! What cable stops did you use for the gear cables🤔

That Gazelle all works so nicely together.

What cable stops did you use for the gear cables🤔

You mean the ones on the frame? Or the inline barrel adjuster at the cockpit? That one is Shimano.

Very nice @tijs and @shl

I meant the ones on the frame on the headtube

They're these ones, but on the head tube:

Ah okay, thought it was something you added on or brazed on yourself...
I have a similar frame with a 'clamp on downtube shifter mount' and was looking for a neat solution to be able to use brifters

thats a dream road bike right there. well done!

I can't find a link, but I have seen bikes with a collar housing twin cable stops that fits between the lower race of the headset and the frame. It's very neat.. but also apparently rare :-(

In b4 the hour changes...

Cheers! It will go about 3 cm lower. The thing with these Cinelli stems is that they can't really be slammed (3ttt ones will go deeper). This particular Bianchi is now for sale so I don't yet want to cut off the steerer either, to leave the buyer the option of doing that if he or she chooses.

So cool ! lighter than the yellow MAX ?

expensive, ... but very nice (not mine)

lighter than the yellow MAX ?

Nope, even though the Van Tuyl is bigger. But it can only take 23mm, so that's out.
