MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Dropping my Kona in here. It’s from 1995 - built up with new parts, modern wheels and (quasi modern) last good- looking shimano groupset: 6600 7700 down tube shifters

Wouldn't it be "Old Grooupset on old frame"? Downtube shifters?

Niiiiiiiice!!!!

.

yes

Edit: Whoops, wrong thread

That is exceptional. Wonder what the tubing is, sl(x), thron?

I wouldn't consider a steel frameset without a sloping fork crown and fastback or wishbone seatstays, this is nice.

Looks a size too big for the rider, unless a couple of decades of compact frames have warped my eye

What frame is this @Tijs ? Impressed with that clearance, looks lovely!!

Thanks. Gazelle CX frame, clears 35c.

Stunning build. Are those TA rings?

So very good, proportions just so.

For horizontal top tubes, 56 cm or 58cm is the Goldilocks zone, neither too big nor too small

Not my build, but there are some more pics here chainrings seem to be TA indeed.

Love lurid retro paint jobs like this.

Still need to take it out for a ride to get the fit sorted but happy with how this build has come out. 1996 C40

R u @Breso 🤔

That's super awesome, love how the brakes match the paint

Excellent!!

Tight AF, except Italian bikes without Campy are a bit wrong IMO.

The oil slick EEs are pure win. Maybe some of that black bar tape with the colour right on the end would balance the flash of colour on the seat, if you can match it

Heres my mates master Olympic which will be split this weekend its a 56 frame .all the parts will be sold as well mix off chrous and record 11 speed .

They are campagnolo Hyperon.

Just built this one up yesterday. I'll have to snap a better picture in the future

Putting the rad back in fahrrad. Let me know when you want to get rid of that fork. Looks suitable for a 58 frame :)

Looks like it’s got nice comfy tyres, are they 25’s? Will look banging in the sunshine 🌞
