MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Fantastic 👍. Got to like a Chesini 😍

That's lovely that is.

Very nice. Need to sort the handlebar angle though

Nice build, looks very purposeful.

Has it been resprayed? Be nice to see it with a bit of colour to break up the monochrome, Columbus decals might work well.

Thanks, indeed the frame was fully cleaned to bare metal and recoated by a professional. I think I will add few decals from Basso to make it less monochrome...

Lovely colour

One of the few examples where a stem matching the paintwork looks good.

Thank you all :)

Quick releases on your ergopowers are open in these photos ;)

It's a classy bike!

New stem, the silver one cracked at the hinge 🤯 (open face stem).

Also testing out the spare wheelset

This is really perfect, great job

That stem ruins it a bit for me tbh

Cheers mate!!

I also prefer silver stem. This 3t mutant is the only spare I got, got my eye on grammo but hell its damn pricey

Get an “Eddy Merckx” panto stem.
Grammo is too flexy for a MAX frame and will cost more.

Nice build! Stem is good, adds character.

@davidual yup, also been looking for one in 120mm
@ayrton haha thanks!

my other merckx molteni replica also in modern centaur 11 with athena crankset

Very nice.

Trim that steerer.

This is quite excellent.

Nice. I think I’d have to desticker the wheels if that were mine.

Seatpost ID ?

They're pretty thoroughly clear-coated on. Might get messy, otherwise I would agree!

Where did you find a Gios fork with a long enough steerer?
