MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Where did you take that photo nice build.

Came with the frame when I bought it from eBay. Are unbutchered Gios forks a rare thing?

Lucky you :) No, just 1" threaded forks with enough steerer to go threadless are.

Oh, it's not threaded. :-)

Even better. Nice bike, would ride.

Little ring sadly but here's my Merckx Strada OS. Not sure about the yellow pantographed tape, but had a go at wrapping it top down and superglued in place so it's staying for now.

really nice build.

Thanks!

The place is vihara temple in Jakarta

Really nice

wow just wow! love this configuration!
more pictures?
silver crank and brakes please??

Really nice build

Careful, rear brake pad isn't well centered

Just finished a retro build with new bits but the wheels I planned to use (25mm external carbon rims with 25c tyres) just catch the rear brake calliper so are a no go (annoyingly clears the brake bridge but not the calliper).

So I tried a Mavic r sys which has 19mm external with a 25c tyres and that clears nicely. Not keen on the look of the Mavic r sys so considering wheel options with 19mm in either all black or all silver rims.

Anyone got anything suitable they are looking to sell or ideas/options appreciated.

Not the best photo but here it is ...

Easier to swap caliper no?

Shiiiit that’s nice

Yeah I could do that but I have a Sram Red 22 group which I would like a stay with if I can.

🤤

I reckon te rims look good

Those wheels are nice tho.

Not sure this is legit mechanics, but if it’s close can you add a spacer between caliper and frame to bring it out a bit and readjust pads?

Otherwise I’d personally live with a mismatched caliper. (Oh the shame).

I imagine that’s not a good solution tho.

Oh come on are you mocking us? That bike is way too nice to be posting such shitty pics of

ha ha. But with a duff rear wheel it doesn't feel finished. Its not been ridden yet.
For me the blinging pics cant come until its finished !! Paint looks great in the sun though.

Very nice.

What bottom bracket are you using?
I've also got a SRAM Crankset which is BB30, which I'll be trying to stick on a BSA frame.

Wondering if you've had the same issue?

lovely looking bike - I've got some DT Swiss Oxic (23mm external I think, 19 internal) laced to bitex hubs if you wanna swap? what are the wheels pictured?

The chainset is GXP so I just used a scram GXP BB with an ITA thread. Simples.

Unfortunately I don't think 23mm is going to work. I will keep the current wheels for another bike. For info the wheels are Light Bicycle R25 rims on Carbon Ti hubs.
