In a surprising turn of events Superstar sent out a new hub f.o.c despite it being well out of warranty. On my desk in less than 4 days after breaking the old one. A bit of shame they don't do gunmetal ones anymore though. New hub now built back up with the old rim/spokes.
Pulled the GB out of the spare room ready for summer and had a bit of a tidy.
New inline post to replace the set back.
Removed the orange rim stickers.
Polished the visible bits of the black bars to match the rest of the finishing kit. A very satisfying job, especially because you can't get Piegas in silver.
Just needs a good clean (mainly cassette and chain!), then some better photos and plenty of riding. It's ratty and tatty but one of my all time favourite bikes, a lifelong keeper.
