MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Just needs crabon rims no? :oB

Edit. (Just seen layback)

Lovely. Seat and fork angles look steep, front wheel looks very tucked in. Was it a tt frame do you know?

Mine?

It’s in bits. Yeah seatpost is going, but I think in-line is weird on road bikes. Though I do do it on my cdale…

Got a carbon campag groupset which I may switch out. Silver one is nice but it’s big boy 53/39.

Crabons will go on for some show-ponying.

Yeah the bike rode great regarding was it a tt frame no it was a road frame toe over lap was a issue at 1st when riding in a tight turn but soon learnt to switch pedels

Not a fan of tan walls but generally speaking that's a great looking bike. Is it the right size?

Decathlon now for sale classifieds section.

Thanks, went back and forth tan vs black. If I ever find some Shamals, those will definitely get the tans.

It's a size or two too big, consider it a throwback to the fistful of seatpost aesthetic.

Love it - fistful of post is due a revival

U gat small hands 😁

I like that a lot. Well done.

New saddle & tyres meant I attempted to give this a proper clean. Still need a better seatpost.

This is excellent

Thanks!

Agreed, really like that!

Looks great- what's the stem?

Kalloy Uno +/-17 degree stem that I used nail polish remover on to remove the logo.

More pictures of this please. It’s so good

Larger steel frames always seem to be that bit more supple on the road too I find, looks lovely 🥰

So many nice bikes neoretro is the way to go

Few updates, managed to snag a teeny tiny donor bike with a full Dura Ace 7800 group set for $200.

Lovely, well done 🙌

For a good start (not mine) this Serotta Colorado;

Comes also with an original Serotta steel fork. Unfortunatelly too small for me.

What a deal! I’ve paid over £400 for a 7800 in the last 12 months, good find 🙏

Looks banging by the way!!
