MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Did you see the seatpost?

It's a bit ugly, but I like how it makes that old frame look like a compact ;)

...Hopefully either user152270 has really long legs, or that's quite a long top tube

The reach of the cockpit is also not short.

Yeah, now you mention it... And now I have another look, toe overlap and head tube says this is what, a 54?

(This is why I like to repost a bike under discussion on a new page...)

Hey, does everyone in this thread want to hang onto the old fork, or does anyone else like to fully send it?

Love that colourway, not seen one like this before 😍

Really nice. Looks fast.

Very nice! And good looking forks

It's a fork

Man, that is nice. What model is the PRO fork?

Guess the cankle swingers on the Easton are non standard.

Clapham common. Though I do live much closer to clissold so had to double check. Lovely de rosa!

Pro forks model - dunno - ebay find, quite old / alloy steerer, no details available...

very nice build, forks are spot on

Cankle swingers...?

Where's the other one?

We've reached a forks in the road

Long time lurker. Finally got my bike together so thought I’d share it here

Finally got this out for my first legit road ride with clippy shoes and everything - relieved I didn’t stack it

Nice job!

Managed to get this finished and out for a ride. I bought the frame from a member when GFGSS (Glasgow Fixed Gear & Single Speed) was a separate entity. Must be about 10-15 years ago. built up a 105 groupset from various sources on here and Ebay. Saddle came from the U S of A on Ebay. Happy with the ride so far. just a couple of tweeks needed on the gears.
