Photographed here in its native France on a recent trip, along with a photo of it next to my 595. Please ignore the state of the gaff.
I finally chopped the steerer fully. I also found some yellow Speedplay pedals on eBay so now I have a yellow pedal on the DS and a blue one on the NDS which, along with the red Campagnolo carbon brake pads, match the Mondrian accents on the frame. No-one has noticed this fact yet and I’m sure no-one will notice this fact. When I told my partner that I’d done this she snorted and undoubtedly thinks I’m daft, but I’m sure it would bring a wry smirk to the lips of Piet as it does to mine. Have done about 2,500 km so far on it and very happy with it.
