Love the gios.

And for the above kinda want the rest.of the wall graff to be ....'go' :)

Thats clean 👌
I'm actually very tempted by a c40 in this color at the moment and i have a record carbone groupe and some zipps to one side to achieve a similar result 😬

Nice!

Here are my rides.

Look Kg171 with Chorus 12s/campagnolo Zonda (not finished... sent twice the left shifter for warranty... failed before even having done 1m...)

Pinarello Vento with Campagnolo centaur 11s / Mavic OpenC on record hub/older campagnolo skeleton brakes/Athena hoods in white - Keeping silver and white was a challenge. Campagnolo seat post and white SanMarco saddle remain to be installed.

there used to be drop bolt to do that in the 70s.

Dia Compe or other also exist.

There are also brake shoe extenders:

Thanks I’ve never seen those before.

Enjoying this a lot currently, despite the older carbon being very flexy 😅

A very soft "should I sell this?" post.

It's been my only road bike for a couple of years and I want to go back to something a bit lighter. The groupset and wheels are going over to another frame, and I could sell and use the cash for some other parts I need for the new build, and possibly my pub bike.

On the other hand, it's beautiful and I think I might miss it eventually.

Keep the frame

I would also keep the group on this frame. It is gray-ish one that fits nicely in such retro-modern build.

That is a beautiful build. I'd be trying to find a way to keep hold of that frame if I were in your shoes.

something a bit lighter

You could get yourself a Columbus Minimal, a carbon bar and a light stem, along with a carbon post and lighter seat, maybe lose a kilo or so.

Yeah keep that, chrome and paint looks in tip-top condition, you'd struggle to find another!

I would say sell if you can get what you want for it. To keep it hanging around looking sad, waiting to be built up again seems a waste. Market is pretty low atm so if you can sell it for what you want you'd be doing well. Otherwise can keep.
