MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Thank you. Well it's put up with 14 odd Stones of Mamil for about 20 years now. 💪

A seat with visible rails would go a long way too

Anyone know how to touch up some chrome?

Sand the rust completely away and paint it black or so, there is no way to make it look like chrome again.

you could try one of these pens ...but it will probably look shite.

The only real way is to re-chrome (and loose the original paint in the process)

Beer sweats.

I never used it (for Tamiya models or otherwise), but maybe a little patch of this could work:

Even if it just stops your eye catching the black patch

Presume you've tried the aluminium foil cleaning technique?

In case, just checked, there is a 5 year warranty on frame and forks at cinelli.
Even if out of warranty, they might send you a replacement frame at a discount.

there is a Campagnolo Super Record EPS V3 11 speed rim brake group on eBay for £1250

It seems to me that that is a bit of a bargain, can anyone confirm my thinking?

Also, no sniping under me, if it is!

is it unused? if so, I'd say 'nice/fair price' as it is a 2018 group.

It's used

in that case, too much. especially now you could get a 12-speed version for €1400 (with disc brakes however, and no UK delivery apparently, so just for comparison of what a good deal would be) over here: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17384538/

Have knocked it down to a grand.

Tempting

2018, wasn't that before Campy waved the ugly stick over their gear? If it's in good nick, the last of the pretty stuff will probably appreciate given enough time...

Rub it down with some scrunched up tinfoil covered in full fat Coke. Works a treat.

Reader, I caved.

Gonna need a of holes drilled in the (steel) down tube for wire routing.

Aside from that the path to electronic super record goodness is open.

Pray for my recently wrapped and beautiful bar tape!

So it's going to be a V(ery)MGOOF, nice! Will pray, keep us informed of your progress on this challenge :)

there are Di2 frame stickers (black or white):

You might want to go this way first. Don't forget to clean the frame with alcohol before.

Or alternatively you have that:

With apologies to @Aroogah, that is a bit ugly. At least it would be on classic Italian steel.

IMO obvs

For the Daccordi?

Like you can offend me.....IDGAF. Mine was for dynamo on a Surly tourer/commuter. Your whole build is based on a bar tape you found (probably).

I still have fiddy's old aero campag seatpost he sold me if that suits your mood board. Forum parts for forum bieks!

For the Daccordi?

Yarp

Noooo
Wireless is on its way, or just go for sram 1st gen etap!
And remember that MXL with di2?
