Elpolo's garage: Sub UCI full 105 project

So what we’ve deduced is that if you have a DT front shifter you took EPO?

The exception that proves the rule?

It'd take a lot more than a DT shifter to make that Merckx light, mind.

Looks like he got some aftermarket quick release for a start.

I am more impressed with 53/39 and 12-21! also don't know why you would have more spokes in the front than in the back.

The daily has been updated with "a little bit less" overlaping fenders and and ugly cockpit

Some news on the sub UCI 105 project

Almost finished, missing the bar tape and the pedals that I probably stole to put on another bike

An two chainring bolts...

A speed needle without padding

J'ai retrouvé les pédales 105 au fait !

🎉
the read derailleur is amazing

Bravo!
And nice touch on the laptop

Thanks.

There's some hope for complete build pics next week

Finally complete

I need something to weigh it precisely because we are very close to 6.8kg.

So cool
How does it ride?

Cotton tape is an underrated detail. I hope it becomes a new trend.

Do you have a garage/shed/workshop thread..?!

splendid...also curious about the ride.

@samrensho @BassoBry

To be honest I have made a 1km test ride for the moment. The little I can say is that the fork doesn't feel soft like I was afraid it would. For the rest I'll tell you when I have had time to ride it for real

@si_mon628 Noo shed thread sorry. That's my work place I'm a wheelbuilder

Nice! Can we place our bets on the eventual weight already?
