Have the 11s centaur, and 10s is nicer looking on every front:
-full alu shifters
-full alu rear derailleur
-skeleton brakes
-5 branch crank

11s only has the easier gears...

I've stopped watching gcn but i see Alex's builds every now and again, its funny because they are always almost good and then turn out bad somehow.
And ok we're all overly obsessed on this forum but my my doesn't he half overspend on parts !

I wonder how long they will continue to try to get mileage out of that format: older bike vs modern bike (albeit with different riders on each one). Seems to be all they put out these days, I'm not sure how anyone is still watching...

Yeah, GCN is boring as fuck, all sizzle and no sausage.

Nice. Bought a really banged up one of this exact model ages ago and still going strong after a fix, despite many ups and downs - really solid frames. Much easier to find a new fork in smaller sizes if you need to too!

I mean if they actually did it properly i think it could be interesting, they're obviously trying to get people like us forum goers into the channel but it just feels rushed each time.

I mean we've seen the format work a million times with cars and furniture on tv for years so its not as if its a format that doesn't work, its just not done to the best potential i think.

What's the max tyre size out of curiosity?

Back in Bristol on Fri and will take pic. Currently got 30mm corsa controls on narrow rims on there, and limit is brake

Edit: mine acquired without fork, and on my size 61 I have a Columbus Grammy slim which is toight as a toiger but with smaller sizes, futura sl would prob be much better

Selling my Eddy merckx Professional frame size 56 in a Beautiful baby blue will Include new campagnolo chrous headset and a shimano areo seatpost .and a dura ace BB.

MGOOF wip
Silver Centaur cranks in 170mm seem to be out of stock (eu). looking for advice which alternatives could look good on this. preferably available as compact and even better if shorter than 170mm

specialites TA carmina is very nice!
155mm, 165mm, 167.5mm,170mm...
And you have all the chainrings you want.
Sugino/stronglight alternatively, but theoretically not "campagnolo" format.
Centaur silver still available in 172.5, or in Condor in 170mm 52/36

I have a shim600 double for spare, i think with rings 52 42 48 and 38 last ounce barely used,
Collect in maastricht ;) or ship, it has the 170 arm lenghts

Edit 6207 or as known ex types

...

Ignore single, is double. If you can hack square-taper bb, that is..
