The über_grüber Concorde Colombo Pursuit build

Hmm... hadn't thought of Starfish cranks... me likey! Cheers chaps... will have a gander and see what I can find!

Any update on this?

How wide are those Mavic pursuit bars?
They look very similar to Nitto RB-021s but somehow nicer, the bend radius looks bigger.

Hello,

moved from Rotterdam to London, now moving from London to Sweden so this has taken a back seat... also been having a massive clearance because I'm going back to school and almost considered putting this up for sale but reconsidered!

Have bought a set pf starfish cranks but still looking for mechs and shifters. Have also been toying of the notion of swapping the Mavic bullhorns for Cinelli Angel bars like these:

which would be better for shifting I think... will play around. Not expecting to finish the build before October really as I'm balls to the wall getting sorted moving.

this is still creeping forward, with a few hinderances like moving to sweden and having it hiding in the cupboard bubble wrapped, discovering the cunting starfish cranks have hairline cracks in them that the dirty austrian bastard I bought them off most likely knew about : /

Overhauled the BB that was stuck because of hardened grease, sorted out an axle that fits the cranks, overhauled equally sticky headset....

still, have sourced mechs, cables, shifters, nice campag biodynamica aero bottle and getting the forks cut down to the right size this week, then hope to build up over the weekend. Also need to try and squeeze some carbon brake pads into the callipers...

-9 degrees and snow atm so won't be going on the road anytime soon mind. bah.

Right, I'm skint, this build has taken too long and its a luxury too far so i'm shelving it. Any interest in f+f, bits let me know... Now located in Sweden so post will be required.

Nooooooo! Loved this thread!

I know but my money situation here has gone into meltdown and I'm struggling to keep the bikes I need let alone carbon-wheeled lopro luxuries that I don't even have the monies to finish : (

sweden y u so goddam expensive?

It's the booze! The booze and darkness!!!

sell your kidney instead of the bike ;) , such a shame, one of my favorite bike builds, try to stick with it!

fedea, can see you lurking dude. I can't reply on ebay or I'll get my account blocked but I've left you a visitor message.

hahaahaha

what happened there? not the same frame, is it?

You do understand Gaston i demand the credits for this laughter...

Those look like the Mavic Pursuits I bought off ebay a couple of months ago. I had to take the wrap off one side to change the stem and it was a complete bastard to get back on again so scrapped it. Bit gutted cos it looked ace

hummm 26,8 seatpost ? 22,2 stem ...Columbus

The same hahahahha

so someone bought it and went to the trouble of re-badging it? Curious.

And btw, Columbus Aelle seat tubes will be 26.8... And Ciocc made Concorde frames for them by consignment.

Don't get what's amusing...

if it is the same it looked better as a concorde

fork is different anyway. mine was panto'd.

If for you it is so serious that we can laugh at most surprise, why not challenge us?
You wana Battle!!!?

I panto'd your face gladly.

Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy.

Love hahahahahhaaaa

Je comprends pas toujours, peut etre si tu essayes en francais je voyerais mieux ce que tu veux dire. Ou est le surprise? C'est a toi le cadre maintenant? C'as quoi a faire avec celle que j'ai vendu?

There is me who do not understand. what did you sold?
I was surprised to see my same frame with a different brand, it does not go any further than that.

sorry I was surprised and good luck.
