new l'eroica project

circa'77

with 1st generation super record rd, patented '77,

and drilled gear levers

had me with the bar wrap

Parts bin build till I get the skrilla to build it how I want. Gets ridden and enjoyed daily.

Love the frame and where the build's heading but please, that seatpost is rank...

I bought a black one of these recently and it is pretty nice, and really cheap...

Lower the seatpost a tiny bit, then angle the saddle horizontally.

Looks great conan, liking the citron (flam?) and single front ring, what cassette on back?

Yep, it's a cool metallic colour (citron I guess..). Just running a tiagra 10sp on a planet x wheel. I ordered the long cage mech by mistake, but it seems to work really well. Might change from the 48 up front to a 42 to give a nice high cadence gear range. But yeh, f***ing stoked.This bikes been used as a fixed gear pub bike, fixed tt (10 - 25.08), has been touring on Shetland and is going to see the winter out as my training bike.

you're such a jauntly denial.

I've got an Arione on one of my bikes and found that angling the front down slightly turned it from an uncomfortable saddle into the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden.

Does this have "Colnago" engraved on the seat stays?
This is the colour scheme that I plan for my track version of this, just ordered the exact same decals too.

Cool story bro!

Are those tyres a good idea with those rims?

Those are MTB specific rims
