Sure do, excuse NDS fail... >>>> :(
Rear wheel was C-rec 24h laced by me. HHSB points, looked great, ran great but honestly I never really liked carbon on this bike and was searching for years for a rear rim to match the front shamal with no luck. I sold it when I parted it (needed cash). Aero post was shimmed and too close to max extension for my liking.
This time, more campy, more 90s. I like the late 80s/90s stuff if I don't go custom next I'll be looking at a 90s frame so these parts will see me though. Plus, Campy discs are a favorite long time :)
Apologies, It's not the most buildy build thread ever as others as I am already decided/bought up!
Saddle I don't like for this build but undecided. Flite? Laser? Cinelli Volare? :D
Shamal I have stripped and polished the first time around and looks incredible.. perfect condition. Bit worn now but I'll bring it back to bling. I was hoping to find some decals but no one makes them. Will look into organizing some myself.
Both wheels have QR skewers only, I have some EAI track axles I will attempt to convert them both. Should be a challenge! Disc is caked with ancient glue and has brake marks so I'm gonna clean that right up and polish it back to new.
oh yeah, front fork takes 20c only.. just. Veloflex make nice 20c skin wall clincher so I stuck with Veloflex for the tub too :)
