Can't wait.

probably should've multi-quoted, but what's the difference between moskavas n omega v sections??

No need to quote pictures on the same page.

No need to quote pictures on the same page.

I spend half my life chasing text around the page.

It's the same as quoting the post above you when you're replying to it, you just don't need to.

Quoting to me is for replying to something that has had a few posts after it.

Quoting onto the next page is good.

@maximecrowe

alright, I apologise...am a bit inebriated
but they both have a couple posts after it...der

It's just large pictures. Makes for a lot of scrolling.

No need to apologise, I'm wasted.

+1 on thje wasteage

Getting rep for being drunk... Sweet.

How are the new Moskva rims different from Campy's Omega Aero (which they closely resemble?)

Our tech expert tlaflin@aol.com has the answer: ***

"The extrusion is different on the new Moskvas. They specifically beefed up the interior at the spoke nipple perch and changed the way they cut the holes to leave more material. I can tell the difference immediately when building. The old Omegas used to bulge at the nipple points under tension. These guys stay fixed. It should be a real strong rim. I use this as the general all purpose rim for everything. I just love the cosmetics of it. The ti finish is cool looking more than the polished or hard anno."***

is he selling them for more than the omeg Vs??

The Moskvas are rare as hens teeth. Had the luck, lurking around ebay.de, and snapped them for a good price, only 1 bidder against me. Cost less than my 19s from Campyoldy. Nowadays to find anything valuable for cheap, on ebay, it's more chance than persuasion.

lucky duck!

i think thats a very nice build russel! everyday use bike or something a bit special?

^^ not a fan of risers much, but they look good, also i want your forks
gis a go

nice, looks tight!

In a slutty aesthetic way I'd just like to say that I am a major fan of decals on the back of the seat tube. And yeah the rest of it's alright too.

I just bought part of a Golden Arrow groupset, I now have the hubs in this pic http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/24788d1273613200-shimano1.jpg

Besides a good clean, I need to lace them up to something. They're 38h and I don't know what to go for. They're going on an old Holdworth so I'm debating keeping them vintage or going for openpros (do they do 38h openpros?

Suggestions please.

Too true. Brilliant rims they were, both my stolen bikes had Moskva rims. On my Colnago I'd put 50,000+ miles on them and never went out of true. I miss my Super... :(
