Nice one Sumo

I'd stick with the yellow, looks fully rad.

needs a yellow spokk!

Stunner, woulda' gone with campag though myself. Really love the colour

Keeping with the theme of ugly bikes, well my one (the Merckx and Dasia are awesome!). I picked up two ugly NOS saddles

.

^^Handle for this?

Must be!

those are two well ugly saddles, well done, D.! =))

the Derny motor has arrived. A Puch Magnum from a mini cross bike.

Yeah me too - but I happened to have the lions share of the Ultegra group already and I just went with what I had. At some point in the future I would like to give it a full on Athena 11 speed group overhaul - but for now I'm just enjoying riding it.

it's gonna be a display bike in my store

Its been a year getting this ready but I still havn't sourced a pair of clinchers yet (bit wary of riding on tubs)

exactly the position I'm in with my basso. other thing is, all my other bikes are shimano, and there've been times when the ability to switch wheels at short notice has got me to work on time/ kept me on the road. im expecting comments about it not being campy.

finally finished the Dasia

The release of the new Dasia Sandera... Top Gears favourite car!

Fuck it, its your bike. Practical is beautiful.

However, I wouldn't pair up the new DA or ultegra cranksets with an older frame- it just looks wrong. Try to get 6700 or 6600 on I maybe?

I'm still learning to trust the braking on the carbon rims.
Is it such big difference then?
