sell it to tv and buy a frame fit for the purpose with the proceeds.

Need to study this.

I think I'd be ok with the clearances, if not 100% ideal. Any more details on the provenance of the frame?

All moot though, if this guy fails to sell on ebay and comes back to me: http://www.lfgss.com/post2441287-1.html

I might have something for you. Will let you know within the next few days ;).
Thank you.

*Details.

I'll have the decals too, tubing and full set.

Nuknow, I very much fancy that stem on the Ottadini.. What length is it? Do you still have it?

Sorry, which one? The 3ttt pro Chrome?

Rodolfo, the Cinelli xa? if nuknows no longer got it, I've got one the same I'm about to remove from a bike to swap for shorter... it's 120mm.

My XA is 115mm

No, the 3ttt..:)

Thanks though..

the 3ttt is pretty sexy!

These are 28c
(sorry for the seatpost dumbness, but the ST needs reaming.

I say it's got schweet clearances. Well, no HS there.
this is it atm.

Ooh, I'd ream your seattube.

Great - let me know what you decide to do.

Ooh, I'd ream your seattube.

I have Martin for that. Cheers though.

Hi All! Moving this over from another thread.

this is version 0.8 of my new bike - I plan to finish it with a full athena groupset. will be updating the progress here as i upgrade!

0.8 version specs are as below

headset and BB - Ofmega - i think im happy with these. ideally campagnolo, but have other priorities.
frame - Bianchi 58.5cm
seatpost - kalloy black - i want to use an athena seatpost eventually, but really do like the look of a black seatpost.... but will have to give way!
stem - ritchey quill - im happy with this.
cranks - athena 2nd generation
front derailleur - shimano - to become athena
rear derailleur - athena 2nd generation
shifters - athena 8 speed indexed
wheels - open sup to shimano 600 - i have an athena to omega wheelset waaiting to be mounted... yeah! but might keep the shimano set for the winter.
bars - some bars i found somewhere - i love these bars.
breaks - shimano 600 at the moment. I want them to be athena, but i heard they are very expensive, so probably will come last...

here are some pictures
they are taken with my amazing samsung phone camera!

i know non driveside pictures are bad... they are athena 2nd gen. cranks. very pretty.

one day it will be full athena! the shifters, cranks and rear derailleurs are as of now
oh and an athena wheelset, once spring comes...

saddle was a birthday present from the missus :)

i love these bars

Thank you!

Looks very similar (seatstay style and nag' track ends) to mine. It looks like it's seen some keirin action?

CEYA, is that full Suntour Superbe I spy there?

Not quite, Suntour SSP crank, Suntour Sprint hubs and Suntour Superbe BB.

The RAP below is full Suntour Superbe and Superbe Pro mix .

Bottom bracket, cog, lock ring, chainring, hubs, seat post, headset, and pedals.

BLB custom made frame - La Piovra with spirit tubing and colour of my choice.
Will have to wait for insurance payout before I can afford to build it up.

Yeah, what size is yours? I had this one for about 2 yrs now sitting collecting dust.

Its has been raced a few yrs.

Here is my older one 55 c/t x 54.5 c/c , this is being done up too.

It will be FULL 7600 Dura Ace Keirin race set up. Tires and all .

S/F,
CEYA!

Mine is 55x55 and never been raced (AFAIK).

I'm just sorting it out with 3ttt stem and bars so I can start using it at Newport Velodrome (my closest track). Apologies to the sensitive for the completely non-NJS setup!
