Almost finished this project. Colnago Super Pista with c-record/shamal pista. The frame served as danish track champion Hans Henrik Ørsteds training bike in the 80's.

Hot.

This is my current project just waiting for the groupset...

Looking* forward to seeing this built. It's going to be a total logo eye-riot :) Make sure you get a big logo Deda stem and one of the San Marco's with the logo printed BIG across the saddle!

What grouppo you putting on it? Needs campag imo..

*pun intended

Frame logos are much more restrained than my 585 Ultra

Indeed, but still nothing compared to the vast majority of tt machines including my Q Roo!

Ooh logos! Can I post a pic of my 595 again?

Toby taking on Benjammin with the dopest 2 bikes on here.

And am jealous of someone else's GT again!

I think you might get away with it...

Who makes those wheels?

Hed?

Not a real project, but got this:

Now to make it lighter. Needs cabr0n.

Forum member number6 just helped me build up this beauty. Not fixed but lovely all the same. It's a carlton mixte from 1950s I think. Still has lots of the original paintwork left. :) Rides like a dream.

This is handsome!

Now to make it lighter.

Remove decals from top tube - that will knock a kilo off

groan.

Thought you were getting a comfortable Sunday road bike....?

Can't get more comfortable than armrests.

preuss

got written 'dangerous' all over. like it! wonder if tt position would improve with a straight seatpost

and crank_girl - absolutely lovely bike. I could imagine comfort would even improve with the the seat horizontal (or the bars flipped)

Gaston FR I love your taste in bikes that is f'in great

Not my CP, but my dad just got one of those clever new SRAM 2-speed automatic hubs. I have to say I am fairly impressed with the smoothness of the changing, although I would prefer it to change at a slightly higher cadence in both directions. There feels like a certain amount of hysteresis which I guess is necessary to stop jumping. He's very happy with it on his new pompino for his 5-mile, kingston bound commute.

I'm interested to hear this, had bad luck with the SA 2 speed.
