Thanks. It's a Cannondale Capo

^^^^and the TT one ?
GORJUSS !!! needs period correct build, no ?

That one's a mystery. My original plan was to build it up with period parts but now I'm pretty sure the group will mainly be Sram Rival.
I'm planning on TTing the bike, and with modern parts just as cheap whilst being lighter, it makes sense.

That white TT is awesome Jambon ^

Taking advantage of the clearances on this. Tried on 32mm tyres from another bike. Even more fun in this setup!

^^^^ Jambon TT it and fuck UCI

^ comfy......... is it columbus Max tubing ?
A perfect bike fore Scotland ; )
What was this frame for ?

[mdcc_tester] UK time trials are run under RTTC rules so differently sized wheels are legal. (insert something about sleeve length) [/mdcc_tester]

Tesco run a market aggregation operation, in much the same way as Amazon and Google do.

Anyway, don't buy it. Shimano BB-UN55 is well worth the extra over a Stronglight JP400

Keep it in mind, but some one offered me a record 102mm bb, cranks need 103mm but with spacers on the hub it should work out fine?

If the cranks need a 103mm JIS, using the 102mm campag will move each crank inboard by about 1.5mm; it might work, but the clearance from crank boss to cup can close right up, it's not usually a huge gap to start with on those short axles. You can also have chainstay clearance problems when you start moving the cranks, spider and chainring inboard.

Very cool but quite pointless with speedplays.

Why? It's not exactly a cross bike.

Why not a 28c slick tyre?

are you not allowed to use speedplays if you go over 28c?

Cause i've already ridden that and wanted to try fatter tyres, and as i happened to have a set of 32mm paselas lying around i put them on. No major effect on speed but much more fun.

what rim width you running those on?

Not sure. But they're not particularly wide so the profile is kind of bulb-ish.

Really lovely, but you need a bigger frame..

As much as it pains me admit, I think you're right :-( My regular road bike for a while now has been a Canyon 62cm, which suits me quite well (I'm 6.4). That frame is 58 c-c and the top tube is 58,5. The Look is 57.5 c-c and top tube 57.5, so I was thinking: saddle a bit higher and a slightly longer stem. I feel really good on the Look, but after while my knee starts to hurt ... next day I ride the Canyon - no problems with the knees :-(

The difference between the frames is small enough that you should be able to duplicate the position; the fact that you have problems suggests that you have failed to accurately do so. Get your measuring stick out and check everything.

I would have to agree with tester. Setting your saddle higher to achieve more reach seem abit like asking for problems.

But looking at the look perhaps both are too small. I recently bought a slightly to small frame aswell :(

Indra you do talk nonsense sometimes

Meh, I always speak what I'm thinking.

I wouldn't run 32c treaded tyres with a pedal system that can't tolerate dirt because I don't see the point of having a heavier slower rolling tyre when a slick 28c could be just as comfortable and just as grippy on decent road while being faster.

They're not treaded.

I can see the tread on them though.

Let's call the whole thing off
