Which Groupset?

point being is that it's largely a personal preference than a necessity when it come to these races.

I think I recall Steve Peat stick with flat for example.

Steve Peat has always ridden clipped in. Those are Crank Bros Mallet pedals.

Anyone have any experience with putting modern 10/11 speed gruppos on older steel frames with 126 rear spacing? I want to keep the frame if possible but then kit it out and money is not so much an issue as I get a very good discount. I'm open to suggestions. Is this a complete waste of time as I should just get a new bike?
I've got an 80s Moser running 2011 Chorus. Works like a charm and is the bike I'll be riding the Roubaix on in a couple of months.

I've got the one with the dangly bit at the back, the open bulldog clip thing that the metal belt runs between, 2 spikey plates at the front, a collection of spiked saucers nested together on the backwards wheel, and extra wobbly mini-brake handles on the hand holders which adjust the hardness of the pedalling. Seems to work quite well on my town racer.

But how many saucers at the back? I heard if it was less than 16 you're bikes too old.
Also, unless you have teh fibreoptic cable it done go broke itselfs.

you're bikes too old.

I have 10 saucers but not pink pushing flaps like ^ up there ^ . They look Gr8.

Spikey plates = pikey mates ?

BMMF, removing teeth for weight savings?

My love for you is like rain.. or something..

Sighting of full DA 9000 group in near to finished version

Actually managed to make the cranks uglier than 7900

Uglier than Royce cranks.

It's a challenging design, aesthetically.

Reckon those are 4 bolt, or will there be a hidden mount behind the arm?

Heroic effort in their part to trump current gen. claps

competing with the deda lokomotiv

The DA does look very similar to the new Red crank.

o'rly?

Try pushing the screen back a bit

nope, even when i pour bleach into my minds eye

The DA does look very similar to the new Red crank.

Not seeing it

Dammit is to crankset lookalikes, what dogsballs is to celebrity lookalikes.

For example...

I think it looks better than the 7900. But that's not hard. POC.

I just think that the dura ace stuff looks really plasticy, I know it's not, but it looks it

Mainly cranks
