Roberts 1994 Respray + Campag 1999 Titanium Groupset Project

ts, if i see you riding that colnago i'll need a slap to prove i wasn't dreaming.

jajajajajajajajajajajaja!

I know the cost isn't the point, but I'm surprised it's so 'affordable', not that it's not a lot of money. Reckoned on it being well north of that. This is going to be a truly beautiful machine.

This - I'm impressed if you've spent a grand or less.

I always liked the look of a Regal.
Classic and 'racey', not as bulky as a Turbo or Rolls.

I think I am definitely over a grand, thinking about it. But it's been worth it. Anyway a final important part arrived today.

Rear Derailleur

Near Mint Campagnolo Record Titanium 9 Speed Rear Derailleur

Will be back on this thread in 1h to see the built pics then.

:) I'm still waiting for some minor bits like bar tape and stuff. Going to do an exploded shot hopefully like superprecise's mercian. Sorry to disappoint :P

Miscellaneous

New Campagnolo Seatpost Bolt

careful with that bolt, as i remember they're made of cheese.

How so?

they round off very easily and smell faintly of chedder

Ok I'll be careful. Thanks.

plus one, did that whilst riding my Dads roberts ironically.

have I missed the pedals? what are you going for and will you be using them with some early 90s shoes?

Yeah do you reckon campagnolo record titanium pedals? Still haven't found those yet. I normally use LOOK but for this build I reckon campagnolo record titanium pedals are a must.

just reading about them i saw this

If you can get your hands on a pair of Campy's original Super Record titanium-spindled pedals, be careful! Those pedals were produced with axles of pure titanium, which is not nearly as strong as the 6/4 alloy now used to produce Ti fasteners and bike parts.

think those dodgy ti pedals were quite early, a while before the period of this build. lovely build by the way!!

Have I missed something or do you have the same misunderstanding of irony as Alanis Morrisette? Sounds unfortunate to me, that's all. And perhaps slightly topical as it was also on a Roberts.

Prepares to be slammed...

Pretty sure he meant he was riding it in an ironic fashion.

Yup those are the ones I was thinking of, but are really pricey.

Use Look I reckon. But period correct Look.

I've almost certainly got a spare pair, but they are used. Let me know if you want them.

Hey andy, pretty much depends on condition. Thanks for letting me know, will pm you later.

ALL of THIS

Those Pro-fit pedals bring back memories - I had a pair of Chorus pro-fit in '98 rode across the pyrenees on them and then about a week after returning they were smashed into many small pieces by a Mazda MX-5, chainset bent into chainstay and Sidi soles cracked! the remnants were buried with the bent frame in a shallow grave under Sham Castle in Bath!
