How did you drill the Alpinas yourself? I'm contemplating drilling my alpinas and would love some advice. Absolutely lovely build, Eingang by the way.

Your Alpina are different and may require a different process, I know for example some of the modern forks have what looks to be a pull or lunch through hole in them.

Uh, yeah. On closer inspection I noticed that there seems to be a screw or a bit of metal going through the fork crown. And there seems to be a small circular indentation at the back of the crown

same as mine which was bought this year.
start drilling with the back with a small drill and then go bigger and bigger, 8 should be the last size. front is beeing tricky as you need a straight line for the end. last drill should be a 5 drill. then the screw comes also out.

i ended up with 7 in the front to get a straight line, but don't worry as it works well and save.

i second eingang. did it also to mine, albeit with a pillar drill. once you get the screw out the work is done.

I love this frame, very nice set up!

bought a 49t sugino mighty competition chainring from japan, will see how the old campa style chainring looks like with the black omnium on this build.

last change in the set up. sugino mighty competition 49t chainring and clear oury grips.

bike will be stored in my bike box in the basement till next spring.

looks awesome man! i prefer that shape to my dolan

crank & chainring somehow optically wont fit together (my 2 cents)

No way, yours is definitely more desirable than a seta.

i know and to be honest, the seta is more hanging instead of riding around. i was just interested to see how an old campa-style silver chainring would look like with the modern black crank.

i also think that i will sell the bike with the beginning of spring next year as i don't really ride fixed anymore especially as the cartilage in my right knee is badly injured.

why thank you. still need some new tyres..

Crank and chainring looks good together.
Thought clear oury grips and that the picture is taken from low height makes
it look not as desirable.
Love it anyway.
