And another modern-on-old project finished. A Fausto Coppi Lugano 53 (1996) with Ultegra 6800.

Bought this frame on the forum to build up for my brother, who promptly told me he'd bought an MTB on the cycle-to-work scheme! It's a 1991 Diamond Back branded Centurion frame in Tange O.S. Dont think these were around very long. I've been using it to commute built up with SRAM 10 speed.

That's reet good. Even the quill adapter doesn't look horrible

Cheers, am considering a carbon fork as the existing one is a little portly!

Hot !

Good work. Very tastefully done.

Any opinions on these wheels please?
I'm feeling yes, but also many spokes in front wheel... Don't know if I like them enough or not...

That's lovely

Stem and bars aren't working for me but strong effort. Oh and should be blue. Actually, Anti>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm ok with the front end. I'm not sure about the saddle but you know it's not the pron thread.

Everything that could be wrong, is wrong.

whata mess

But it's got a sub 100cm wheelbase

Horrible. You best pass them to me

All of the above ^ and somehow I still like it.

My colnago just finished along with the bianchi

No. It's French and steel, and therefore obviously needs open pro cd's

I guess this is where I post my Gazelle, wheels depend on season and mood:

Your gazelle with the traditionally spoked wheels is truly lovely.
Gazelle really are timeless.

Yeah that's rad. Love that stem.
