MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

I got two of them Ceracoted which is what they use to make guns black. But it fell off almost immediately.

Ruined it M8.

Wait until it stops working, 15km after each service.

Can you paint his forks to match the frame? That would be a step in the right direction.

Remember how we used to stand around laughing at JG when he had to stop and adjust his indexing every 20 minutes on the side of some French mountain?

This is your future..... but with an even uglier group set!

Hahaha poor JG.

I know you jest but my 12 speed Campag has been genuinely flawless. Hasn't needed any fiddling at all.

This bike gonna do 100 cols. Groupset better bloody work.

I distinctly remember you chucking your last set of Chinese carbon wheels in a bin in Nice after 1 col.

Tbf the saddle angle looks worse :)

What are you chatting about? It’s at -2°

Isn't that too much down tilt? I don't ride Fizik saddles, so maybe they're supposed to angle down like that? Anyways I'm just nitpicking and I'm not gonna ride it. Front end looks looks like it could work to me.

Struggling to find a stem for this build. I bought a 3ttt status with the intention of spraying/anodizing it black. Not a fan of it though

what bars?

Needs a black Cinelli 1R

Controversial suggestion: ahead conversion & yellow 3ttt Mutant...

Big yes to yellow stem but big no to Mutant.
Black Nitto Pearl or 1R would look great too.

I have a black pearl in 110

Tell me more....

I think I need 120 really but, it could be worth a shot.

Grammo. Or that ITM stem that looks like a skinny Grammo

ITM eclypse?

Could be good, hard to find in black

Here you go. It actually measures 115mm.

Above 100mm you have to buy from Japan if you want black.

Think I have a 1A in black. < useless

@Señor_Bear He prob needs 26.0 clamp

Good point

I have a 120mm black 3ttt record stem which got exactly this far into my bars (Deda Piega). I need either a miracle to get around the tight bend, or a stem like a Nitto/Cinelli with a less restrictive clamp (and black, 26.0mm).

Probably the latter, so this stem is basically up for grabs.
