Damn thats sexy, great job

That's ffing great!

Dream bike. One of my regular search items!

My mate has a ultegra c50 front wheel just a small sticker you can buy new campagnolo wheel sticker on top if you want to get a match pair.

Redundant slot is ok. Because super record hoods existed in white and red, so good to have the option.

Was Lemon D a Rave DJ or am I getting confused? 🤔

Final build complete.

Easily confused.

Had the pleasure of riding with a fellow steel conoseur... Sorry for the dodgy night pics

Shame it has so much crap on ot, there is a nice bike hiding under there
But definitely a used bike so thats nice 👍🏻

I have been turning over which groupset to fit on this for weeks. Now I’ve started to fit the 9000, I’m really pleased with how the chainset looks so full steam ahead.

130mm axle wheels fit fine in the frame and sit nice and square despite the dropouts measuring ~126.

Zing! I didn't like 9000 much when it was out, looked dated compared to the Super Record and SRAM Red at the time but it's perfect for MGOOF builds

It is nice! Did you solve your hoods issue?

(you should hold the bike by the seatpost.)

Not found any hoods. The ones I have aren’t terrible in fairness. They’ve just got that slight sheen to them that they get from wear. Find it mad that I’ve been able to find replacing plastic shifter plates without issue but hoods are impossible.

I know I shouldn’t ‘clamp’ it on the top tube but it’s barely tightened.

Not just about over clamping.

If you have to put any torque onto the frame when installing components, having it suspended (even loosely) by a tube can potentially cause damage.

Good practice to always clamp by seat tube if one is installed.

I know, I know. And I’m genuinely grateful for the reminder.

I put the calipers on with it clamped that way and I remember thinking the torsion (?) is running around the top tube so no worries. It’s now clamped by the seat post.

Phew!

Yes, pretty nice frame! Columbus SLX and Cinelli lugs.

Here one for sale. Picture setting is special...

Amazing collection for sale

Some absolutely beautiful bikes there ! Real stunning pieces, prices are cazy even for cad though !

But you would imagine with all those bikes he would have a better place than some old crusty bathroom, that textured back wallpaper has me crying ! And don't whatever you do zoom in it gets worse ....

Amazing collection, the prices are ridiculous though
