Rob Telfer TT build

Hi all,

So I bought this Rob Telfer frame a few months back and I'm now in the process of collecting components for the build.
The frame's a real work of art, but unfortunately the paintwork has seen better days and there are one or two nasty cracks around the flanged areas that appear to be cosmetic, but it will need to be completely refurbished before I build it up.
I'm planning on getting rid of the team Sigma paint scheme and returning it to a "Telfer" frame. I managed to get in contact with Rob Telfer himself, who very generously agreed to cut me some "Telfer" stencils to use in the enameling process, which is the same method he used to paint his frames.

that is wicked sick.

what's the plan re. components? Proper TT gear I hope...

Yep, definitely proper TT gear!

That seattube is sick. Looking forward to this.

OK so I've gone for a mix of Campagnolo, Cinelli and Stronglight components. I've got almost everything I need, there's just a few more bits and pieces on my list. Here's a few photos and a list of the components so far.

Campagnolo C Record rear derailleur
Campagnolo C Record front derailleur
Campagnolo C Record gear levers
Campagnolo Record 6 speed Freewheel
Campagnolo Khamsin rear disc wheel
Campagnolo C Record front hub, 650c Mavic rim
Stronglight 107 Delta crankset
Stronglight Delta seatpost
Stronglight Delta headset
Stronglight Delta pedals
Stronglight 700a BB
Cinelli XA stem
Cinelli LA84 bullhorns
Cinelli Volare SLX saddle

I'm just looking for a nice clean set of Campagnolo Delta brakes and levers, some Campagnolo toe clips and straps, and that will be almost everything. Then I just need to have the frame refurbished!! $$$

Me too man!!

Wow! Some real component porn there.

Have you decided on a colour scheme?

This is going to look sooooooooooo good.

Hey thanks Scilly.Suffolk,
Yeah I've put way too much thought into how I want this build to turn out, as you can probably tell!
I'm thinking of going with a simple two tonne paint scheme, similar to another Telfer frame I've seen. Let me know which one you like best?

Wow! What a build.
Blue for a boy I reckon.

Thanks Tomo187,
You could be right man, blue for a boy could be a winner! Besides, I've already got a neon pink pursuit bike, haha! ; - )

but the original is already amazing! Black and yellow .

Unfortunately the original paint is in kinda crappy condition, otherwise I'd definitely leave it as is.

Purple. Has to be purple.

Best CP thread for a while

One vote for each so far.
To be honest, It will look sick which ever you pick.

Awesome thread! I vote #2.

Blue. Blue will look awesome.
