90s carbon TT build

As the title sugests I'm building up a TT bike and trying to keep it as 90s as possible whilst also on a very tight budget. I used the bike for a while in a terrible set up and now im trying to give it the build it deserves. For a while it was my only working bike so unfortunately I used it to commute rain or shine for a while so it's a bit rough round the edges.The bike is mostly built up but not set up and I think i'm gonna need to put on some bar end shifters as the STIs on the bull horns doesnt look, feel or work right. Hopefull I can get it looking good.

So here's some photos with various wheel combos and the chainset I failed to put on:

And here's the parts list:
Frame + fork: Ambrosio Stelvio carbon (Carbon tubes bonded to aluminium lugs with nice wishbone stays)
Groupset: Shimano 600 tricolore
Stem + bars: Profile Design integrated
Wheels: Various (Aerospoke, Rev-X, 53mm spinergy)
Saddle: Selle Italia Flite Ti
Pedals: SPD (I know they look horrific and don't go at all but I only have SPD shoes apologies, I'm looking for some period Looks and road shoes)
Chainset: Shimano 600 tricolore (I bought an octalink FSA Team issue carbon crankset but I can't get the old BB out so i'm stuck with square taper)
Seatpost: Nasty kalloy one but only 25mm seatpost I could find quickly

Looks good . Will be interesting to see which wheels you go with.

Cheers, looks like i'm going to have to go with the aerospoke and 50mm spinergy as the rear Rev-X has a Sachs freewheel that doesn't seem to work with my drivetrain and i've put the front Rev-X on my Dolan now.

this is up my street as im into 90s TT bikes. what kind of BB is it? has it actually seized or is the tool just not gripping it well enough? i agree you should put bar end shifters in and ditch sti in favour of period aero levers. I like the spoked spinergy up front..its just a shame that you dont have a disc wheel at the rear as that would look great..maybe fake one like i have here https://www.flickr.com/photos/127672742@N05/15208463942/

Cheers. It's a campag BB. It's a bit of both really the tool has a bad grip and I can't seem to move it all. Yeah I'm working on finding some parts at the moment. You're right a period disc would look awesome but don't think I can justify buying another aero wheel. Love you're bike that 'disc' looks pretty good and that cockpit looks great. What is it?

is it the 6 circular indent BB? are you sure if its italian thread or british? if it the 6 indent thing i got the cyclo FAG tool then bolted it on with a crank bolt and washer just the right size, then used a torque wrench to shift it. My bike is a Diavolo - made in belgium for patrick schills who now brands his bikes with his own name. Its just a budget columbus cromer steel frame i got cheap but as it was a fairly small frame size for me i thought it would make a TT bike as i could get the cockpit (cinelli angel) nice and low and saddle high for a good aero position.

If you don't want to get new shoes you could hunt down a pair of dura ace pd-7410s - road pedals, mid-nineties, work with 2-bolt spd cleats.

Schnelly. Yeah its the 6 indent thing not sure if it's italian or British. That's a good shout I'm gonna give that a go. Nice it's sweet looks like a pretty aggressive position.
6pt. They sound cool but fairly rare I imagine?

they come up. while I was dura ace accumulating at the beginning of the year I bagged a pair for £50 from the states in good nick (a few years back I found a NOS pair in italy for fox for the same money. should have kept them myself). Slightly more tired ones come and go for £30-ish. just got to keep your eyes open with a fairly broad 'shimano pedal' ebay trawl.

there's two on at the moment!

and this, which'll probably go for more because of the periphery

:)

Nice. What cleats do they use?

normal two bolt spd cleats.

if its italian it undoes the other way on the drive side thats all, but im pretty sure the BB cup says on it 1370x24 = english 36x24 = Italian.
You would need a 32mm socket to go over the tool but this is the only way i got the BB out, all the other tools failed.

Re the dura ace pedals, they are supposed to use propriety clips sm-sh71 and theres another one i think depending if you want float or not. The dura ace cleats work with any SPD pedal however cleats like the sh-51 can be a bit tight on the dura ace pedal.

This is the tool I have not sure the same method would work?http://www.starbike.com/p/Park-Tool-Bottom-Bracket-Cassette-Tool-Campagnolo-2077-en
So to clarify you do need specific cleats for the pedals to work properly?

by all means you could try to bolt it on with a big washer over the three prongs of that tool but unless you can fit some kind of bar to the handle i doubt you will get the leverage, it all depends how stuck the BB is. The idea is just to prevent the tool slipping off. The dura ace pedals will work with other cleats its just that they are supposed to use the special ones for reliable clicking in and out. it seems lesser cleats are prone to being a bit tight/sticky but nothing a seasoned spd user cant cope with.

I've just been looking for that tool for the last half hour and I can't bloody find it! To be honest this current BB is smooth and fine I may just leave this particular challenge for when it wears out. My search for bar end shifters and period brake levers continues however. Ebay not yielding much results in my price range. I think I'll probably end up going for some red or yellow looks. I've seen them go for a fiver on the bay before and I reckon some 90s fluoro shoes would look the part.
