Looks pretty good. Find those hoods feel long? Is slingable over the shoulder with that sloping top tube?

Cheers.. The hoods felt odd at first but quickly feel at home with them :)

Yes slingable no problem ..

Sweet bike.

HAH! That is excellent :)

Cheers :)

^^ must say my old orange day one seemed much more fun than my disc one for some reason?!

Maybe due to being bit lighter with canti's ?

This one will be for sale soon once new rig is rolling :)

These arrived today :)

Still waiting on frame set but have decals to fit and some subtle paint touches so few weeks yet :(

Genesis day one is a cracking ride.. Not tried disc one but I've had shit loads of fun riding/racing this one :)

Nice looking fork but not on that frame :(

Reckon a carbon cycles fork would look sweet :)

Love the hubs n wheels

Thanks :) As soon as I looked at colour options there was no other choice in my mind !!
[quote=AeroRider;4115169]Do ti bolts not really live up to abuse?

I've ridden few stems over the years with Ti bolts without issue so hopefully no problems on horizon .. Think the issue can be ham fisted over tightening ?

Frame is finally winging its way and brakes should be with me this week :)

Had some nice decals made up too

Be wary of ti bolt, the weight saving isn't worthwhile if you stripped the bolt.

Yes I've heard a few stripping thread incidents :(

I have a torque wrench so if any issue they'll be binned .. I can live with the extra 8g to save my skin ;)

Thanks to a member on here for the info this arrived today .. £18.20 delivered from China 100mm 31.8 (104g) claimed 106g

Fitted Ti bolts and an impressive 96.1g

Will pinch wife's nail polish remover to get rid of decals :)

Stunning !! And lovely selection of parts too :)

Look forward to finished pics !!

As seen hijacking a Kona post on Glasgow's 'The Bike Station' Fb page ;)

...still, you wouldn't exactly not want folks to see this.

Ha yes I'll whore it about anywhere ;)

Yes I'm a long legged chap ;)

Stunning frame !!! They ride very well with sweet and sharp handling from original 410 a-c P2's .. More than 425mm would kill it IMHO

Here's my 95 cinder cone

edscoble and dron have nailed it ... Thought I'd made it really hard :(

Yes I know blindingly obvious.... I love a splash of non matching colour on some of my bikes :)

Here's what I have already .. Awaiting frame/fork/brakes

(Not my actual saddle image pinched off net) mine is identical minus scuffing in middle ..

Would love to achieve a sub 15lb build but may struggle.. Could have went lighter on wheel build but they will be getting serious abuse so no chances..

These are 1690g with tapes/valves so not bad

Thoughts/weight saving tips and ideas welcome :)

Sorted :)

As title please or stem of similar weight 100g or so for a weight weenie build..

+-6 degree or close to

Cheers

Great looking frame, go for modern Sram after l'eroica:

Lovely these old frames take modern kit well :)

Cheers guys ... I remember seeing it hanging up years ago thinking what an ugly paint job !!! Being hands on with it it's only grown on me and it's stunning in the flesh ...

Yes dry indeed thankfully and looks to have had the indignity of sporting some sort of clip on mudguards as I had to touch in paint on both seat stays :(

I'm quite flexible despite being over 40 ;)

Not quite a new project as I completed it last year .... Been meaning to post it on here for a while just been sidetracked with all things cycling :)

I rescued this as frame/fork from a good friend who had it hanging in his garage for 10 years .. I remember seeing it from time to time but never had an interest in old frames back then..

Anyway I was scouring everywhere looking for a nice retro project and after few months of looking I remembered my mates old frame(we lost touch for a bit)

I contacted him in the nick of time he was moving and had to get rid of loads of cycling gear.. Deal was struck and I also found out he had most of the bits in a box for the frame !!!

Here's how I got it and with sourcing a few parts to complete she's ready for l'eroica Britannia :)

Well will need clips n straps ;)

I know there is a fair bit of post showing don't worry it's a long post .. Frame is 53 square and I'm all legs .. Had a bike fit few years back and a 53" top tube was recommended but I ride mostly 54's or close too..

Having extremely long legs means all my bikes have a lot of post showing

I confess to having never heard of Ron Cooper till I started researching and it's fair to say he was one of the best ...

Mix of 70's/80's Campagnolo which I like... And don't have deep pockets ;)

Wheels spin well after regrease and rims are gorgeous ...

As she is today

I have the date of frame around 1980-81 with info garnered from various folks using serial number and lack of braze on shifter mounts ..

Not enough Coopers on here ;)
