That Olmo is amazing. I have a Concorde Squadra here right now that is built from the same Ego tubing. On the pictures is doesn't look nearly as impressive as it does in real life. Especially the top tube is unbelievably thin.

No a big fan of retro Colnago paint schemes either. I did like this one quite a bit though. Really nice in real life.

Those Field bikes are really nice. Like REALLY nice!

Here is a nice Mapei top tube by the way. Here each cube even has different tones (the real deal).

Pretty special paint job on this Specialized AWOL. Any idea what tires are on the front one?

Just saw your post in the bike porn thread: loving your bike! Very cool build.

That thing means business! First TT bike I like more than the BMC ones.

WOW! Sweet!

Progress on the bike has been really slow.

I was hoping to get my hands on a Shimano 600 groupset yesterday, but the frame it was on was unfortunately in too bad of a condition for me to buy it.

Luckily I have been able to track down some nice handlebars, or three to be exact. I got a bit carried away with my recent fascination of ITM Dual CX bars, so this week two NOS ones were delivered (a black ahead and a silver quill with a flat base bar) and one used one (quill with a sloping base bar). The used one matches the frame beautifully, so I will be selling off the other two.

The seatpost and the saddle on the pictures are just two items I had lying around. The frame requires a 27.0mm seatpost and the only one I had available was a Suntour Superb Pro. The saddle is an Ultra Pro, made in France. I believe it is the same as the ones made for Corima.

That Winter paint job is so very nice!

Very cool frame. Would be even nicer with new paint.

Choice of color and headset are spot on! Great work.

I managed to dig up a ITM Dual CX2 handlebar with a quill stem in silver. Should match the fork very nicely. Delivery is scheduled for next week, hopefully I will have a group ready by that time.

Very cool indeed. Lovely combination of paint and chrome.

I might be mistaken, but seen as the tubing is Cromor and judging by the way the head tube lugs look, this is more likely a C94 and not a Superissimo

yellow bikes is head and shoulders above all other bikes

Now I am definitely sure I'am going to keep my Selle Super Pro saddle!

That Suntour Superbe Pro groupset is sooo nice. Looks were way ahead of their time!

I have decided to go with the Elite-Shape wheels for the build.

For a while I was planning on building the bike up with a modern SRAM Rival groupset, but since the Elite-Shape wheels have a thread on freewheel, a vintage 8-speed groupset is the only way to go. I personally think a Shimano 600 tricolor groupset would look really nice with the frame (not a big fan of DA 7400 for some reason).

When I was going through my pile of vintage bike stuff, I came across a very nice Selle Ultra Pro saddle (same as the Corima Ultra Pro) that I think looks great on the bike. It is either that, or a carbon Selle Italia Flite carbon if I can track one down.

I haven't figured out what to do with the bars yet. An aerobar assembly like the ITM CX2 would be most practical for a true TT bike, though I think just a bullhorn would look a lot cleaner. A regular drop with a Cinelli Spinaci is also an option and would make the bike more versatile.

I rarely get track frames, let alone in that size.

Early version of Mavic Exalith?..

The seat tube and top tube measurements are C-C. A pick of the dent is also on my Flickr here.

Up for sale here are two very nice restoration projects. I initially purchased these as personal projects, but I simply don't have to time to work on these any time soon.

The first item is a very nice TIG-welded **Fondriest X-Status **frame. It features beautifully shaped high end Dedacciai Zero tubing and weighs in at just 1670g. The frame is completed chromed underneath the paint, which is probably the reason why the paint has chipped in so many areas. Seat tube length is 59.5 cm, top tube length is 57.5 cm and head tube length is 18 cm. Price is **GBP 150 **including (world wide) shipment.

Check out my Flickr page for more pics here.

The second item is an equally nice **Viner Pro Team **frameset. It features high end Dedacciai 18MCDV6 H.T. tubing. The frame weighs just 1700g and the fork weighs 610g. The best I can tell this frame is also chromed underneath the paint. Seat tube length is 56 cm, top tube length is 56 cm and head tube length is 13.5 cm. There is a tiny dent in the left seat stay, but nothing serious. Price is **GBP 150 **including world wide shipment.

Not sure if I like the way it looks, but I would definitely like to take this bike out for a spin.
