Ended up ordering Campag from Merlin.
Thread ends!

Sorry James :-)

£85 BINhttp://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&mpt=69200http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&mpt=69200http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=121243031940&mpt=69200 dual pivot F & R, but with carbon pads

your first link is for dual F mono R.

if you want cheaper, then look at geoffrey butler

Thanks for sharing. The Merlin dual/mono are £90 BNIB. The dual/dual are out of stock but they would be £103. Merlin ships for £6 whilst an ebayer would probably need to charge £10 - £15.

I made an offer to the seller for less.

Thanks for sharing Dron !

I prefer to go for new Chorus. The increase in cost is incremental (€20) and new is new (fresh springs, pads, warranty...)

Stopping is on the top of the list :-) !

It seems to be unanimous.
I searched the forum for a used pair of Campag skeleton Calipers with no luck.

Merlin seem to be offering the best rate for new ones (including shipping to Cyprus).

Greetings to the Forum

Looking to replace the calipers on my Fondriest X-Status and currently considering the following two options (both in black):

Campag Chorus Skeleton
http://www.merlincycles.com/campagnolo-chorus-skeleton-brake-calipers-dual-mono-pivot-pair-55977.html

vs.

Planet X CNC Ultra Light
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/BCPXULCNC/planet-x-ultra-light-cnc-brake-calipers

I run a Campag 10sp Record/Chorus Carbon Group with Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR wheels (pre exalith).

Planet X would mean that I will be bastardising my group but seem to offer more bang for buck.

What do you think??

Anyone?

Glad your sorted ! A proper spacing kit is ridiculously expensive !

Any offers pls either respond here or send me a pm.

Cheers

George

nice but $875 + shipping is not specific enough !
what would shipping to EU cost??

Maybe it's just me being silly! Pretty sure, shifters, derailleurs and cassette bought separately from wiggle brand new is about 380/400... Maybe 300 is a fair price for second hand! I'm no judge :D

Nic I tend to agree with you! On top of the expected discount for the components being used you need to take into consideration the discount that comes with bundling.

Having the flexibility to purchase separate components comes at a premim

Glad you like it !
Saddle now is a black Brooks swallow which in my opinion looks as nice!

Yes, it feels a bit stretched which I guess is the result of the bike + stem combined length together with the saddle vs bars height differential.

The result of that is more weight on the handle bars. The non oversized bars with the thin bar tape does not help either.

I am 190cm tall and 110kgs heavy !

BTW I raised the stem and changed the drop bars angle and it already feels more comfortable.

Alex and Panayiotis lets arrange an lfgss ride! Pirga Ayia Anna etc. Same distance from Nicosia Limassol and Larnaca !

Mario as in LFGSS Mario?

The best local source seems to be this place here:

Some people also advertise here:

Finally you may want to ask the LBSs as they are often trying to help customers pass on their bikes in order to upgrade.

Awol (Specialized, Orbea)
Polys Bikes (Bianchi)
Micromania (Trek)
Agrotis (Giant)

Don't expect to find the variety available in the UK.

Let me know if you need any further info!

Gives us a shout when you will be here!

Yia sou Alex !

Welcome to Cyprus and welcome the thread.
Limassol seems to have a biking vibe going the last few years!

Certainly more than Nicosia I guess.

Did you move to Cyprus for work??

Thanks, glad you like it!

Will do cheers!

Cheers guys. Will play around with it and share my results.
Btw Indra I think I found you/ followed you on Strava.
I also found Apollo and Dancing James!

Cheers

Have you ever tried bar tape on risers?? Will it look silly??

Ideally I would like to keep the "world champion" colour scheme going so I am thinking of getting the same bar tape again!

I could add some gel pads before applying the tape to make the grip thicker and more comfortable.

it is a neat multi tool it has to be said !

or a Zipp stem :-) !

Cheers Indra !

Would you change the stem? There is also the option of raising the stem up a bit !

I want to try a change with the cockpit of this bike. Want to make the riding position less agressive.

I was thinking either a flat bars or risers.
I may also go for a different stem (length/ angle).

Any ideas on something that will not look too much out of place??

Mate the original thread is more than two years old !
