Thanks Kimmo, do you mean fugly from a shape or branding point of view?

Prevon - thank you. Glad you pointed that out as I actually had an ahead adaptor for a threaded fork I originally intended to use before I got the Columbus Minimal - which is a much different piece of kit! Ok so a shim like you posted and the Cane Creek headset and I am good to go. Thanks again. I wish they had had headsets as a subject at school.

I wonder if someone here can possibly assist me. I have a Columbus Minimal fork with 1 inch steerer, a frame with a 1 inch steerer tube, a modern Deda stem and an ahead adaptor. I am looking for a black headset, is the Cane Creek Forty 40.EC30 the correct choice? And also will this entire system actually work? Thank you

Too many colours/ finish variations. In this instance the garage door should be used as the basis for the colour scheme. It's nice to be able to see some daylight through the crankset though.

NB This is my first *anky comment on LFGSS. I hope it is *anky enough to fit in here.

Ahhhh jeez...... but thanks anyway.

Reference the world's slowest project, building my Look KG131 (similar to picture a few posts back), does anyone have any idea of tyre clearances in these frames? It's a size 59 c/c if that makes any difference.

Great post Viggen. Lovely machines.

Thank you Manc. In this instance I think the 'modern' version looks better than a quill age-appropriate. I think LOOKs suit a slammed stem.

I have an old LOOK KG 131 I am about to build up. Coming from an MTB background I am clueless about road bike headsets/ steerers/ threaded/ threadless etc. I do know my Look fork is threaded 1 inch. Can anyone tell me what exactly I need to buy to achieve a similar look to the bike cockpit below? Thank you

Sorry, another query re. my Look KG 131 - Assuming the Look dural forks are threaded, what (silver) headset/ paraphernalia do I need to be able to run a 'modern' stem and bars? (I am an MTBer venturing for the first time into the world of tarmac)

Ahh brilliant - thanks!

Yes red and black. Thank you all for the help.

I see Thomson still do a 25mm post.... in black only, which is a shame as ideally I would like silver. Appears an old Campag may fit.

I already have a Columbus minimal fork but have a feeling it would not be right for this.

It appears I have just bought a NOS Look KG 131 from 1995. Would anyone happen to know the steerer size on such a machine?

Hubert.... long shot... has this frame been drilled for the rear brake cable?

Mr Creek, a fine job.... well done.

Can I ask why the timber cladding stops where it does on the gables of the main house?

jupiz/ matty c thank you both very much. Looking forward to posting photos for a good slagging.

A quick query from an about to build an MGOOF person who is currently an MTBer.... (actually I won't be building it at all it will be given to a man who knows what to do).

I have a Columbus Minimal 1 inch steerer fork, looking at getting a -17 degrees stem and bar combo, wanting the horizontal stem aesthetic and from what I read here -17 is the correct angle? And maybe this a dumb question but doesn't that mean in some cases that the stem logo may be upside down?

I am looking at Zipp/ Deda stems, can someone tell me what 'spacer' I should be looking at to allow the 1+1/8th stem to clamp to the fork, and also what spacers to use to take up any vertical distance between headset and clamp?
