Great looking bike, well done.Wingnut wrote:Started training again the other day...forgot how much I love steel bikes and the crisp shift of down tube shifters...
I just tried going all modern with 8sp DT campy index shifters . Have got them working well with a 9sp chain etc........but i think i will go back to the old friction shifters which work every time

That's cool, everyone is entitled to their opinions...bog1953 wrote:Beautiful frame, wheels, group set and seat. I don't like modern stems and forks. But please don't take that as a criticism of your bike . That Olmo frame is superb!
Thanks, I have several Ti road bikes but the position I have on the Olmo feels great atm...

Yeah but not all retro rims looks good unless we can find some NOS.QuangVuong wrote:Lovely build. Those Archetypes look good, but I reckon you should've gone retro on the whole lot.

The rule applies to the rider, not the bike. When you remember rule #4 it's all about the bike and rule #11 the bike comes first, it is quite acceptable for a bike to be treated like a princess, provided the rider has another bike that enables him or her to comply with rule #9.rheicel wrote:Badass rule does not apply to the owner of this one, lolsinglespeedscott wrote:All hard anodized rims look good until you ride them in the rain.

I had picked up a set of 24" wheels with Campagnolo Gran Sport hubs from Bigfriendlyvegan and was looking forward to using them - but the brake reach on it was going to be massive, something like 70-75mm. So I went and had another look at what I had. The groupset is Shimano 600, but the cranks are 165mm plain alloy, but with a 110 bcd, so that I could put on 34 46 chainrings (thanks LG). The wheels are 650c, with 8spd DA hubs and Velocity Rims - which were hand as that allowed me to use the 600 calipers.
The only problems/things to finish are:
- a LHS Shimano 600 shifter (the spring in the one that I have &$%# itself so I have a 105 on a the moment)
- some fancy purpleish bar tape (request of the owner )
- new brake hoods as the white ones are gummy
- a 4.5mm spacer so that I can get a 7 speed cassette on the rear wheel
- recover a small ladies saddle in some black leather
- also have to sort out the wheel spacing, as when I tighten the QR, the cassette lock ring is binding on the nut that attaches the dropout.
Anyway, i'm pretty happy and my daughter even more so and can't wait for a ride .
