carbon fibre, matching Darth Vader suits for the nuptials. Absolute winner there.

Wow, can you get in chrome plated steel too?

You could wrap it in Alfoil....

Here are some photos of my Colnago now completed. Although since these photos were done I have changed pedals to speedplay.
In anticipation of those purists claiming I should have restored it with all period componentry, I will be using this bike for competition so 8 speed with down tube shifters were out of the question.
Also after trialling so many different saddles, the SMP suits me and have gone for comfort as opposed to something period. (I do hope to one day father children.)
I absolutely love the campy wheelset, wish they still made them, hang on no I don't all the more reason these are so great, you just don't see them around.

pretty hard to trump your Colnago for beauty but here is my Malvern Star, (recent acquisition);


at the Summit cafe, Mt Coot-tha a few weeks ago.
since that photo the saddle and seatpost have been replaced with something more modern to allow a small weight saving and more importantly a bit more leg extension to assist getting up hills such as this

I quite like this ride! how was the ride up? thought i would've been trecherous on the road up to cootha since its been very wet lately.

...but at least I have my Colnago.

this comment made my day! No matter what happens, you're always going to come home and see the colnago...hmmmm goodness.

Well yes and no, last week was a write-off due to seriously bad weather but this morning was only a bit drizzly.
So I ventured up there this morning on the 'Star and had a great time.
It was cool and pleasant climb up the (windy) back way.
No wheelslip despite riding on worn out rear maxxis 700x23.
Across the top was a bit wet and played cat and mouse with a few dedicated roadies on S-Works and ? Trek.
Descent not full bore but the front (quarry) side of Coottha is the best way to descend in any weather IMHO.
All said it was a surprisingly excellent ride.

Lovely, really lovely.

Well Done Jase, bet you are pleased you kept it now, cant get over how good the old frame looks with the modern Campy.

My new Vitus 979, imported from Europe 5 yrs ago, & built up with Sante, appears to have sat ever since. On arrival to me most parts needed adjustment from lack of use. Have had one ride of 38ks, its very smooth, soaks up the bumps, cassette 11/21 & chain rings of 53/39 are very tall for me, changes easily with a nice clunk, needs decent seat, brake pads, tires. Sante hubs laced to mavic rims, nice & true. Dura ace brakes. Splashed out $200 on pedals to match the Viner.

Doubt the frame has had much use, its been overbadged with the brand of "Soncini".Sunlight shows decals have been removed from the downtubes but is still in place on the headtube. VeloBase.com advise they have no info on this re seller.
Weighs 8.6kg (bathroom scales) The only complaint is the skinny bars?




Could not see this for crud!

[munga]

beautiful. i'm a sucker for metallic blue bikes.

[Semar]

Beautiful bike. Those Vitus and Alan lugged alum bikes are stunners.

[rokwiz]

Morning all,
Hope you've had a good commute this morning.
Following on from "Speedy"my Speedwell, this is my Sydney bike. Its an old handmade John Mclachlan frame from Newcastle, using Columbus tubing and lug brazed. (Don't know age)
Components are some old Sachs new sucess, mixed with Shimano, old Dura ace wheels

Lovely, i'm growing a bigger soft spot for these all the time, there was a track version built up on another forum recently that's also a stunner.

Hi all, here is my Moser 51.151. So if anyone has a spare 51.151 pantographed fork ...

[bpmhigh]

Love your collection LOSB.

These forks haven't attracted any bids yet - located in the Netherlands with worldwide ship.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Francesco-Moser ... 231aae501e

Should these be panto'd on the fork crown or just the dropouts...?

I emailed a guy in the states about a Moser frame and fork last week - sadly the $350 shipping killed my enthusiasm.

Ah-hah... like these 'http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/features/fday/10.JPG

Yep, got a watch on them. That guy has dodgy feedback though. Matuzmaster from Hungary had some just like your pic in your next post (which is what I really would like) but he wanted over $200 with $70 postage. Ouch!

[munga]

sure, they're expensive, but once you've got them, you'll forget about the three weeks of 2-minute noodles for lunch and dinner.

[omo]

Just finished this 1980 Gazelle Champion Mondial.It has the original decals,just a new clearcoat.
I used a 2000 Chorus groupset I had 'laying around'

[hazmat5765]

Very nice Omo!
