How do you find those handlebars? They don't look like they would be very comfy in the drops for me.

if i took closer photos you'd see that most of the parts are pretty scratched up except for the crankset.

cheers locky. it feels a bit more twitchy at speed than the vertex - maybe because of the shorter stem?ldrcycles wrote:I dunno, kinda looks like an old man's bike doesn't it?

still feels quite plush tho.

It came to me as a frame and fork only and I repainted myself, it's Columbus EL-os weighing 1510grams frame only. I was told it was built for a professional team racer in Europe? so could be very rare. Now it's time to ride it.

Mustang there the highly controversial Mavic r-sys wheels. Mine are generation 3 models the first one's are old news but unfortunately there ghost still lingers on the internet tainting there reputation. I love them as all round wheels but they excel as climbing wheels, there the most true spinning laterally stiff wheel especially when standing on the pedals.

That would be so sweet, i was so lucky to pick that frame up, initially the predominant yellow colour put me off but the black and red highlights and how the guys at the LBS added that little touch with the finishing tape have improved the bike no end, link will show what it use to look likejbchybridrider wrote:Beautiful Merckx seddo, keep that paint looking NOS those jobs are almost impossible to recreate. I can imagine both our bikes racing side by side through a sweeping high speed bend in the Adelaide Hills offcourse Actually recreating a 90's peloton with many forumites would be a site to see.
