Galli Crit groupset....
Postby leighthebee » Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:17 am
Came across this on evil bay. As some may know I've got a Nos Colnago Super frameset awaiting the right group to build up. I'm not thinking top end vintage campag due to cost of nos bits and the frameset isn't top Colnago either but I do like the idea of the below group.

I have no idea about the group though. I would assume reasonably tidy as you wouldn't panto Colnago on crap would you? From the little I've read, parts tough to replace, and it was an ex Campag employee essentially copying what he'd learnt.
Good fit for the frame?

You could piece together a standard campagnolo group for less than that money, I'd suggest. I wouldn't do it.

I think it would suit your frame and look both great and a little different too.
The seatpost is not suitable for your frame, as stated, but it could be shimmed to take up the slack. Auto parts stores usually sell brass shim packs made up of a variety of different thickness'. It's easily cut with scissors, easily formed into a cylindrical shape and (I've found) that the seatpost doesn't slip slowly into the frame; it holds perfectly well. You just need to measure the actual thickness of the shim remembering that it wraps around the post and you have to halve the actual thickness of the required shim:
e.g. 27.2 frame size - 26.2 seatpost = 1mm difference - therefore you would need a 0.5mm shim.

if the pockets are deep enough (and the arms are long enough) go the galli. i don't think you're going to notice a difference in performance between that and nuovo record, for example.
also, you could probably sell that seatpost and buy a plain or fluted version in the correct size for less.
personally, i'd skip the panto business and save a few quid (or more specifically, spend the money i'd saved on wheels)

Not that the playstation generation are doing things wrong but I think recent trends with panto'd stuff comes from a younger crew without the perspective of old. Of course that just my opinion (I have others).
I'd go with plane jane Campy (good enough for a few world champs & TdF winners) or some nice Shimano or Simplex .. something that is in good condition and you like the look of. Or mix and match like many did. Imo condition and function of the parts is far more important than brand or appropriate year. Save your big $'s for the wheels and replacement chains/freewheels/brake blocks etc. I see too many high bling bikes with expensive panto parts that have worn jockey wheels, freewheels & chainrings and classic wheels with sub quality tyres. I'd rather a bike fit to ride than one to brag about.
Don't get me wrong Galli is nice gear and there's many other smaller component manufacturers to consider. Campy usually gets the nod because it lasts longer or might be considered more robust. Some stuff like from Suntour or Huret worked shifter a lot better, Mavic and Pellisier 2000 hubs were world class etc etc .... there's many smaller, lesser known manufacturers who did things quite well. Except for Weinmann Delta brakes ... they were !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! then and still !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! today
