MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

The forks arrived and they are great, really well finished.

They'll prolly snap on the first ride though. #madeinchinaracism

Looking forward to photos then.

If anyone is after Nitto M151 compact bars (for a flat transition with modern shifters) and don't want to pay import duties you can now find them in stock in the UK.
I ordered them for my LOOK KG233 and they look spot on, I'd show you a picture but it's not like the rest of the bike is going anywhere at the moment :-(
They also have the M104, which is like a classic Italian shape, but with sorter reach.

It needs a more modern angled stem but I'm prefering this look.

Fork ID?

I spent too long getting the valves at the bottom of the wheels and not long enough organising my kitchen tops. #theshame

This frame uses fork with 1 inch steerer tube, right? What is that fork? The Chinese one posted here recently?

Yep. They call the brand Hylix.

How do you like it? Is the quality not too far away from the rest of your bike’s components?

Edit: just saw the posts above. Lovely bike btw.

Haven't rode it yet. The quality is good, better than the Colombus Minimal which I also considered.

The choices for 1" carbon forks are pretty limited so think this is the best out there.

positively rowdy

Fo sale where? What size and how much?

Will be on classifieds, probably up tomorrow.

I'm waiting for you to put it on sell too haha! Curious about frameset sizing

Is this the bike from the recent Rapha lookbook?

Yep.

Then why did we get a crappy pic in the porn thread?

looking meeean. What's the deal with the lever positions? Too long stem?

What's the deal with the lever positions?

narp. Love the bike. Just strange.

They've been like that since they were in a -17 stem and will be changed once new stem arrives

Transformed my '81 E.M. Professional into something more rideable.

Will take better photos in daylight.
