New hack drive train for my daily: Gutted left 105 Shifter+ Ultegra 10s + XT 9s Rear Mech. Works a treat :)

I knew I could expect a perfect build from you :) Keep us updated! I know, it's gotten really difficult to find 27.2 SR seatposts for a fair price. Good luck with the search!

That frame deserves silver or golden tubular rims and a campa sr seatpost. Black rims and radial lacing don't do it justice imho.

It was too short so I bodged it together out of two pieces:

On the subject of Merckx: i almost finished my 1980 signature professional. Rear brake cable is a temporary solution cause i couldn’t find a yellow cable that’s long enough :/ It’ll probably get silver wheels and new tubs in the medium term future and some panto bits if I find some for a reasonable price.
P.s. And the pantos will be filled in yellow -

Great project, love those bitube frames. Keep in mind that the fork was probably not designed for a low-rider rack both in terms of stability and geometry. Judging by the diameter of the fork blades and the age of the frame I'd be worried about the ride stability and the rake or lack thereof won't help either. I used a tubus tara and ortlieb sport rollers on my bottecchia traveller which has a similar fork and the front end was wobbling quite a lot to the point that riding free handed was effectively impossible. To counter this, I had to put my light stuff in the low riders which kind of defeats their purpose.
It’s 52t N/W chainring from china. I actually ordered a 1/8 track chainring a while ago and accidentally got this instead. Haven’t had a dropped chain despite the bumpy ‘cycle paths’ of berlin.
