I like it. I bet it rides well.

Something must have been very heavy to save 500g with those changes.
Aren't the new pedals just a different colour?

Yeah you're right, pedals are just an aesthetical change, but I forgot to mention the titanium skewers (40gms!), a dura ace cassette (old one was a 105) and super light air chambers. The seatpost (old vitus one) and the saddle were pretty heavy so even if it's just an approximation (I'm not a weight weenie I haven't got a precision balance :)), it has to be close to 500g!

Hi
This is my road machine, columbus Genius frame from the 90's with a modern transmission. I love it.

It used to look like this before I change the tyres, pedals, seatpost, saddle and brakes (saving 500 grams):

I use these a lot without cleats (mine are super used and I don't wanna pay for new ones) and I never had pains, even after long rides.

What shoes are you using with these?

Normally these are to be used with special cleats (super hard to find btw) but you can use them with regular shoes. Personnaly I use them with converse...

And some pics of my Veneto with new tyres (vittoria tecno Sport TT)


Appart from the saddle, seat post and headset all the parts are french (mavic stem, pedals crankset and wheels, sachs handlebars, brakes and gears, incl. ergopowers).

Pinarello Asolo finished! I finally found the fork I was looking for, columbus SLX baby :)

Very nice frame it is!
Good luck for finding 7410 brifters, these are pretty rare!
What wheelset is this beauty gonna get??

@Hovis: I'm looking for that kind of lugged fork, very classic look, to replace the aluminium shit I currently have.

hi
my new pinarello asolo, almost finished. I'm still waiting for a nice chromed fork.

dibs on crankset + pm!

If it wasn't for the color scheme it would be nice but here...

^What happened to the original fork?

Dunno I bought the frame alone. If someone has a chromed original pinarello fork from the matching period (early 90's) I take it!

And the mercks are absolutely incredibles!

A little update of my current project, 90's pinarello asolo. It still needs a decent headset and a 102mm bb to fit the campagnolo record crankset (current one is a veloce).
Appart from that it's almost finished.
bisou

This bike is absolutely gorgeous!!

This will be perfect for my new ride

My new current project: Pinarello Asolo, year is probably late 80's early 90's
Unfortunately the frame didn't come with the fork so I installed an unbranded aluminium one. The bike is 90% italian, with athena rear mech and brake callipers,
record crankset and shifters, mirage front mech, chorus seatpost, 3ttt stem, cinelli criterium handlebar, gipiemme tecno 716 pro wheels (yeah, poor version of shamal, but
ride the same IMO and they look pretty cool).
The bike is almost finished, I need to change the bottom bracket for a 102mm record and the saddle will be replaced by an iscaselle Giro d'Italia.

more pics but no seat cluster closeup

I like that. A lot.
For me, aesthetically, I'd have the stem a bit higher and the ergos further round the bends with the bars rotated. But you're changing the bars you said so.....
Apparently you can use the Sachs ergo levers with the gorgeous Mavic rear dérailleur, cool mongrel drivetrain. I thought about trying it on my Cougar, I have that same second generation 631 chainset too. Sachs new success is pretty nice though, what are the brakes like?

Thanks! I wish I had mavic ssc derailleurs but new success work fine on this one. Actually I finished the final set up yesterday evening:


And yeah Meconium is a shit name but it's cute because it's the newborn very first pooh

Hey all,
here is my current project, built from scratch, fully functional but the current belleri handlebar will be replaced by a
sachs new success (copy of modolo X-tenos) and the vitus seatpost will be replaced by a chorus (more straight).

Veneto frame, columbus cromor
Italia saddle (model???)
Sachs New Success brakes, ergo levers, rear and front mech
Mavic 631 crankset, Mavic 640 pedals, Mavic open pro rims laced on ultegra 6400 hubs

I want this one in my dining room!

here is my new peugeot bicyclette. I just finished it today, it's a Reynolds 653 frame, should be full mavic but I only had 74.. dura ace.

Un gros bisou de paris

This is my opinion, I'm being honest here, nothing to do with me being french. This bike may not be porn but it's definitely not anti.

This bike looks sooo cool and soooo fast. It has nothing to do in anti porn thread.

Chickenpox?
Otherwise the frame looks nice but i find the stem ugly as hell, should be replaced with a nice plungeant quill stem.
