Love your Rudy project!

That’s a damn fine frameset.

Finished mine!

RD Cable needs trimming

current state:

Ambrosio Alu-splinter?

It couldn't have been better! All solid and looking good!!

And thanks @WimVDD for the groupset and wheels! Luckily had a box of 264mm spokes!

Soon..... (went for City Jets at the end)

If you’re talking of the Laser stayer, that bike (and frame) was built this year for European Championship, rider was Vigano (Cinelli Chrome)

Are you running these spacers+positive rise for fitting purposes or just to accomodate the front brake?

More than slamming it seems to need a 150mm stem, that's a very short reach for such a massive drop saddle-bars and considering the saddle position in regard of the BB.

It starts to make more sense once I poorly potatochopped some wheels on.

Got the frame today, even if the top tube is 55cm and seat tube at the "recommended" 18", after setting the saddle at the correct height, seems to be small... Am I just not used to 90's mtb sizing?
Probably I should judge just after fitting some wheels I guess!

Yeah! LX sounds appetising, 550 or 560?

That's stunning but I would personally steer away from Campag on MTB stuff for practical, functional and budget purposes.
Did you find yours complete?
Mine has a Campagnolo BB on, not sure if it's there by mistake or just because it was easier to find Campagnolo Italian threaded BB from stockist rather than Shimano ones... Who knows?

I've always wanted a heavy duty, cheap, not-so-worried-to-lock-up bike, and hopefully now I'm on the right direction.
I'm waiting for this ugly duckling to come from Italy, a cheap, mid-range 90s frame, conditions were reflected on the price and I can't complain as it will be an incentive to keep the spending for parts as low as possible.
I've never built a retro-MTB before so I will ask opinion from the experts on here.
I don't want to stick the first cheap 90s groupset that I can find, as I always like some prep&research when building a bike from scratch.

So, this model was sold between 1992 and 1995, and I've seen it only equipped with LX M550 or Exage 500LX.
I would like to have STIs on it rather than thumbies.
I guess it will be stupid to put anything better than LX or DX but I wouldn't mind splashing extra dinero for a ratty XT or XTR.
Preferably it will have slick or semi-slick tyres on, tanwall? Am I asking too much?

Please if you have bits for sale let me know.

Here's a picture from the seller:

Which stem and seatpost?
Silver or black groupset? Mixed?

Means "end of cycle/pedestrian way" or better explained "walk/cycle through at your own risk".

No photoshop, it's seriously common practice.

The correct signs for No Cycling or No Pedestrians are these:

It's common to build segregated cycle lanes but give right of way to resident's entrance or side roads.
Madness right?

Italy's bike lane fail

Lol to when you realise that the guy spins because he's been literally wound up by another guy stripping off his belt.

The whole thing reminds me of a motion version of these old Tour de France jigsaw puzzles:

That’s steep! I have purchased an entry level Pinarello Spring frameset, will post pictures once it arrives and start building it...
Actually, does anybody have a decent 90’s mtb groupset going spare?

Stunning! Did you get it??

Seriously? I mean seriously?
I can understand if he was trying to share the pavement, but he appears to shoot down behind the bus stop at relatively high speed considering the pavement was crowded.
Like the three guys had to give him way.

If the knocked out guy was looking for a fight he would have probably punch him in the throat before throwing him on the floor. Understandably so, unless the cyclist was shouting "sorry guys let me through I really have to reach a bathroom, I'm shitting myself"
