okay I'm sorted for a rear - now need a front - 28H only now as Mr Cow has sorted me out with a NOS 28H rear. I am willing to buy wheels if the hub is already been laced. As long as it's in VGC.

If you have a NOS/VGC set with other holes, let me know as I might be tempted to buy a matching set and sell the 28h rear.

Thanks!

Great deal for some silver singlespeed wheels!

PM'd saddguy69 but no reply yet. If he doesn't get back to me by tomorrow the risers are back up for sale with Darius at first dibs. Let me know if you want them mate.

28h c-record pista rear (no lock ring), nos but no box £75

dibs on this please.

The wheels on your Caygill look awesome, B!

I'm interested in your random silver riser bars. How much to post them?

Cheers

Bump

Black deltas...? Pretty cool..I really like the century finish too. But shouldn't campag be shiny!?!

That's a bargain you got there, Rik..!

Cheers for the heads up, hope they're not too hard to set up. My LBS guy is really into campag so might pop in for a visit.

Malaysian, i hear what your saying. Was severely tempted when varno posted those silver open pros with record hubs. But just got to scratch this wood wheel itch. Plus, they are crafted by hand in Italy and are super light too..natures carbon! Reckon they will ride well.

As for the brakes, I thought the opposite was the case..the performance of the deltas were not strong enough compared to modern designs..

Hi, thanks for your interest. I'll have to get a postage quote for the risers tonight. As for the hubs, I think onelove is happy with them now.

Cheers minty. Comments are all good..running brakes on the rims with normal pads can be problematic, as the finish can be worn off easily. This can lead to the rims warping. I'm going to experiment with leather or cork pads to avoid this..fitting them to the delta brakes could be a task though..! Will be running it fixed too, so can avoid braking in most circumstances. Nice to know they are there though.

Build did originally have more colour, but as I amassed the parts it changed into a more classic mash of brown silvery ti goodness..it's a classic build so can't really be having bright anodised bits on it.

Yeah Paul levers are where I'm leaning, would like to see a pic though.. Perhaps try out a Paul duplex lever and keep the bars clean at least on one side..

I'll check out those other veloflex options...the more Italian the better! As for the saddle, I know exactly what's going through your head mate!! ;-) just Pm'd Mr Cow about his saddle, so will see what model/colour it is..

Cheers mate - hope you like the popes on it! Veloflex are lovely, but thinking I'll probably go for skinny plain black tubs, as matching brown/gumwall sides with the shade of wood might be tricky. Perhaps gatorskin tubs, as the brown sides are very subtle and might melt into the wood nicely.

I really want the bars as clean as possible, so I'm planning on controlling the deltas with my mind, or maybe by remote control! But seriously, I'm not sure yet...maybe paul levers or drop levers turned sideways. Any ideas?

Cheers lad.

Think that planet x guy got through to him. He's been quiet ever since, hopefully enjoying the hubs!

It's funny you mention walnut, because I'm currently shopping for real wooden rims, and the walnut shade I think could look quite nice (think it's the one in the middle)
I think the middle three are particularly nice.

Boys..Jordan, Malaysian, Bbhewee..you're catching the vision for the rims! Wood is the way I'm going!
The profile hubs do slightly tie in with the cinelli decals, but not nearly enough really.
I'm just loving campag craftsmanship - the c recs w/wooden crafted rims will be lovely!

Tempted by the black shamal myself, tubular I presume?

items added - 46t Token Chainring and Dia Tech headset.

They are pretty loud. I'll be selling them soonish to fund new hubs/wheels. If anybody is interested drop me a line. They are awesome hubs, on the right build=winning!

Here u go Jordan, a quick build with the profile/velocitys....
I am reaaaly loving the delta brakes!
You get the general idea...am really liking the idea of low flange campag hubs.

just about finished my parts box/bargain finds pre cursa build....pretty happy with it!

Cheers mate I Pm'd you.

Found my hubs, thread closed...cheers!

Excited about finishing it. My last exam is on 14th June so I'm aiming for that as a completion date. Will deffo build it up with the profiles, but pretty sure they'll be going.
Love the pewter headset, the purple grey shade looks good imho.
My wheel plans have changed loads-from profiles etc to sheriff stars, but realised they weren't too suitable for road use. Ended up emailing Mack with a picture of the sheriffs and he said he could replicate the design..but now I've seen these deltas, I'm leaning towards LF c rec pistas to keep the wheels true to the whole build. Would have loved to see how Mack can craft sheriff stars though, maybe an idea for someone elses build though........

Yeah bb is English, Jordan

I'll keep it updated with pics, cheers for interest and comments.

cool trainers, wish they were a couple of sizes bigger
