Finally I found some time to fit a proper stem to my marcarini (had to sand it down a bit cause the forks only accepts 22mm stems). I did this so I could put compact bontrager ssr vrc handlebars.

And here is an update of my ciocc with corima aero wheels

Looks good! What are these brakes?

Looks nice, what model is that? Doesn't look like extralight to me...

Cimer Gaston! manque plus que la tds gold:)

The salmon is very hot by the way!

A little update of my PX 10 with a nice belleri gold stem :)

Sure... But that means I'm risking to get it stucked in.
For now I'm keeping the more reasonable option :)

Actually this stem is a bit short but the bloody frame has only old french standards (bb, headset) and a 22mm steerer... This was the only spare stem I had and these can be tricky to find :/

My new ride, built on a french custom frame

Of course I do. And I know the geometry has its role. I was juste sharing a feeling I had, that's all...

I don't know, it's hard to describe... I am not claiming anything in terms of different steel qualities, and I didn't write that comment to open a debate, it's only a personnal opinion from my riding experience :)
I'd say it is a very stable bike, smooth but not too flexy and very fast. For instance I had a colnago master olympic that was the exact same size but a bit longer, It fell completely different, more stiff I'd say. Same from my bianchi mega x pro, quicker to accelerate but more demanding at high speed.

My new commuter!
A ciocc from the 90's in columbus EL-OS. I took all the parts from the previous one, which was a bit small, a bianchi mega X pro in deda zero HT steel.
The details: Shimano RS80 C24 wheelset and a dura ace 7700 groupset, 9 speed, almost complete except from the ultegra 6600 cranks (that I find way better and stiffer than dura ace 7700 cranks).

I've had a few different steel frames of great quality (columbus genius, slx, deda zero ht, reynolds 531, 653) but I must admit that this EL-OS easily surpasses them all :)

Yeah I was kind of wondering if those were C-record as well because of the unusual markings, though I'm pretty sure they are. I've looked on the arm reverse, no markings whatsoever...

Hi,

-Campagnolo Croce d'Aune rear and front derailleurs. Sorry I don't have pics of the front but I can do some later, though it is in excellent condition. Rear works perfectly but has many scratches. Please note that on the pic some part (cable stop) is missing but I have it so it's complete.
Yours for 45£

Bontrager ssr vrc

Some update on my vitus 992 with a flite titanium seatpost and saddle combo :)

My merlin in its final version, i switched the old 9 sp dura ace groupset with a 10 sp ultegra 6700. I love it:-)

Just finished this bianchi! Frame is a mega x pro st (for steel, as it was also available in dedacciai aluminium).
It's a deda zéro HT frame, pretty light yet very stiff! Components are mainly da 7700 except for the ultegra cranks.

Two big updates of my merlin extralight and my colnago master olympic.

Both now have full carbon forks!!!

The previous one on the merlin was crap (threaded aluminium), replaced by look hsc3 forks, and the precisa on the colnago was slightly bent, replaced by columbus muscle forks.
One pound less on each bike :)
Merlin is full dura ace 7700 except for the ultegra 6600 crankset, wheels are shimano c24 rs80 with veloflex master tyres.
Colnago is a mix-up of 10 speed campagnolo with ksyrium ssc wheels and conti GP tyres.

Nice, those wheels need destickering though

I thought about that but they're clearcoated...

My Merlin xl, i first built it with an aluminium threaded fork but i finally found some nice hsc3. Still waiting for carbon stem and handlebar though.

Bontrager ssr vr-c maybe?

My cannondale 2.8 R400. I initially built it with da 7700 parts but switched them for another frame so now it's a bit more old school. I'm really struggling with the idea that removing the paint and polish it up could be cool... should I or not?

Thanks!
Crankset is a stronglight pulsion. Very light but easily damaged, i've got a DA 7700 in case it breaks...

This is my look, a kg281 from 1999. Nothing super fancy but pretty light and fast
