Bought this beautiful frame last year and decided not to use it over the winter. Now the sun's out I need to get it built and take it out riding!
Ive been slowly putting together a 1st Gen Chorus groupset for the build (c-record was too expensive/hard to source) and have most of the parts now. I also have a 10 speed Chorus group I may try at a later time, but it has to be vintage to start!
It really is a stunning frame, amazing build quality, and the paint is almost immaculate. I didnt realise it had repro decals when I bought it, they are the wrong size so may replace these at some point
Will update progress over the weekend..

Anyone got a spare? No luck at my lbs and don't really want to buy a full set !
Cheers

No clear coat, I thought I'd just chance it with the decals as I heard mixed things about clear coating powder coat, and it already looked a bit thick . Might be worth speaking to your local powder coaters though. Ill have to see how it holds up !

Recently had my frame done in Candy Blue (translucent lacquer over silver base) by RPA in Bristol. Hard to show in photos but it looks amazing in the sunlight.

Nice ! .. And nothing wrong with Aelle

I need a set of 4 by the way! Thanks !

Looking for a set of silver brake pad holders with the thread on the external bolt rather than coming out of the holder - so they will fit through the thinner slot on a pair of older calipers
Like these :
Thanks

Hi
Can anyone help me complete a 1st gen chorus groupset, I'm missing the monoplaners . Must be in good condition . Would consider 2nd gen if I can't find the 1st gen ones
Thanks

Rolls Saddle in excellent condition, barley visible scuff on the side. Rear and side badges also very good
Dark brown leather with mottled stripes, a really beautiful and unusual finish

Has anyone bought decals from Velocals in the US? they offer the following finishes for each decal set:
$39.95 Premium Cast 2mil Vinyl (for application before clear coat)
$57.95 High gloss UV Laminate finish (for finished frame)
$59.95 Premium Cast 1mil VinylI'm curious if anyone has tried the 2mm vinyl - whether they really look that thick and if they can be used without clear coat , the other options are quite pricey! I've had no response from velocals
Cyclomondo is the only other person who has the decals I want and he is away until June...

Shimano HG50 12-23 9 speed cassette, very lightly used for a month or so for light commute into town.
£7.50 posted

Thanks, I could use a 9 speed cassette but I have 8 speed jockeys and chainring if rather use an 8 speed chain hence need the extra spacing . I know it will probably work with a 9 speed chain but I wanted to keep it all consistent
Out of interest what cogs were you using with the spacer kit? I assumed the wheels mfg spacers allowed for the slightly narrower 9 speed cogs so indexed shifting shouldn't be an issue ?
-
Currently build has 8 speed friction shift set up but 9/10 speed campag hubs ( want to keep these wheels for now).
Does anyone have a set of 8 speed campag cassette spacers, or one of the hard to find wheels mfg spacer kits ? (I assume both the above are simple hoops with no splines) planning to use these with 9 speed cassette cogs .
My hub is the original 9 speed version not the newer ultra drive , see here:

Hi
Looking for vinyl Montello decals from early to mid 80's - these have a single Pinerello word down the centre of the seat tube rather than on each side.
like this
http://www.velocals.com/servlet/the-907/Pinarello/Detail
Ideally after head tube sticker and slx decals as well
Cyclcomondo is away for 5 weeks and havent heard back from Velocals for 2 weeks so does anyone have a spare set or can you recommend a quality alternative (uk) seller?
cheers

Kompute- do it! Would be great see yours. I initially bought an Asolo before this, unfortunately it was slightly too big. The build quality looked equal to me, beautiful frames.
