Hi all,

Last winters project was the restoration of a 1984 Colnago super frame combined with a modern Athena 11sp groupset. Pictures of the result can be found here: http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/colnago-super-1984-22912. I enjoyed the restoration and the build and especially the miles that I put on the bike in spring/summer afterwards. Classic looks, modern functionality. New winter, so new project and another neo-retro build!

A few months ago, I got my hands on a Martelly bike for next to nothing. Martelly is a Belgian brand of steel bikes, built by Eddy Martens. Not a fancy name international, but they built some great quality frames. They are still going strong by the way, building custom steel frames: http://www.martelly.be.

This is how I picked up the bike:

Quality frame build from Columbus SL tubing. Nice chrome forks in great condition with Martelly engraving. Also a nice fully chromed rear triangle, cinelli spoiler bracket,number hanger, ... Cool frame, made to be raced.

Decided to go for a full restoration. Frame is at a framebuilder/painter now: he will add a second bottle holder bosses and cable guides for the front shifters. New colour will be light-metallic blue-ish, with yellow Martelly logo's and details.

Because I wanted painted logo's on the bike, I decided to provide my painter with self-made negatives made with a vinyl cutter. Here they are:

Frame will be build up with a Campagnolo Chorus 10 speed group and will get modern wheels, carbon seatpost and if possible carbon forks.

Will try to update this topic regularly with fresh pictures, questions and more!

Price drop to £40!

Ehhmm, don't know, is there anything wrong with them?

Hi,

Looks great! Your shifters are the wrong way around I guess, or are they pantographed on both sides?

Here is my olmo competition, very similar, at the moment also with a brown leather regal!

Finished a bike for my girlfriend. Koga Miyata Pro Luxe frame, dura ace Crane/2nd gen, 8sp. Relaxed ride!

Thanks! Pictures are made after only a few kms, that's why it still looks so pristine. But don't worry, it won't be a wallhanger, there is a reason why i chose to go modern!

I do have soms classic Flandrias. You can find some pics here: http:// http://www.pedalroom.com/members/Flandria

I alsof like the modern remakes, although the Columbus one is a bit pricy to me!

Wheels are Campagnolo veloce hubs on Rigida Chrina rims. Tires are Vittoria open corsa's!

Finished the restoration of a 1984 Super some time ago. Built it up with a modern 11sp Athena group (sorry purists) to have some more comfort. Still has the 'classic' look though! Other parts are Chorus headset, Chorus titanium seatpost, Cinelli SLX saddle, classic Cinelli cockpit,...

Finished the Colnago super project a couple of days ago and found some time for a ride today. Built up with Athena 11speed, Chorus headset and titanium seatpost and classic cinelli cockpit. Took a lot of time but happy with the result!

Did some more work on the colnago. Will be finished with white cables and bartape.

Rear hub skewer doesn't close properly though. It 'opens' itselfs slowly once closed... Fixable, or does someone has a spare?

Because...

• I fell in love with this neoretro forumbike: http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p4pb11766028/p4pb11766028.jpg
  
• after summer it will probably be build up period correct
  
• I want to do something different

Don't worry to much though, will keep it retro-looking. Cinelli 1R quill stem with criterium bars, shiny Chorus titanium seatpost with Cinelli Volare SLX saddle, 36h silver rims with tanwall open corsa's, ...

During winter months, I've put a lot of effort into a 1984 Colnago Super frame. Got it back from the painters a couple of days ago. Can't wait to build it up with classic wheels/stem/seatpost and Athena 11sp groupset!

Awesome, your attention to details is stunning. Working on a similar project at the moment (Saronni red 1984 Super with 11sp silver Athena group)!

Bearing are changed and wheels are spinning like they're new! Removed axle and bearings using some blocks of wood and a light hammer, as described above. New bearings went in very easy using a homemade headset press + fresh grease.

Thanks for the help!

Wow, will try this tomorrow. Big thanks!

Have been thinking about that to, but doesn't take a allen key unfortunately.... The search goes on!

Hi,

I'm in the process of changing the bearing in a campagnolo khamsin front wheel (I guess 2012).
I managed to remove the circlipses and the dust caps with the help op this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVnswbyW9ss

But now, I have no clue how to remove the axle from the hub. I've searched the internet and it must be possible, but can't find how to do it. Anyone over here who has done it before or could help me out by seeing the pictures I made? Both sides of the axle are identical...

Here's a link (http://www.cycle-tech.co.uk/2011/05/khamsin-wheels-replacing-bearings.html) explaining how to put in the new bearings, but they don't explain how to remove the axle. Same wheels though, so must be possible...

Anyone has a clue?

Yeah, make a CP thread and also post pics of the previous iteration with DA7400 :). Looking forward to it!

In my opinion, the frame has been produced by Panasonic (hence their serial number in the BB) and was branded as Norta, Jan Jansen, ... Am I wrong?

Finished another ongoing project today and took it for a ride. Flandria equiped with a nearly full dura ace first/second generation group:
