In my covid slump upon hearing the news of another covid extension in Ireland I decided to treat myself.

Managed to pick up a very beater colnago which I'm buzzing to get built, sorry merckx, plan is to switch over all bits on my daily bike and ride this until all the paint flakes off and then eventually a powder coat and new decals but that will be a while!

Good things are its straight, no dents, headset seems good and it's my size! I have a bit of a thing for buying bikes too big or small and trying to make them fit me.

Bad things is the paint, the guy I bought it off said the bike actually doesnt have that much use just the paint is shite and flakes and bubbles everywhere. I kind of like it though, excited to put some miles in and see how she handles.

If your on instagram "levelohk" have a large parallax

ahhh it hurts my eyes

Thanks mate! Yeah paints in great condition with only a few scrapes and blemishes. Plan to order some frame protector tape this week, get that on asap so my local roads don't destroy the paint too quick.

Oh nice plan, excited to see how that looks! It may steer me in a direction of what I want the merckx end up like.

Recently-ish I bought an Eddy Merckx Mx Leader - Thanks again @sla30 !!!

Had been searching for quite a while, lusting over peoples past builds and finally found one that fit and was red! Have secretly always wanted a snazzy red merckx so hopefully its snazzy when its fully built.

Currently im trying to decide groupset and wheelset.
It Came with campag 8 speed and campag wheels but Im also thinking maybe going more modern. Currently have ultegra on my ritchey which i could switch over or I have my eye on modern-ish campag chorus and zondas but they would require a good bit of extra moneys.

Decisions Decisions!?!

Im half thinking of building it up as I recieved it (campag 8speed), dialing in the fit and changing to modern parts Later. Atleast then the merckx will get ridden and not sit gathering dust.

Below is a photo of how its sits at the moment. Ill try keep the photos and updates coming!

Wow this frame is beautiful!

Hmmm OK, loads of info there.

Looks like I have research to do!

Thanks guys!

Íl take the headset, pm'd

Pm'd!

Oh if this was bigger I'd snap thissss up!

that is a beauty.

Have decided that maybe its time to get my own neg scanner and stop bugging my friends whenever i need it done. Any recommendations for such a machine?

3rd dibs on the look forks!

Ok noted! Cheers!

At first glance I thought the hub was camo!

Hip hop related question.

Does my 1inch Chris King headset require a specific Chris King crown race or is there a cheaper alternative?

Interested in lfgss bottle! Also in Ireland though...

Possible dibs on the derosa frame! Pming you now

interested in the look frame!
Pending price and more deets!

Love the beach one!

love the pink decals!

Are the mech hangers hard to source for these?

And what's the tíre clearance?

ok thanks for the tips! passed on it in the end, I came to the realization that Im a bit heavy handed with bikes and I would probably destroy a carbon frame unintentionally but most likely.

And Propels sound like alot of faff!

my size! not my price.

Anyone on here riding or ridden a giant propel?
Considering picking one up and giving modern carbon a try
