What bars are those?

My S1, before I put it into winter storage today.

I'm after a 28H Archetype rim in decent condition.

Thanks!

What's the fit on the jacket like?

What saddle bag/tool roll is that?

Price drop

Basically looking for some Soma Highway 1s, but something black that is 26mm clamp and compact drop would be ok too!

Athena (I think) drive side crank arm and 52/42 rings. 170mm long. The NDS crank was lost by Royal Mail when I posted a groupset to someone!

I've got a 130mm Cinelli Frog if that's any good?

Any reccomendations for bottle cages? Just replaced the ones on my Cervelo to find that the cages both sit too low/close together so they can't fit both bottles.

What's the drop on the 3TTT bars roughly?

Just finished this build. Upgraded from a mixed 7/8 speed group. Need to sort out the rear wheel QR slipping.

Almost there...

Is the Riva saddle any good without padding? Thinking about stripping an old one I have too.

Tape will be black, probably some fizik stuff since that's whats on my other bike. I'm hoping the Michelins will look a bit more brown after some use.

As for the hoods, I got the groupset second hand and it came with red hoods, I thought I could get away without buying new black ones, will reassess after I put the tape on!

Progress so far. Got a pair of Veloflexes for the carbon wheels, but for the time being, I got some yellow michelins for that faux-gumwall look...

I've considered running an A-head adapter so I can use a modern stem and maybe Ritchey classics. But I think the overall aesthetic works better with a quill stem.

What sort of finish do you get when you sand the anodising off handlebars? Does it remove a significant amount of material?

Anyone happen to have a right Ergolever hood, before I buy a new pair:

Have made a little progress and fitted the parts. Things to go:
-Waiting for Jtek shiftmate
-Fit something more comfortable than a Turbo
-Current wheels are just to keep the bike off the ground

-Finalise cockpit setup and do tape

I'm not sure about what to do with the cockpit and ergolever position though. My other bike has SRAM levers and very shallow 3T drops so the bar tops-hoods transition was smooth. The Cinelli 66 bars that came with this frame have an absolutely huge drop and not much of a flat area on the tops.

What do you guys think about the Clement Strada LGG gumwalls or the Conti GP Classics?

I'm after some gumwalls mostly for posing but a bit of racing too. Veloflex Masters seem to fit the bill as they have good grip, are affordable and are lightweight. It seems their not the toughest tyre though - what are people's experiences with them on rough English roads?

I've got a mid 90s Guerciotti Columbus SL frame which I've had built up with a mix of old Campag stuff. I've got a 10 speed carbon Centaur groupset for it, which will hopefully make it a bit more practical. Going to run a Jtek shiftmate so I can all my other wheels (Powertap pair and a set of PX carbon wheels)

The decisions to be made are:

1. Finishing kit - I think it'll look better with silver finishing kit since I don't want to change the silver headset. Main decision is the bars. On my other bike I have compact drops with a flat transition to the hoods, but I don't think that's possible with the Cinelli 66 bars currently on the bike. 26mm silver compact bars seem hard to come by. Options are to stick with the Cinelli 66s, use black bars+silver stem or run a quill adaptor for some 31.6mm bars and another stem.

2. Cables - I think the bike looked quite good with red cables. I think either red or white would work well?

This is what the previous build looked like
