Try to find some 7 speed campa wheels. Think early Chorus had screw on blocks. Rims from that era are Mavic MA40, GP4 (yellow labeled ones), MA2,...

Or 7 speed Mavic hubs with Mavic, Wolber, Nishi,... rims.

KG243 is a steel bike. At this very moment I'm building my 243. Don't know the numbers of Look carbon bikes.

But 243 or not, nice bike you've got there.

That's not a KG243. I will post a photo of a KG243 has as soon as I finished it. ;-)

Nice bike! Just get rid of the wheels. ;-) (105 hubs??).

Is it an Athena groupset on it?

No problem, @Diesel , found a set this very moment. Thanks anyway and good luck with sale!

are you selling the wheels separate? (I live in Belgium too).

Haha, you've got yourself some nice new projects too (cfr. "Colnago owners") @JusCos :-)

I haven't been buying bikes since Xmas (yes, it's been dark, difficult weeks...), only been finishing the unfinished (the Colnago Super "Saronni", this Merckx, the Colnago Master Ariostea of which I replaced the last non-DA7400 bits) and this week I'll be finishing my Gios Compact Evolution and Look KG243. And in between I'm restoring a Koga Miyata for a friend. Good thing the weather is too bad to go out cycling.

BTW: I stick to Frank Hoste for the spraying. The guy has been racing Merckx bikes as a pro so he knows how they should look. ;-) These eighties bikes are the one he had his biggest victories on (green jersey at Tour de France etc.) and I have the impression he kind of likes respraying them. :-)

That's guaranteed some weeks of pure fun, @JusCos !

looks more like an early "professional" to me

decals look like earlier models, indeed. Merckx had in 1990 some Corsa's that looked like the Professionals:

Thanks. Just a pitty it's not completely my size. Will be moved to the 'Bay so I (hope I) can fund some other projects with the money...

Didn't take that much time... (will post better pics later)

If you want to go for Cosmics, go for the ones from the nineties.

some projects can't wait to be finished (bit of a shitty photo, I know...)

picked up the resprayed Merckx Professional this morning:

Thanks. These are the parts (won't use the black stem, it's bit too much scuffed. Have a silver one that I will put on it):

Bought this one 2 months ago as a complete bike (Superrecord with colour-matching parts):

I didn't like the colour so I decided to hae it resprayed but as I wanted to keep the red coloured matched crankset and seatpost, it ended up like this:

Will start re-building it this very afternoon with the original parts.

Aha, those you mean. They're missing, that's correct. If your friend wants to sell me a pair for a fair price, I'm interested. Thanks!

For sure less than 10kg.

probably it is. I have a very similar 1994 Carrera (Columbus EL OS with 8 speed C-Record) and that weighs bit more or less than 9. But who cares about weight when it comes to a bike like this.

Yes try to sell a colnago, and get this beauty

someone who wants a 1986 Master with Superrecord groupset? I would swap it immediately.

Thanks @JusCos . Thanks for the offer too but no need to ask for the brake cable guides (believe that's what you mean?) because it's an eighties model with braze ons.

Love this bike so much but can't afford it at the moment... Maybe I should sell some of my Nago's. ;-)

GLWS!

I can see the photo in my inbox notification but not here.

Looks great this way. Good job!

I slightly changed mine today: removed the Sram parts and putted a "cheap" Veloce on it (needed the Sram for a very recently acquired -an pretty light- Ciöcc frameset I want to build a light bike with). For this Gios I'm waiting for a Deda Magic "team Gios" stem to come instead of the S-Works. Pictures will follow.

Put on the steel ones! They're more in balance with the frames tube dimensions. I've been building up my classic "Gios blue" Evolution with modern parts and it's great but you just have to keep the chromed (?) forks.

Thanks!

another Colnago mystery. They have more mystery bikes than other. ;-)

coming days Look KG243
Looking forward to seeing this

Stem with right length arrives tuesday or wednesday and that was the only part missing.
