Stumbled across this thread… my brother purchased a 753 frame (unusual ‘Spen Velo’) some time ago with an alloy seatpost stuck.. managed to remove the old one using a horizontal boring machine at work.

An extreme way to go by machining the bore of the post until it went to wafer thin alloy, but did the trick 👍

First ride on the Dolan.. (Bianchi not finished just yet)

Front end is a little high so need to find a smaller top cap.. FSA orbit ce headset, looks to be 15mm. Anyone got an 8mm version in stock?? 😬

Can’t imagine this staying on for long at this price … Klein Rascal XT, lovely condition

Yes it’s a crude way of getting a shallow depth of field on these iPhones I agree!! Thank you ✊🏻

A bit of progress, just some gear cables needed… the silver groupset suits the celeste much better than the black shimano did.

Please excuse my garage, it’s a shithole at the moment!!

What a lovely balance bike!! Mine are on pedals now too.. Good luck!!

It does have a dump valve… just wished it had anti lag!! Longer 5th gear, injectors, ecu, running an easy 330bhp

It will look even more convincing when it’s running full campag with campag wheels!!

Yes good eye!! A Sapphire 4x4. Got a new varta battery on it when the weather was nice a couple of weeks ago, although I think it needs a new coil to get in running right.

Trek is ready to go, hoping to use it for the dragon ride in June!!

Half way there.. Dolan built up after fcking about with the front mech for a few hours.. until I realised the Chinese carbon hanger was setting the mech back about 6mm too far to the rear wheel and causing it to run like a bag of spanners.. BBB hanger fitted and now runs fine.

360mm wide bars fitted after finding the 420mm far too wide.. Pro PLT alloy bars for under £40 and weigh 240grams.

Upgraded the front mech to Ultegra after realising the 105 had a smaller band on…

Using some wide Chinese clinchers for comfort for the winter months, weight is 8.13kg (1.5kg lighter than the Bianchi) which should help.

Will be finishing the bianchi next 😎

After a few nice years of riding the ‘fake’ Bianchi, the weight was proving too much to hang onto fast winter group rides.. trying to keep up with faster riders on light carbon was killing me, so I’ve got the old Dolan Black Pearl off the trainer to get the campag swapped over with the shimano parts from the Bianchi.

Not trusting the Veloce gear performance in frequent shit weather rides, I’m swapping it from the Dolan on the Bianchi. Should suit the Bianchi better and get a lighter winter hack as a result. AKA - SHIT MGOOF 😎

Just missed this - on offer £30 at Merlin if anyone is looking

This looks lovely 👌🏻

Got my eyes open for the 7900 shifters, prices are silly now

This is excellent detail, thank you!

There may well be a J-tek shiftmate to solve this (10sp campag shifters/10sp shimano cassette I have setup), not quite like running campag/campag but it will do the trick.. just got to get all the slack out the cable setup and it’ll work fine 👌🏻

You remember! Stripping and putting a different gruppo on.. 105 R7000 & Hunt wheels off, veloce 10 speed & mavic ssc sl ksyrium silver wheelset on. Was considering moving the frame on, but it’s too nice/not worth enough ££ to bother! Got an older Dolan carbon frame to put the 105 groupset on

Hopefully someone in here managed to bag it!!!

Hello,

Clearing a few items out, Zipp service course SL70 beyond black bars, minor marking but look good fitted, £30 posted U.K. only

Thanks

Klein Quantum Pro frameset yellow orange with a few minor marks £250 BIN would make a lovely project for someone!!! Fighting to resist

Excellent thank you both, lifeline is always ok 👍

Hello all,

Doing a build at the moment (old Dolan) & looking for a complete cable set, previously I’ve picked up jagwire kits (probably 4/5 years ago in fairness) at £30-£40 which were great, although now it’s either brake or gear at twice the price.

Apart from getting separate parts, is there a way to pick up a complete kit for normal money nowadays? Feel like a complaining old tw*t here but I’m sure someone knows better!!

Thanks

Stunning bike!!! GLWS

Looking a beaut! Nice and purposeful with the longer stem .. Are you running chunkier rubber on the flat bar build?

Bit of a mixed bag with prices on 7700, is this 7700 all octalink??

Cheers for that. Never ventured into 7700, not sure if it’s a reasonable price or bonkers like the rest of dura ace kit
