You too! Fuck… we’re old.

No, mix of 1st gen chorus and Athena. Usually on vintage roval tubular wheels, but they are in the shop.

Very nice! And Columbus is good stuff… I’m more into vintage, and 531 kinda dominates that, but my favorite is my slx de Rosa. I’d love to try a modern filet brazed frame one day.

Nice, what tubing? How much filing will the filets get?

Finally got a copy

This ones finally finished. Wasn’t happy with the pedals on it, so got some early 70s campy. Only the left one fit. Discovered the previous owner had the left arm tapped to 9/16, but the right was French. Got it tapped for 9/16 at the shop yesterday and hoping to ride after work. It’s a good mix of French (frame, cranks), Italian (lots of campy), and English(531 tubes, brooks pro)

Oh, I’ve been on classiclightweights.uk. I love the old stuff. Unfortunately the only uk bikes you see in the us are Raleigh. funny… the de Rosa is the most modern bike I’ve had. It’s a 7 speed freewheel and aero levers. Fancy.

That’s crazy. Seems like y’all still have good prices on other things tho… I’ve been buying tubulars from Merlin online because they are half the price as American shops for veloflex and vittoria

These came in over the weekend… the best. This is the one part, besides the saddle, that isn’t Italian on the bike. These just beat campy in every way.

Here’s a couple more… the green terry I built up for my girlfriend. The Serotta I got for my step dad.

After some upgrades

So… I’m loving this one.

New bike… 1973 motobecane le champion. Original except pedals, and upgraded to campy high flange record wheelset, tubular of course.

Red line selvedge, nice stiff denim, made in USA, red tab on back pocket... anyone heard of this brand before?

Got some weird ones off eBay today... cut off blue tab, lighter not very slubby denim, loose fit, and solid red selvedge. Pics soon. Edit: as far as I can tell they are pre 2007 xx-006

Dress the same? I’ve been saying for 15 years that fashion sucks. I like what I Ike.

Ok
