Hi, from the top and the front, please. Also are you able to check if it’s a 26mm clamp size? I appreciate you might not be able to confirm that, but I thought I’d ask. The photos might also help with that if I can work out what model it is. Thanks

Thanks, and I feel your pain 😖

Would it be possible to see some more photos of stem 3, please? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to add them to this thread. Thanks.

Finally the frame arrived today. Overall, I'm happy with how it's come out. The paint job is very good, and the colour is exactly as I had hoped – it's a dark metallic blue that looks very dark at times, but when light hits it, the blue shows a lot more, as does the metallic shine. Some of...

Interesting info. I wonder what the Italians thought about Belgian makers putting the Italian tricolour all over their frames? I suspect the Flandria connection mentioned on the site where I found that other Campione was speculation on their part – you're probably right that it was made by a...

Ah, I was asking @non-fixie about his bike. His looks to have a tube manufactures sticker on it, whilst yours doesn’t, actually, so that might remain a mystery with yours. It will be nice to see it complete again. Do you have any particular plans for it?

Very nice. Made by some Italian-obsessed Belgians, I guess. What’s the tubing used on yours?

Here’s an example of another Campione: https://www.classicsteelbikes.com/product/cycle-campione-size-59ct/ According to this they were made by the Flandria factory in Belgium. Yours is set up as a time trial bike, and from the paint job I would guess it’s from the late 80s or early 90s, but...

You can get shims for the FD (look on eBay for example). But I would agree sticking to Shimano would be the easier way to go.

Two churches 800 years apart; first the Church of St Andrew and St Cuthman, Steyning, built 1090. According to legend, St Cuthman wheeled his aged mother around in a wheelbarrow until stopping in Steyning to found a church. Second, the Church of the Good Shepherd, Shoreham-by-Sea, built...

Sure - I wasn’t meaning to be sniffy about either of those groups, by the way, so I hope it didn’t seem that way. RSX is very decent for what it is, really. I just remember being a bit disappointed with the build quality of Xenon.

I had 9 speed Xenon on a winter bike a while back, and although it worked well enough, I did have two shifters break in fairly quick succession - the plastic levers broke off in both cases. I would say that being the budget end of Campagnolos range, that groupset is not really up to the quality...

Is the current set up 7 speed? Just thinking that if so the rear spacing won’t allow for 9 speed.

I couldn’t resist this photo opportunity in Brighton today. Just a short ride, dodging the usual tourists along the seafront.

This made me realise I didn’t post my other, other MB on this thread. It’s the least good-looking of my MBs, but it is actually my size for a change. 1990 MB Dronfield, 531 Competition. 10 speed restomod build.
