Re: Re: Still looking for mavic brake levers. I got a bit distracted building a Z TVT but I really would like to get this one finished too

Pat, I completely get it regarding the scheme. Looking forward to seeing the complete bike.

Re: Re: Pat, your build looks awesome. I agree the single head tube version had been around in the pro peloton for some time. BTW I have a single head tube version in Z colours :) If you've got a lot of parts you could build a white head tube PDM version too :wink:

Re: Re: The frame was in really good condition so it's been kept with the original paint and decals.

No idea. Have you asked on these forums?

Wheels built, gears working, got most other parts, but I didn't manage to get suitable brake levers, still looking. :(

Congrats to Maca, excellent and immaculate build.

Happy New Year! Assuming a TT bike is ok to add? The bike was started by my dad, who didn't get chance to finish it. I finished it last year with the parts I think he'd have liked. So a bit of a joint effort. As near as we could, it's a Super Confex/Yoko/Colnago 1988 TT bike. Build thread...

Re: Re: Thanks I need to check I might have one which would be a better match than the campag.

Re: Re: Interesting I had them down as using Suntour XC seat posts, I don't have one of those either. The build halted until I get the brake levers, someone kept promising to sell me some but didn't get back to me. I've got a red and white Bottecchia which I used to race on up in the for...

Re: Bottechia Hi Joe, I've had another user ask the same. Courier means I have to do the packaging and I don't have time to sort that out for such items at the moment. That is why I'd prefer "buyer collects" The donation to https://www.mndassociation.org I was going to leave it up to the...

I'm after a pair of Modolo QT-EXE brake levers, preferably with white hoods in good condition. Or even better the Mavic 440 aero levers (if Unicorns do exist). cheers

Thanks, it has been hard to get some of the parts. I'm still looking for a pair of white 440 aero brake levers and a front skewer for 550RD hub.

Re: Re: Thanks I should say it's similar to ADR in it's colour but not the same spray pattern.

This bike was started last year, but I've only just got around to tensioning the wheels and fitting the headset. I don't have any Mavic brake levers, ideally I'd like to get Mavic 440 aeros, but Modolo equivalent would do. Also not sure what seat post hence the Campy one :) Pictures below.

Anyone know exactly what this is? To me looks like a master ibex but I thought the ibex has a longer seat lug than this one. The frame has gilco top and down tubes, embossed straight forks and under stays brake bosses. Not found a serial number either?

Just finished Anquetil, Alone by Paul Fournel. An interesting perspective and some nice little stories of the man and his mindset. Obviously loads on Poulidor and the battles. I did struggle with the translation at the start but once I got into to it enjoyed it. Nice little book.

The Paris wins it for me but not allowed to vote yet :(

Really like your display room :) Can I ask how are the higher bikes mounted? I want to do something similar but only with one bike ...
