Nice Daccordi - they sure know how to build a good looking, great handling bike. and good job holding on to it for so long, and keeping it in such good shape - it looks spotless!

bought some new corsa g+ 25mm tires on clearance, and finally got to try them out today. rides much better then the old rally tubulars, and even though these old fashioned 32 spoke rims sure dont feel as light and playful as modern ones, they are comfy, bombproof and quite stylish ;)

Great job - light components, light wheels, comfy frame... i bet it rides as good as it looks! And i know the feeling of completing a bike and not being able to take it out for a proper spin - i still havent been able to take my precious Daccordi out on a proper trip due to all the gravel and...

My trusty old Daccordi Freccia (or DBS Professionale, whatever you prefer) is ready to be gifted - it's been set up for newbie friendly usability, and rides super nicely on the modern(ish) fulcrum wheels with gp4000 tires, the big cassette seems to shift fine out on the road as well. The pedals...

if anyone ever wondered if you could fit a 30t cassette on an old short cage shimano 600 derailleur, then the answer is yes you can! at least it shifts beautifully through the entire range on the workstand - will take it for a ride outside tomorrow to check if it behaves just as nice on the road.

wait, are those carbon dura-ace 7800? Aren't those rare as hens theeth?!

Looking good! though i think i would have gone for a black saddle to go with the white tape. Or maybe i'm just scarred from constanly scrubbing my old selle san marco concor, trying to keep it nice and white... ;) :mrgreen: Are the new kinlin rims you are getting the same ones Hunt are using...

yeah, i have enough of them now, and i definitely don't want to pay international prices for one ;) anyway, since i now officially have to many of them, I'm currently refreshing the Cromor framed "Professionale" bike (the one to the right in the photo above) and prepping it as a birthday...

Thanks! Right now i'm leaning towards the black tape, since the white kind of crashes with the pale tanwalls. It's not really apparent on photos, but in real life there was just something about the different hues that didn't harmonize. it worked a lot better before, with the old blue rubino pro...

trying out different cockpits. deda murex, nitto m106, white tape and hüdz hoods. cinelli giro d'italia handlebars, cinelli stem, stock shimano hoods and black tape.

Got some hunts for the DA 7800 Daccordi. it's now looking incredibly tasteless, and i love it ;)

Looks nice and shiny! Though it might look similar to the way it did before the refresh, nothing beats the feeling of riding a well oiled, freshly rebuild bike ;) finding the perfect bar tape is super hard though - i usually do a quick test in photoshop before committing to a color change, just...

got hold of some silver bar tape. looks alright, but i might change it for some perforated black tape. need some new tires as well, as these ones are of an unknown age and not in the best condition... anthracite vittoria corsa tubs perhaps?

well, you just saved me a lot of gray hairs by confirming yours worked perfectly, leading me to solving this mystery once and for all :mrgreen: Turns out there are two kinds of 600 front derailleurs, and the bike was outfitted with the earlier FD-6400. installed a later model FD-6401, and the...

it's really not that hard to assemble it without the tool, fiddly yes, but once you find the technique it's not too bad - i have done it many times.

yeah, i know about the trim, but no matter how i set it up i seem to get some rubbing with either the highest or lowest gear combination, since it doesn't seem to pull enough wire to clear the entire range with good margin. right now i have it set up so that the highest gear rubs, as i seldom...

Looks great! As usual Klein delivers in the paint department ;) I also agree the modern claris levers have superior ergonomics compared to the 600 levers, even though the look a bit dull without chrome or shiny metal. Have you managed to dial the claris levers in using the 600 front...

The bike looks perfect - great job! And now my lust for spinergy's has been reignited again... ;)

and it's pretty much done - just needs some bar tape and it's good to go. it turned out to be in very good shape underneath all the grime, with just a few marks in the paintwork and a bent rear derailleur (i had a spare one, so no problem). the crank arms were a bit scratchy, so i gave them a...

looking good! i say go with DA 7400 - it just looks right, and you can always try to hunt down some brifters if you tire of the DT shifters ;)
