    My 1998 Vetta Team

    The Vetta Team is officially built up. I rode it on a short distance and it is very responsive and terrific in terms of handling. It is a Billato built bike made of Deda Dr Zero Uno with a Columbus Sintema fork

    1995 GT Psyclone

    There was one Pscyclone for sale on ebay back a year ago but I didnd't pruchase it because the size was too small and price with shipping and customs was way out of my league. The Pysclone was made with True Temper OXP and with Reynolds 853and was nicely fillet brazed. A rare bike that I would...

    2022 Dura Ace, Ultegra & 105 electronic groupsets

    Castorama was using an alumanium Altec bikes by Maxisports with Dura Ace 7410 and they weren't that heavy. Other like Gianni Bugno used Columbus tubed frames and their bikes were in the 9,5 kilos-9,8kilos bracket. The 7-11 bikes were also using DA 7400 but with True Temper tubing and they proved...

    2022 Dura Ace, Ultegra & 105 electronic groupsets

    DA 7800 and DA 7900 work fine too and they are still good to this day despite being 10 speed groups. Glad for you that your 9000 works well, I prefer the DA 7800 in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics but that is me

    2022 Dura Ace, Ultegra & 105 electronic groupsets

    yes but the modern rear derailleurs especially shimano shadow derailleurs are not that beautiful and sram even worse. 10 speed cassette with a double or a triple cranks over plenty of ratios and much more than having a 12 speed casette with a single crank . I am not even men,tionning about the...

    What do you think of Shimano ditching rim brakes in 105 and higher?

    I only purchase Dura Ace ST 7800 brifters for doubles and only Dura Ace 7800Rear Derailleurs, Front Derailleurs, Brakes, bottom brackets and crankset. I have a road bike projects, I sadly won't spend money on Dura Ace 7900, 9000, 9100 and 9200 because more fragile, more difficult to repair and...

    What do you think of Shimano ditching rim brakes in 105 and higher?

    dura ace 7800/ ultegra 6600/105 5600 worked and works fine and without any problems. Price of new old stock mint in box dura ace st 7800 brifters is above 1000€, very good ones from 300€ to 500€. These older STIs didn't have cable shifting eating issues unlike brifters with internal cable...

    The unexpected purchase , the Basso Viper

    I think it happened in the 2005-2010 but not sure, mine is a 1994 model so a 30 years old model and at the time Basso used exclusively Dedacciai Zero 18MCDV6 HT steel , not sure if it is still the case. I bought the frame because many years back I tried a Basso Zer which I liked a lot which...

    Sigma from 2005 ish

    With DA 7800 you will have not only a beautiful but a very light and very responsive bike and much of better craftsmanship than what is built today

    Sigma from 2005 ish

    High quality frame with high quality tubing and very high quality welds 👍 The Dedacciai 7003 was a rival of the Altec 2, it won Tour de France with Riis an Ulrich. I have aDe Rosa Planet made of it, one of the best frame I have ever purchased
