By coincidence, I finally am getting around to this one. Landed a pretty much mint looking silver Chorus 9 speed groupset for it. For now it will get some nice silver handbuilt wheels I have on hand but I'll be looking for some sweet tubulars for it once the bike funds recover. I've settled...

Took the first pics of this yesterday since finishing the build.

Re: And More:

So, this winter I scored a "used" but new Ultegra 8000 groupset at a great price and went looking for a NOS frame to put it on. I came upon this one at an Italian site and after some negotiating I pulled the trigger. Hard to find info on it but I did find out it uses a rare 24.3 seatpost which...

Re: Well this is getting closer to being done. I've got the right wheels in, proper stem, handlebars, and the perfect saddle for it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use the yellow cable housing with this instead of black. I may have to go down to a 700 x 23 tire on this or at least the...

Re: Have you checked here? They normally have a variety of Suntour parts in their inventory http://www.bikerecyclery.com/ Another possible source: http://boulderbicycle.bike/

Picked this frame up recently on a whim but can't find much about them. I did find one mention in an old Vitus Catalog. Mine is 130mm rear spacing but I also found a post or two online mentioning 126mm spacing so maybe they were made for awhile? It'll be built up with a Ultegra R8000...

Columbus EL Oversize

Just thought I'd share this here, my latest find. It's a beautifully built and painted Paletti but I have no clue as to the model. Currently planning on building it up with a Campagnolo 10 speed Record groupset I have on hand. Mix in some Eurus rims and Cinelli bars and I think it'll turn out...

Re: Sweet! I contacted them a few years back trying to pin down a year on an old Cabestany I had found locally. They helped as best they could while admitting to not having the best records from that era. Did give link to a treasure trove of Orbea catalogs. This is the Orbea, mid 80s is...

Re: The hardest part of sticking to full Dura Ace is finding economical brake levers. The cost almost drives you to brifters. Or should I say the cost of the hoods. I've got a set without hoods and finding the right hoods is like searching for the holy grail, LOL! Right now it's sporting...

Just thought I'd update this a bit. Full on winter still here so I still haven't gotten a ride in on this. But I have done several things to it. I coldset the rear to better handle a modern 130mm wheelset. Then I mounted on an older set of Mavic Kyseriums SL wheels with some Vittoria Open...

Re: Yep, I wish I knew why the repaint and ribble decals. If I could tie the bike to racer looking like it does I'd leave it alone but right now I'm thinking about pulling off the decals.

9 speed Dura Ace is good stuff!

Well, I waited a few days after the first response from them saying they'd look into it and then emailed again. I got a response back from a manager that day. I did point out in the first email that I was a long time customer. I realize their time is valuable and helping with something like...

Re: That has turned out quite nice!
