That’s a very relevant point. But of all the material things to purchase, well-appreciated music has to rank amongst the most justifiable? (I’ve recently paid £90 for an audiophile mastering of Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark CD. Never spent anything like that before on a CD, but it’s the best...

Yep. I’d like to hear opinions regarding this..

Can’t help being reminded of the Muddy Fox Ti on Jim’ll f*#@n Fix It!

Muddy Fox produced I think….?

Love a Jubilee, especially a drillium one (which is slightly heavier!). But a Walter edges it for the weight weenie title - https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/walter_derailleur.html

As a massive Allan Holdsworth fan and a collector of vintage Campag, I was amazed to discover his track Tullio was a tribute to Mr Campagnolo! Apparently he was an avid cyclist and really into the man and his products 😀

Agree with preserving the finish. There will come a time when all the team frames left will sport fresh refinished livery, - often heavily done with poor colour matching and crudely replicated decals. We’ll realise what a mistake we made when it’s too late, and original finishes will be highly...

What really puzzles me is that the Mistral crankset is the perfect complement to the Premier derailleur, having the same amazing finish. Beautifully made components.

Terrible teenage backpacking memories of Trangia. Not only was it like trying to cook with a couple of candles, but some stores refused to sell us meth’s.. (I didn’t look that rough!). The Dragonfly above is like a Bunsen burner in comparison.

Cool. There are a few references to the frames being made in Hodaka’s custom-shop rather than their main production facility, but I’m not sure of that. Either way they’re very nicely made, and yours looks in great nick!

Beautiful...

An irony is, the better turntable systems get the more they loose that warm euphonic sound and the more they sound like CD Vice versa too - top quality CD players become more fluid, solid, dynamic and 3 dimensional..

Bearings. Great call. CDs played through a really good non oversampling DAC turn out to be way better than you’d imagine.

Very cool bike. And proving that high rise stems are in fact, very cool as well..

Are you looking for any particular year Phill? I bought a couple of Jetstream’s from the distributor in ‘98. Stored the little one and built up the 19”. It’s my favorite bike to this day. I think the D’Fusion models ride a bit differently to the earlier Logic Prestige ones.

How could you say such a thing! 😳 Personally I really love Campag’s Valentino era finishing. But (for derailleurs at least) FiR Gemini and Ofmega Premier are possibly the nicest…?

Beautiful as well. Huret’s singular dalliance with fine quality finishing!
