Many thanks for your feedback chaps. The wheels were particularly satisfying, and an exercise I would recommend everyone try at least once. I have to say with the 25mm tires on the Velocity rims, the ride is superb!

thank God this is too small for me. Beauty!

Ummm, anyone going to comment on this?

Right then chaps, I have donned the flame retardant jumpsuit and am ready to post a new project. I purchased a lovely Corsa Extra in Columbus SLX from Citizen Snips- a great transaction, thank you Vince! The build is primarily an Ultegra gruppo, with a Campy headset and Veloce compact...

I connected with Vince as he was clearly an experienced Merckx man. Not only did he provide solid advice about what to look for and frame geometry, he promised to keep his eyes open for the frame I wanted! Of course over time, he advertised a frame and fork for sale and I bought from him. He...

Very lovely Saarf. I see your work on other sites and am constantly amazed you find the time! I like the stem- is it a 3T Evol? I am looking at getting one for a new Merckx project.

any insights on this? is it a Colnago Super with a bad respray? is it worth buying? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/bi ... 59452.html

Many thanks for all of your thoughts on this topic chaps. It sounds like it is more trouble than it is worth! Happy riding everyone!

Hello; Apologies for the dumb questions, but I am very new to Campy having ridden Shimano all my life. I have a set of ergo levers off a bike I bought and want to convert them from 8 to 10 speed. I have a couple of questions: I cant figure out what the levers I have are- there are no...

needs to be in good running order

Thanks for your thoughts chaps. I know the Italian way should be the only way, but I also want to love riding this new build. I know Giovanni would roll over in his grave to see non Italian gruppo on one of his frames, but I think I want the choice of 10 speeds on top of it all, and in this case...

I recently picked up a neglected Battaglin frame with an awful aluminum fork. I have not been able to find a matching Battaglin fork, but was able to find a nice Columbus one, complete with Columbus doves panto'd on each shoulder. Now for the tough bit. We are an all Shimano household, and...

Have come across one for a cheap price and wondering if it is worth buying. Made from Columbus Nemo with a decent wheel set and campy gruppo. Any thoughts?

David, many thanks for this! I agree on keeping the quill handlebar combination in place, still would be nice to have some shiny bits up front! I went for my first ride and was really impressed how lively the frame felt. Climbing was actually great despite a lot of steep hills and only having...

As the title says, I have a full Centaur Century finish set and need a compact crankset-too many hills where I live!

Bike has arrived and looks great. Just starting to pull it together today. Any advice if I want to get rid of the black ITM stem (and bars) and change to a more classic silver quill? I believe the forks are 1 inch thread less, so can I use a quill stem on thread less?

Well done! The paint is so great on this frame and you have definitely done it justice with the build. Congratulations!
