Lovely frame, nice to see it get a new lease of life. 👍

That frame is an absolute beauty. Great colour and the forks are gorgeous!

Re: 1981 Claud Butler Colstar - DuraAce #035210 Wow, they did a great job on that! Looking forward to the final assembly.

Re: 1981 Claud Butler Colstar - DuraAce #035210 I'm actually amazed that you managed to find a set. NOS too!

Re: 1981 Claud Butler Colstar - DuraAce #035210 But you seemed to be having so much fun, we didn't want to ruin it! Are you blinging up your dura ace with a briefcase full of exotic japanese parts?

What's the mount on the front mech please? Thanks, Martin

Re: 1981 Claud Butler Colstar - DuraAce #035210 I love the way the concept keeps evolving for this one. It's going to be fantastic, between the frame rejuvenation and the top notch components! I'll just sit over here quietly with my popcorn and wait for the show finale after the intermission.

Hmmmm... Non original forks, the originals damaged in a crash perhaps. You must have found JPMs bike! ;)

I missed this post first time around. That's a beauty, I love the colour. The Rapparee workshop was about 30 miles from me and I remember these frames showing up on club rides and starting lines in the late 80's. Lovely frames but out of my price range as a schoolboy racer at the time. I...

Re: 1981 Claud Butler Colstar - Shimano 105 #035210 FINISHED-ish Looks really good. That's a big frame though!

Re: Re: Are you sure it's the original Campag BB axle and not an aftermarket replacement? If the bolt were to bottom out on the axle it would torque up before the arm was fully tight on the taper.

That's Very pretty! Do you mean the bolt that attaches the crank arm to the bottom bracket axle? They don't normally cause problems when torqued up correctly which makes me question whether the arm is seating correctly on the BB axle taper.

I think they sell leather washers that you can use during assembly to eliminate any rattle.

Yup, that's the proper retro job! :D

Maybe you could use the band to attach adjusters like the image below rather than the shifters?

What's going on with the downtube shifters and cables? :?

I've seen some awful tat with Max's name on it but he did produce some world class turntables. Sadly, I no longer own either of the above Rocks.
