Re: Still looking!

Looking for a 56cm (circa) steel Specialized Allez, anything from the mid-late 80s would work. Any colour and configuration considered, as well as frameset only, as long the conditions are good. Anything laying around? Thanks! Federico pictures for reference:

I ended up removing the CdA/Athena graphite groupset, CK headset and modern bits for a more conservative C-Record/Chorus mix, plus longer stem and Record headset. Pleased with the result but I think I'll put a classic Flite Ti on it sooner or later.

Looking for a set of 26" wheels on M560 hubs. Cosmetic condition not really important as long they are solid and braking track is in good nick! :wink: Based in London!

This looks tidy!! I'm about to start to build one of these but I don't have the frame yet with me... but can't resist and need to get some parts ready! Do you know the seatpost diameter by any chance?

Some new close-ups or narrow BB and stays:

Done ;)

Maybe because most people nowadays are used to downsize their frames (compact geo, big saddle-to-bars drop, shorter reach, etc) and when getting a classic frame they don't know what size to get?

Thanks guys! :shock: Why's that? Too much going on in your opinion? I personally think that the seatpost complete the motif like it happens now on more recent carbon framesets! I'm still wondering anyway why it has a limited edition (100th Paris Roubaix) sticker, as to me this frame looks...

Here's a couple of changes, I am sorry as there is not much retro left anymore :facepalm:

And for who's wondering how a sausage looks like when is riding this bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4eIqmdASGA

Added a brake for proper road testing (Casiraghi Industriale cable for who's wondering): PS: As I've seen pictures from the 1994 attempt, Moser's bike had as well the fork drilled, but just to mount the computer.

You think so? :D

thanks guys!

Re: Re: I think the same, usually, but this time I really wanted to play a bit and go outside the box. I've seen soooo many shiny Montellos that it made me think, why another one? It's a late 80's bike, and in my opinion it shines in its own way :wink: Ps: the chrome wasn't really bad but...

10.5kg, not a lightweight for sure :)

Thanks, I don't know the colour code/name as the guys at Argos showed me a their fluo samples and this was the only fluo pink they had... I saved the chrome on front and rear dropouts, filled all the pantos, straighten the front mech hanger and in total was little less than £300 (I provided the...

Everything started a couple of years ago, while in holidays back home in Treviso, Italy, I picked up a Pinarello Montello in banesto paint (nothing much left of it) and brought it in London, where I'm currently living. The paint and decals were in horrible conditions, a-head stem and a fully...

"restored" the disc wheel and taped the bars... I think now I can leave her alone :)
