i find rolls buffalo and old turbo perfect all day ! but still get a slight twang on the prostate i know fizik arion's look good and are v popular but something chunkier like a flite might suit the build better.that selle bassano,shape looked ok for me but was just too hard.

Lovely Merckx you have there. A slipping rear wheel is caused by poor quality qr skewers. Just get yourself a pair of DA 7700 skewers and you should be fine.

Re:

Thanks Stephan!
A set of dura ace 7700 hubs, laced to open pro rims should be on this way, including dura ace skewers :mrgreen:

Re:

So here it is for now!
I changed the seatpost back to the 7400 aero seatpost as I liked it better.
Only thing I still need are some dura ace quick releases, but no rush for that.

I'm a happy guy



...and yes it needs some better pictures.
