Shaun,

It is the 7400. It is Rossin bound when i get the frame sorted.

Richard is it really just the paint color that is holding this up?

The these are wonderful my spare 175 set.

What's the idea of those? Do they move the power stroke round to somewhere more favourable?

Steven,

In answer to your query - YES!! lol

Bobtoo i guess the theory is that you increase torque by moving the point of application of the force. Not 100% sure that the theory is correct thinking back to my A level physics.

If only the PPB was this good

I would be very happy with this little lot

That engraving in 46p2's post is something else. It is reminiscent of the hand engraving (ie not using machine tools) on high end shotguns. Far too nice to ride and for me that misses the point - form and function and all that.

...Far too nice to ride and for me that misses the point - form and function and all that.

I think the point is they are still function-able and rideable as using it would not deteriorate it in any way whatever, the only vulnerable part I can see are the crank arms as many cyclists tend to rub their heels in this area when pedalling. The chainring has not been pantographed and therefore easily swapped out when it wears

I don't generally like over-the-top engraving but that Tommasini is beautiful. But what happens if you want to lower the seat?
