I assume paint is coming soon?
I first have to sand blast the frame, my brother in law has a cabine for this, so will do this after the holidays
I learned the hard way that you have to do the following. Maybe you know all this but I sure didn't!
all info s welome mate
(Aside of course from cold setting the stays wider)
my wheelset has a 126mm hub, I could put the wheel in with a little effort, I just pulled the stays a litlle.
Is that ok or do I really have to set them?
-Reinforce the internal seattube so the butting extends lower. Otherwise a long post will snap the frame..
how can I do that?
-Face the headtube and bb.. they are always off..you can do this after paint but it might pull the paint off.
-check the frame alignment.. Can be "persuaded back square..
what do you mean by that?
-drill out the seatpost collar qr hole a bit as it is too small diameter for a campy qr
Good luck with it! Our bikes are sort of peas in a pod!
