Daccordi - Columbus SLX

[Mr Crudley]

Hi All,

I haven't pimped my roadie yet, so here it is for your enjoyment.

I have had this one for few years now and have made a few minor changes along the way. It rides really well and I have no desire for new CF road bike. I'm not sure of the era that it is from but might be late 80s to early 90s as a wild guess. Note to self: Ride this one more than the MTBs and other cyclepath bike.

* Daccordi Columbus SLX
* Campag 10 speed and accessories - mostly Chorus and Record.
* Campag Zondas but also have Ventos that are a fine wheelset despite their lower spec.
* Cinelli Pinocchio stem
* Selle Italia Well saddle.
* SPD's since I only want one type of clip in used i nthe fleet. Bonus points for bike shoes that don't make me to walk like a duck

Here are two shots, including my inaugural Tour de Sydney from Anzac day.

Can't go wrong with an SLX frame.

Errp, they are a bit low and I haven't really noticed. It feels comfortable which is the bottom line but does look a bit odd.
I am surprisingly not even a outside chance for a position in any peloton either
