Yes
But now, I have to do the more difficult job : to be less heavy

bike and the pics are beautiful...
if i could wish something to change: some mavic shifters and another seatpost. but its cool that way.

 

[24pouces]

I agree for the mavic shifters, but hard to find…
On other hand, the Dura-ace-Paul are too modern but they still are in the spirit of a retro bike. I didn't want to built a museum bike. I ever have some. But I want to ride this bike. It's so magic and fun. I, I choose items which works fine and which are in the spirit of the bike.
Titanium bike are timeless

Something new a bout the frame…
So, yesterday…

and…

It's a 1992 frame, with the grease card specific bottom bracket and U brake bosses. In that very small size, it was a graal. Now it's reality !

 

[newsboy]

looks really nice... only the stem looks too long.

 

[24pouces]

First, I tried with the 120mm stem, but this frame is very shorter than the other. I've got very small legs but long arm !
With this 125, I prefer and the bike is a little stabler.

First, I'm going to use a campy U-brake I've got in my stock.
But when I can, I'm going to a Paul U brake.

Question : U brake or roller-came ?

 

[newsboy]

if you have a rollercam... sell it to me and use the u-brake!

enjoy the frame. way too cool.

 

[24pouces]

if you have a rollercam... sell it to me and use the u-brake!

You give me a little answer !

 

[RockiMtn]
