Damm!

Thzts a fine lookin beast!

 

[markyp]

may be able to get mavic front and rear mechs......fingers crossed!

 

[markyp]

shimano rear mech now replaced with mavic ssc!!!!

 

[Tel]

Good stuff.

You do know that Modolo are Italian though don't you? Surely some Mafac sidepulls or Spidel brakes are in order and Atax bars and stem with an Ideale saddle perhaps.

I love retro French stuff....

Glad the mech went to something french, get some pics up!

Looks stunning...

That looks great, I have the same model but am currently changing it to singlespeed.

Are those the original (or original style) decals? Mine has lost all its decals, or I've removed the remains of them. The lugs polish up a treat don't they? I'm working my way around with Autosol and an old t-shirt just now, just got the fidly bits left.

oooh, it's all a compromise!..

using the peugeot vitus as ridden by the pro team as a reference....
I've had a quick look and I remember them using cinelli stem.bars
I've got phillips bar/stem but the bars are a bit narrow, etc....plus I do prefer cinelli 64-42's
didn't they use weinman brakes (it was kelly with the KAS team that used modolo on their vitus's [viti?])...

coudn't gind a matching hub for the rear...only ones I could find were french threaded....
Got some mavic hubs.....need to find some rims. I've got some Mavic E3(?) but are 36h not 32h as required....

hopefully be riding it in March in a 10mile TT.....
