Venturi Columbus Genius Italian 🇮🇹 Fillet Brazed unique race MTB

And thanks to @Magpiegifts and @Rod_Saetan for these Ritchey Logic brakes and levers
I’ve since discovered that the Bottom Bracket is the larger shell so my XT one won’t do - once I get that I can install the cranks.
the saddle is a Fabric Scoop Ti and this is for riding as it’s my favourite but will get a fitting Flite Ti or similar for this.
I’ll also need a M900 front mech and then decide on cabling. So watch this space - I may get it finished in time for the BoTm this month

Almost forgot
And Shimano M008 Shifters. I wasn’t keen on the Shimano Brifters and wanted Ritchey Logic brakes and levers.
M008 isn’t period correct but close enough - other option would be to get some M900 shifter pods and mount them using the 3rd party bits

Oh and I’ll need a cassette - has to be M900

What do you think ?

Ritchey Logic WCS bar ends - but alas no decals

Looks fast.

Looks fast.

Thanks - it probably will be quick as cranks and bottom bracket and brakes yet to be installed but it’s so light - this is going to be a ~20 lb bike. Potentially lighter, and if I had gone with lighter cranks, 500g tyres etc. It would fly away

This is definitely coming together very nicely! Thos M900 parts all look in great condition! The satin finish of the stem looks like it fits well with the bars, seatpost and rear mech on those photos.

Thank you. It is. I changed the bar to the Ritchey Prolite WCS to match the Seatpost.
And they work well with the stem
