Have got the roadie bug quite bad. Originally it was to be some modern aluminium thing but thats now my neighbours for him to get fit. So a chance carboot purchase some donkeys years ago, Saracen cro-mo forks and a ratty Wes Mason frame brings together a rather natty looking bike.

105/ Ultegra 10spd (another chance carboot purchase) with some debadged Gippieme Tecno wheels from Wiggle

I love it!
the colour remind my my commuter (bianchi rekord 745), and the 105 groupset it's a real great groupset!
also ATMO, retromod is the future!
why buy a modern cheapy roadbike if you can "retromodernis" a good "old" frame with a low investment?
great bike!
 
that wheels should be a great value wheels!
are they noisy like campagnolo?
i've looked for them some weeks ago, before choosing another pair...
 
The wheels are a little noisy but not as loud as some.

The shifting is standard shimano STI, no mods or conversions.
 
Better pic in the laughable August 'sunshine'

Might save up for some carbon forks as the Saracen used are a little heavy
