Mike Muz's 2004 Colnago C50, (PR14 colour scheme)
No build thread, sorry. Built during my hiatus from here. Apologies. Dura Ace 7800, Mavic Helium wheels shod with Vittoria Corsa CX Open tyres, in oh so retro 23mm

 

[Mike Muz]

Apologies for the confusion, I couldn't cope with the newness of my previous entry!

Here is my updated and recently resprayed 1997 Raleigh Royal, a vintage tourer that I think can hold it's own with most modern bikes of a similar type.



And the frame freshly back from repair and respray at Argos cycles.



The story about it is here. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads...-50-years-apart-restomod.449624/#post-3508426

Before and after shots of this Kessels Main d’or.
A light resto (clean and polish) and changing derailleurs to Simplex and Chainset to Stronglight. The wheels were damaged so needed replacing, to me it just looks right.
And it rides right too.

Kessels Main D'or.

I like collecting out of the ordinary bikes, just bought this one and starting to find out a bit more about her. It's going to be a light touch resto but going to change the Shimano deraillieurs to Simplex, wheels have damaged rims so they need replacing too.

Isn't the cut off point 1999? I remember that Battaclin being too young.

Indeed; I think Mike's second post was in recognition that it was a bit too new to meet the criteria.

Regardless, here is the ol' (early '70s) Favorit still getting out for some fresh air.
