Re:
Duraace-tastic!
Must get a photo of mine on your post again - have swapped those wonky bars for lovely tt bull bars - cobra carbon fibre by profile - similar comfy shape to Cinelli mash bull bars...and have some nice red/white tape to finish it off - finally there!
yes the older dura ace groupset does look good on the frame - probably a more similar era so looks a bit more authentic - but I guess the newer set gives better shifting and another gear or 2?
Daccordi need a webpage for their old bikes/customers - it would be great to see how others are...
Just saw the Token TK866CM Ti axle bracket at over £100 - lovely kit though. I managed to get some old truvativ stock for my jobs also with aluminum alloy cups etc - but no carbon fiber! Still nice quality though and increasingly hard to find with sq taper
I am still regretting not buying a...
Ouch!
When I ever I do that I might have a broken leg but first thought is...the bike!
I did a triathlon at the weekend - all carbon bikes etc - except one very classic looking Daccordi!
Steel appears to have all but disappeared so great to keep it alive and kicking
Re:
3 is probably enough I guess - I think your duraace build is lovely blend of old and new. I have taken mine out a few times now and am really enjoying having a bigger frame - very responsive. I've had to put a small stem on it so it fits... the large chainring is making for a fast top end...
Hi, Well I finally got it stripped down, touched up, relaquered and setup with bar shifter etc - for what was a lot of work - it looks much the same! Rides really nicely and I am enjoying the retro feel of it. Best W to you...time to fix up the other old bike now!
