Great project! Never had a mini myself, would love to have the space to do something like this! Looking forward to updates!

I like the look of this! my size too ;)

Parkpre's are great, I regret selling my pro elite 😢

Yes the ritchey looks great, the main negative at least for me is the lack of colour options

That coppi is nice! but I am after something "modern" geometry, larger diameter tubing, oversized headset, slightly sloping TT, etc. But still sticking with rim brakes, preferably, unless I find something that I just can't say no to that only comes in disc... So far the Cinelli seems to be the...

still looking for options... the Merckx Corsa Mendrisio looks pretty good, even if nowadays it's not made in the Merckx factory. Disc only though... I think I am pretty set on: rim brakes external (or at least semi-external) cabling threaded BB "oversize" steel or ti carbon fork preferably...

Im just trying to work out if the DT is like that on purpose, or if it's had a serious front end shunt 🤣

Nearly a year on... Still looking!

Good points. I think the "barrel" part is the same diameter so lever angle per shift will be the same, but I will measure. Just got to wondering about this on the way home this afternoon, no other reason!

Useless thought for the day... I think the very early barend shifters were just standard straight DT levers with a different mount. When did Shimano and/or anyone else start making them with the more recent "bent" shape, and why? Is it just to help stop losing grip on them? Something else? I...

If you want to use with a nutted caliper, just use a decent washer between fork and nut

I'll take the rear mech please, pm me your PayPal and I'll send funds Thanks

Some simplex mechs require a dedicated hanger. Not sure if they can be adapted for standard hangers

more than likely the delrin bushing. stupid design that one.... no idea if it can be swapped between the campag and shimano freehub bodies - if you can take them apart then I suggest measuring to see if they're the same?

ok, it's a lot easier to adjust everything once cabled up!
