Very nice GT 👍 👌 Definitely one of the best road bikes ever made

Indeed, the Full Pro Monocoque and the Full Pro Lux and the Road racer had this fork. Anyway this fork is heavy and make the bike frame weights over 3 kilos, so it will be changed by a full carbon one with a carbon steerer

Indeed

Well, no I have I will disagree with you, I have a Time Millenium carbon fork on my Peugeot Prestige made of Reynolds 708 Classic since 16 years it never snapped. It would be a different story with made in China carbon fork. I don't like dead weight on front when riding a road bike.

Will very probably change the fork by a much lighter Reynolds Ouzo carbon fork since this one is quite heavy and will install a cane creek headset and a headset stem on it for reducing weight

Good Afternoon One of my favorite German ebay sellers had a stunning deal at a killer price, so I jumped on it. I never had a japanese bike frame before and the 3 Rensho, Cherubim, Zunow, Kalawinka were way out of my price reach. I stumbled on this very nice pristine Myata Gents Lux frame that...

Interesting but here is what what Condor says about Reynolds 953, I quote : "We selected Columbus XCr tubing for our stainless steel frames because XCr is the highest grade of stainless tubing available. It is a seamless tube with an ultra-smooth surface. The tubes are cold drawn multiple times...

It was one of the most complicated to weld materials, Mobilette made one bike with that tubing called the Curve, one of the riders complained that the Front triangle wasn't as stiff as the rear. I have never seen in my life a frame with this tubing

Very nice Cannondale 👌 👍

Dedacciai DR Zero and Columbus Max, EL, Genius , Nemo and Foco are fine. I have an old Grandis Overmax a specific derivative of the Columbus Max which is very stiff but yet very comfy. On mine I have fitted 700*23 since the wheels I have on it don't allow much more than 700*23 or 700*25. Genius...

Wanted something special as brake calipers for this build so went with Mavic SSC Dual Pivot brakes

very nice titanium 👍 👌

Very nice classic bike 👍 👌

pretty sure , it is columbus xlr tubing 👍

Campagnolo started to be very finicky since the early 00's even their dual pivot brakes couldn't brake as perfectly as Shimano Dura Ace first generation Dual Pivot BR7410 brakes, their wheels are barely fixable and reliable over the long run. In most of other countries of Europe, people have...
