i do love an MB - managed to grab one myself a few years back having lived in dronfield for 13 years. they ride lovely and the shop confirmed for me that i was a 1982 model built for a local racer. your colour scheme is lovely - something very different. i like it and good to see you using it...

that's stunning - some great details

very generous - good job

I hadn't, research says it's German tubing used by a few of the Italian manufacturers. Got a reasonably decent reputation by all accounts. The groupset is from 2000 so it must have been upgraded at some point. There's a sticker on the frame referencing the Atlanta Olympics in 1996

Just been and had a good look at that as I hadn't noticed it, it does appear to be deliberate and is a drilled hole rather a rotted tube. Must be for drainage but it's rather large in size. Will strip the BB and have a good look in there.

I've just given it a good wash and spent 10 mins on the forks today and it's come up well already. When I've got time I'll give it a deep clean and service.

Just picked this up for a steal. Lovely condition and rides very nice. Swapped out the wheels and fitted a bigger cassette. It's running sora 3300 but no idea if it's original. Serial number under BB is 2r57a I think. Any info out there to help me identify it?

make sure you fit decent compression-less outer cables and they'll perform very well.

lovely, cheers

they look decent for the money - do they work ok with road shifters? i fitted the trp hyd-rd on my wifes' gravel bike and they work well but obviously much more expensive.

and the road version are of course more expensive!

that's a stunner - will look amazing built up

that seat post looks great. tight squeeze for that front tyre - breath in!

very nice, that's lovely
