Great frame.. first class.

Love this.

Clover leaf was a thing w/ road racing. Not only Colnago. DeRosa had hearts but many builders played w/ those card game symbols .I agree w crimping feelling poor quality.

Love that stem.

It sure is a good looking post.

Fat Chance, on custom order i guess but i have seen a team comp built like that

Sandpaper? Lost cause?

I am interested in the brake shoes. Would you ship outside the UK? Should be a small package.

This is going to be a lovely bike and it may become your favourite. Ugly duck turning into a swan.

Agree on all acounts. If shipping wasnt a beast (i am on another continent) i would buy it now.

Bolts are heavy. Clamp is brutish as well. Otoh it has great design and finish is first class typical of suntour.

It's a very good design and easy to look at but the hardware, bolts mostly, are boat anchors

I have those pedals. Love them. Very light. Didn't know the model name was 9000.

IMO the most beautifull / best ti bikes are/ were Merlin, Moots/ Eriksen, Ibis and Fat Chance. By a healthy margin.

yeah, did something more primitive: first tried a fatter bolt and it broke inside. Next was threading another bolt inside the bolt's alum. mass. I believe it's far beyond a clean helicoil at this point.
