Yeah the Campy grey/graphite stuff was awful.

I think it had a kind of a 'space age'/;'pc-digital age ' lookthat was meant to be fresh and clean but I dont know if it aged well aesthetically or physically(the anodisation).Impressive that a rear hub has given such sterling service .I guess you could say it was pre STI swansong?

Haha well spotted

A dream bike .I hope you get the right buyer .

Yes ...those seat stays!!!Amazing!

Hi guys ,I reckon I might get a quicker reply here than from hours of online research .Im looking at an ad for a keenly priced Colnago steel bike (no,I wont post link!) Now it has the attractive ornate lug style found on certain mid to late 90s Masters and the occasional Spiral Conic SLX but...

Thats brilliant!

Looks amazing ,just tighten up that gear cable :-)

Ellis Briggs do great social media and look well but have a couple of very negative reviews anyone got the genuine low down ?

Clearance not great .( tyre mark on paintwork ) ChInset is most likely Next thing to be swapped out along with prob some kind of ‘brifters’ being installed .But a test ride of new stem and tyres is priority -if it ever stops raining

Sorry ,hold on ,did you say youre going to transplant this lovely lightweight 531p frame into the heart of a cheap old HLE framed bike ?No matter how cherished the HLE that seems overkill .Like transplanting the mechanicals and interior of a Mini Metro into a Jag XJS shell

Is it true my old Campag Mirage 9 brake lever shifters will work with Shimano 9 if I slightly extend gear cable route by linking it around end of derailleur near eyelet bolt? Not in a massive hurry to ditch Dura Ace frame mounted gear levers ….Chainset could be next to go …..Thoughts...

Shorter quill stem fitted , more in keeping with my advancing years .Schwalbe Marathons replaced with my old Conti GPs ( almost one kg saving there !!!) Those 38cm Nitto B123s felt very fast on my two spins on this bike-much as I wanted to hate them …surprisingly they’re over twice the weight...

Sorry , yes , that’s what I meant .I can’t see an edit function .
