Ventoux which is in the Provencal alps is no wear near the italian alps, unless you consider 200km close.

I think that is one they used when they didnt put the square sticker denoting 7000, 7005 ect.. on the front of the seat tube. Denoting heat treated but I think it will also be double butted and 7005 aluminium being one down from the top of the range EV alloy XL EV2. Ithink that decal could be...

Would you ever sell it? It looks amazing!

Looks like a 25 would fit, or is it tight with the chainstays?

Really cool that. The blue anodised bolts are a nice touch.

I think that Distrelec decal must be unique to the MTB frames as I have never seen it on a road one. Further to the tubing types mentioned I have also seen this one pictured below on the older frames (pre '99 I think) which I think is the lower end alu of the time. I've seen it on Pantani...

Nice. Yes mine has the same 'made in Italy' decal in the same position. They didn't have this decal when they changed to the new ML / XL ect.. naming conventions from 2002, although I think they were still made in Italy then.

From what I've read that is the Dedaccai 7005 tube set used on the lower end alu road bikes (Meg pro AL). As it doesn't say on the sticker I assume they wern't double butted. Still made in Italy though!

Ah explains it. I assume its been on there for years then and has basically welded its self in!

Hi. I think this is the correct area on the forum- if not please move! I have just got an aluminium Bianchi with a threaded steerer and an ITM quill stem adaptor for an 1.1/8" ITM stem. I assumed it would be a simple undo bolt and whack job but what I thought was a cap covering a bolt appears to...

Further to this I have just bought a Bianchi 'Mega X pro AL'. It has the threaded fork steerer and from research I think it is from around 1999-2000. From what I can find out they also did a 'Mega pro AL' which had the green 7005 badge on the seat tube. Mine has the yellow 7000 one as per the...

Re: Awesome. What age are the shifters? Looking at getting similar 10 speed ergos but hear that the post 07 ones have the lighter shift action which I dont like.

Thanks, yes TB14 with Sapim race spokes on Ambrosio Zenith hubs. Rides really niceley- pretty comfortable and not too heavy

Built up this frame which was built in 1996 for a pro team. Not sure on tubing other than it is Columbus. Cheers, Tim

I have just got a pair of these shoes with velcro and laces but am not sure how you should lace them up. They have lace holes on the front flap which you can see then the usual row of 5 holes underneath the flap(to the outside of the shoe). They also have holes in the tounge but I assume these...
