Very very nice. Those bottle cages reminded me of a titanium pair (can't recall the brand) I fitted to my road bike in the late 90s. Super light but on a practical level completely hopeless. They were just too flexy - a 750ml bottle would be shaken out on anything but a smooth road. You're...

This sounds like a nice project. What's it all being hung off then?

ITM Krystal titanium

I have also noticed that the ability on Campag's website to scour the archived technical brochures from the 80's and 90's is no longer there unfortunately (unless I've missed this). Was a useful source for part identification.

This is an interesting thread so I did a bit of digging in the RB archives. The '89 catalogues for both Centaur and Euclid show screw-on rear hubs as part of the groupset, but the only thing missing is a freewheel. There's no mention of what Campag suggest to use surprisingly given they do...

Very sad to hear. Another figure from my cycling past now departed.

I hope that's £40 the seller will pay to take the Scott off his hands; it's horrible. I know what you mean about the Pugs. I've seen a few in the classifieds that have that ridiculous jacked up front. It must be a poor design of replacement aftermarket springs. I had one replaced on my old...

Sounds about right, 93 or 94

Not catalogue spec! Not to worry, I understand if you can't set your gears up properly!!

Looks great with the natural patina. It's a real pity that Ground Control tyres that it would have come with are impossible to get hold of cheaply now. Please though, remove the plastic dork disk!

Nice bike. High spec and light for a steely. As a related aside, what's the difference between Ritchey Logic Prestige and Tange Prestige? I would guess nothing, and it's only some sort of licensing agreement between the two manufacturers, but interested to know otherwise.

Beautiful, you've done a cracking job there! However, please take an inch off both gear cable ends, it's playing havoc on my OCD for such things!
