This is what I was saying the other day: Brake levers have 3 positions for cable head placement, but brake cams also have 3 positions. This is going to be fun, too many options, half a year of testing and retesting is guaranteed. 🤣

I saw this piece the other day and couldn't resist: Tiso and blue. I think it would go really well with the head set. Unfortunately, I only had one, but better than nothing. It arrived today and I couldn't help but run to place the piece.

Thank you very much. I really like how it turned out, and honestly, the most incredible thing about the bike is its fantastic weight distribution. It's very well balanced; in fact, it feels lighter than it is. Honestly, when you ride it, it feels like it weighs a kilo less.

Thanks for the comment. Well, I've always liked "hard" saddles. In the '80s, I had an Iscaselle Giro d'Italia, and that was a real rock! 🤣 I currently ride a San Marco Superleggera on the Look Ti, although it has a bit of padding, but it's similar to this Aspide. I ride a Saevid (that one is...

Thank you very much. The brake levers are absolutely beautiful. From what I've been able to test these days while adjusting the rear brake, they are very ergonomic and have a good feel. Anyway, I need to try out some options: The levers have three positions (the "V" version, the "Canti's" only...

Ah, the weight! Gained without breaking a sweat. Less than 9.5 kg

And the seat post is certainly a luxury on this bike, I like how it looks and that nostalgic "touch": the 90s are no longer here, now we're starting a new millennium, new brands and new challenges, but the Ringle reminds me of where we come from.

Thank you very much. I think the black wheels are even better; they match the cranks.

At the beginning of the build, I realized that the ergal bolt on the Tiso derailleur could be a source of future problems, so I decided to quickly replace it with a titanium one. I may have lost 1g, but it gives me more peace of mind. Otherwise, as always happens when you put together different...

Well, the brakes. The Machine Tech Zero Flex brake levers have always driven me crazy. This time they're paired with the rest of the set. They're truly beautiful and make a beautiful combination with the frame. It has its quirks, like everything valuable in life... The brake pads seemed very...

When I started building the bike, I took the measurements correctly, and the titanium stem doesn't fit; it's just over 10 mm short. Fortunately, I had a 120 mm Syntace. Funnily enough, I'm going to have two bikes with the same Syntace F 99/Answer Hyperlite Carbon combo. At least the stem has...

I'm continuing with the bike a little longer. While I'm receiving or looking for some parts, I've started another project, and in the end, too many things are piling up. I have some nice TTP hubs, a historic Spanish brand, which were used by the ONCE team, among others. The front has 28 spokes...

I've made a little more progress this weekend, but I'm afraid I'll have to stop for a while, as I need wheels and I'm going on vacation. It's not a good time to order them and have them go missing. For now, I've basically installed all the parts: Avid mag brakes with their mag levers, I think...

To start making it I will use the old wheels, making new ones always makes me a bit lazy

It's certainly not very light, but it's beautiful, and it's hard to find a better project than this one. The saddle is a Saevid, the first one I bought, I think around 2004 or so. It had a broken stem, but my kids gave me the repair for Father's Day (I was really excited about it). It's...

And now a surprise for me: the seatpost is 26.8. Oh my God!!! I have a 26.8 Ringle in cherry red!!! Where the hell is it!!! Why isn't it showing up!!! ...... 14 boxes later:

I think it's the best definition I've ever heard, very well described. I'll add it to my book of famous quotes. 👍

And now the fork. All the builds I see on this bike use Marzochi in white. I've always been a Manitou fan, and the R-Seven is a great model for me. I have 4. So I started recovering a MRD in Candy Red. It's from 2008, but what can I do? It's the right one for me. Once again, the Wurth cleaner...
