I know this is stretching the retro theme past breaking point, but thought I’d post a pic of my nemo. I built it up to replace my carbon race bike because I love my traditional stuff, and wanted to race on steel. So here is is. Hope you like it!
I might be a little bit jealous... Very classy build
That would go very nicely with the cinelli tutto fixie frame i've just ordered
Keep us posted on how you get on racing on steel. It will be interesting to see if there's any difference in performance.
I rode it yesterday for the first time (alone!) and while I’m not a strava addict I did a well worn route and beat every pr on every segment. Feels like it was made for me. Averaged 20.5mph - and I’m currently not race fit!
Sounds like a winner. If you're planning on doing flatish races or crits then weight is much less of an issue anyway, plus you get the grin factor of riding something you really wanted to.
