Flippen nice. Love the first generation carbon crank, although I heard they were prone to breaking. Willie had a set in his shop before he went under.

 

Here's another Mapei nago to drool over:

"Sufferin' Socatash!" as the cat said to the yellow canary, Velo got onto Morpheus's toeclips so quickly the ad even disappeared. Grrr. Oh well. Velo, make good use of 'em please. (I'll be quiet about the fact that I still have my NOS set from Fixer in the cupboard.)

 

Anyone here got an 8-speed Campy cluster floating around without any purpose? My Colnago Superissimo needs one.

Keeping those for my special build. You can buy 8 speed cassettes at CRC, campy still makes them.

All my Colnago's bar one are mostly modern machines so I've avoided placing them here. The Mexico is still a work in progress and I'm itching to get that one completed and on this thread for sure

Its got DT shifters, so retro it is. Like that Mavic kit. Wouldn't mind the previous generation Mavic crank to go with the derailleur set I've got.

i bought these three books last night at the community chest carnival:

anyone remember these, the two cycling books are great and have some very interesting local and overseas content.

the surgical handbook is over a 100 years old....

Wow, very very nice Monkeyboy. The only thing I would change on there is the stem, but that frame is fantastic.
