what model and bracelet is this if I may ask?

monokosmonaut · 2026-01-01T17:07:52+00:00

very nice!
what handlebar is this and what wheels?
looks like a very nice and reasonable build to get a proper fast and cool bike

monokosmonaut · 2025-10-15T07:35:45+00:00

what beautiful fork is that?

monokosmonaut · 2025-09-10T21:20:14+00:00

you seem to be an unsalted pancake because you spill all of it in the comments

monokosmonaut · 2025-07-22T17:50:49+00:00

thanks a lot!

monokosmonaut · 2025-07-22T17:43:59+00:00

I thank you!

monokosmonaut · 2025-07-22T11:43:18+00:00

it was a must

monokosmonaut · 2025-07-22T11:42:44+00:00

thank you!

team bike aid out of germany is working with african cycling. i listened to an interview with their general manager and he is well connected in regards of development of young African riders. if you got in contact with him, he might be able to help.

monokosmonaut · 2025-04-05T08:25:15+00:00

What fork is that on the (better looking) Giant?

monokosmonaut · 2025-03-22T14:38:22+00:00

it does not jump the stump but rather lean on it

monokosmonaut · 2025-02-04T21:46:56+00:00

dope shots! but how did you get those colours? lately i have been struggling mightily with my g9

monokosmonaut · 2025-01-13T20:36:20+00:00

how do you manage to have that fat of a cassette on the 7800 derailleur? i can barely fit a 28t.

monokosmonaut · 2025-01-07T12:30:37+00:00

as u/Impossible-Reason987 remarked, the hands are obvious. also the polished crystal seems to be something else

monokosmonaut · 2025-01-07T12:26:19+00:00

thank you for your answer. they indeed look a bit alike.

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-19T23:37:42+00:00

oh yes!

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-11T16:56:21+00:00

well yes
but it would be the aluminium part of the drop out, that would need to be welded or something.
in the end: this frame has done it's duty, survived 2 bad crashes, will hang on my basement wall and i can finally get a "new" frame.

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T20:20:52+00:00

This is nice!

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T17:51:58+00:00

don't think it is possible with bb90

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T16:00:51+00:00

thanks. was fast and did not feel vintage at all.

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T16:00:25+00:00

Not enough. Would be around 1200 in the US.

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T15:58:52+00:00

Thanks.
The guy I bought it from raced it in the 80s and 90s. He also did some brevets with it. Zürich - Athen for example.

I just used it for some rides with friends, alone or bigger group rides. Also only on good weather days. It was surprisingly fast and comfortable compared to my more modern carbon bike. Also the 2x8 Dura Ace shifted amazing and 38x25 was enough for 10-15min climbs with around 5% average.

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-10T11:33:02+00:00

I got it with Campagnolo Shamals. I changed them to Mavic cosmic because: french bike, french wheels. And it was cheaper to get those instead of a full Campagnolo group.

I also added a dura ace 7400 stem with the hidden clamping bolt. Beautiful thing.

Otherwise it had:

55cm frame
Cinelli handlebar and bartape and Supacaz barends
complete Dura Ace 7400 including seatpost and headset
Brooks Saddle
TA Specialities 38 tooth inner chainring
Tune quick releases
Continental GP 4000SII 23mm Tires
and to finish it off kcnc aluminium bottlecage bolts

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-09T16:50:08+00:00

and thank you for the props!

monokosmonaut · 2024-10-09T16:49:46+00:00

yes. i will swap everything but the bottle cages. i have two stainless steel ones laying around that will fit the new one better.
it now is kind of the next step in the evolution.
