Stunning color. The light reflection and shadows really accentuate the shape of each tube. You'll have to post a video of you riding it in a full tuck! I'm curious ... how the seat post/binder works?
Cheers,

Outstanding !!! Great finish !!!---looking forward to the final product when the restoration comes together.


Thanks, it was well worth spending the money and getting the paint done by a professional!

Its hard to explain, the little grub screw pushes against a flap/piece of metal inside the seat tube which wedges/pushes against the seat post.
ill try to take a photo of the system over the weekend, its pretty clever!

sloow update.

i have found some levers, they are the same as dura ace ax without the ax engraved. these will be the substitute until/if i can ever find the original campagnolo brake levers. i have bought some original brake pads too, so the dura ace ex 7200 group is complete.





the headset and bottom bracket are in, i just need a few more parts and try to get some 24h mavic rims and hubs for it to be completed.
