Just won this Campag Centaur groupset on eBay:
Quite happy with it for the price I got it for, includes the carbon chainset and the now discontinued polished and carbon rear mech and the Centaur skeleton brakes which are only available as Athena now too.
Should look nice on the Colnago Master.
Ooh, saucy. Jealous like hell, I got a load of NOS veloce just to get ultra torque and skeleton brakes. Sounds like you did well there.

Yeh I got it for less than a groupset for sale on bike radar at present which didn't include a carbon crankset or the skeleton brakes. Wheels and saddle then I've got everything for the Colnago build.

Hmm. I've been using them (and the similar "Leeches") since the late 90s, and find them to be excellent. Of course not as good a proper patch, but good for temporary repair.
IME they lasted roughly 10-20 miles. Surprised they are still selling them...but then again I bought them when I started :]

Latest build (as also seen on Bikeradar, Road > Your Bikes), Trigon TR-437, new frame, older bits.
Hopefully first ride tomorrow, not too far, just to make sure everything is tightened / adjusted / not going to fall off.
Arrrrgh. That's bloody horrible. Get it sorted right away, it's making my teeth itch!!!!Hopefully first ride tomorrow, not too far, just to make sure everything is tightened / adjusted / not going to fall off.
Sorry. Nice bike, and all that good stuff, but the front wheel needs turning around - the writing on the rim is opposite to the rear wheel, and I'm inexplicably and disproportionately bent out of shape just looking at it.

It's worse than that, it's the rear wheel that has been built with the rim the wrong way around!Sorry.

The H PLUS SON should be readable from the driveside as all bikes should be viewed this way!
