new red bike

my latest project is finished. took her out for the maiden voyage yesterday and she rides like a dream


parts list:


Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra (1994ish) Columbus SLX
Campagnolo Athena 2010 Groupset
Campagnolo Record Headset
Cinelli Stem
Nitto Bars
Fizik Fake Leather Bar Tape
Concor Seat
Dura Ace Aero seat Post
Easton EA90 SL Wheelset
Conti Gatorskins


Im very happy with the way things turned out. Got MC Cyclery, Sydney to put it all together for me and they did an excellent job.


If money was no object I probably would have a done couple things differently. Open pros on record hubs, a record group? matching seat post... but you cant have it all.
