You'd be looking at an older groupset, like Centaur 11, but I agree. Very difficult to get good non black groupsets.

Looks like my bike! But mine was made for me, not someone else (salty!😂) Still, 20 years old.

I gave up the fight on the black stuff. It is pretty light, as he says. Since those photos I've had to buy black rims (Open Pro silver seemingly nla), which continues the new theme, I guess.

Some of the elegant silver gear that began on it was migrated over in bits to my other Roberts (built for my dad, not me!):

Soul Red is basically red flam, which has been used on bikes since time immemorial. Was called candy apple red on 1950s hot rods.
