Having ridden this for the first time on Saturday, I'm now stripping it down on Monday to give it a good clean and convert it from Shimano 105 10 speed to Campagnolo Centaur 9 speed (hence the inverted commas in the title). The main reason for this is that I have a dynamo wheel set kicking around and the rear freehub is Campag fit. I do have some 10 speed Campag shifters, but only 9 speed cassettes and I don't want to spend any more than I have to. Anyway, first step is to give the frame a good wash.

Anyone know what these two M5 bosses on the inside of the fork leg are for? My best guess is a bottle dynamo.

Never managed to photograph it on the day as it was dark when I finished it, but here it is in winter commuter mode. Now sporting Schmidt lights and a dynohub and a mix of Campag Veloce and Centaur, including quite a nice carbon crankset. Here it is after a cold ride to work this morning.

Looks great, nice build. That must be that UT chainset you bought the other day...

I'd guess at a bottle dynamo too, can't imagine what else
