You didn't go for Shimano then?

No, although I always used to have lots of Dura Ace bits . When I went Ergo I changed to Campag as a the time the Shimano levers had the gear cables sticking out of the side whereas Campag ones came out the rear and thus looked much neater.

Been Campag ever since - except for hubs - Shimano always seem to be almost silent compared to Campag ones so I've stuck with Shimano hubs and Marchisio cassettes.

Nice looking bike - not sure about the gusset though between the down tube and top tube at the headtube - looks a bit big and chunky compared ot the rest of the bike.

do you know what ?... that is exactly the same thought that entered my head the instant I saw the image

Something wrong with the proportions and balance in the frame and it looks like it is the paint scheme

Very purposeful and with a definite space age /futuristic look. I like it. Tis a handsome bike.

Not sure about the tyre colour though but.

 

[BentMikey]

Wow, that's cool! I must admit the colours are not for me, but it looks very good.

 

[mickle]

Ahem. Front wheel skewer is on the wrong side, please amend as it's really bugging me. Thanks.

It's much brighter - more like a metallic orange/bronze in daylight

Bugger!!! I was hoping no-one would notice I bunged the wheels on pretty quick as I was anxious to get out for a ride on her - the skewers will remain for now until my CF/Ti ones arrive

 

[jayce]

fair play that is one nice cycle

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Nice Capri too!

 

[Chrisz]

Nice Capri too!

Started off as a 2.8i - ended up with a 4l V8 and almost straight through exhausts - a real beast

Hoofing piece of kit you`ve got there Chris.

 

[Euan Uzami]

not much wrong with that. wasn't sure about the blue QR, but the more you look at it, it's actually not too bad with the yellow tyres. colour-coordinate the tyres with the frame or even black tyres though and that azure is going to stand out like a sore thumb.

edit: you need something else blue, nearer the back. have you got the rear QR on the opposite way? change them round so both the QRs are on the same side...

Hoofing

Aye

(I take it you mean the bike and not the Crapi?)

Stay safe
