OK, been putting in miles, not enough but better than nothing. Climbed Gibraltar but unconvincingly.
The rims arrived from Italy and the spokes and nipples and tubulars with mastik. I built up two wheels and need to do a bit of true up work.
Deraileurs are done, front and rear. Shifters are new so no problem there. Levers are missing hoods as I bought the wrong type. I need C record type. I also need to rig the clamp as it was missing some parts.
I have several items to rebuild: Seat Post needs clean up. Pedals should be checked out, a good pair of C-records. Now the cranks have a corrosion point I am worried about. I hope I don't have to drop more cash on that. I keep trying to reason I wont pull that over the peak sprint.
In 1987 or there about. I was riding campy record cranks with 180mm. My friend Dean and I had just come over from Steven's Creek reservoir and were sprinting towards Garrods stable when my crank arm chain side broke. You get on the ground real fast!! Well a shop took them but gave me a less that exact new set, 175. Took me to 2010 when I laid off the Serotta. This pit appeared right at the highest stress area of the arm. Well still thinking about that one...
And the frame is done but just before I pulled the cap and started mixing the 2K clear coat I was wondering if the enamel was going to be safe. Not convinced I need to check one more time with teh paint shop. Ill detail the paint steps on this at the end of the Blog.
Turning record into super record with dark blue paint :)
The old Marresi's need some love. The Duegi's are too far gone for near future.
All new wheel build...sort of new.
