Help - advice for cold setting and modernizing a Columbia
Inherited this from a distant cousin and was interested in switching to STI. Who would you recommend for cold spacing the rear and adding a hanger? Also...will shimano cable stops work if DT braze ons are used?

I'm thinking splash tape and chipped flat bars.

Start by replacing the seat (but save me the old one). You might need a new seat post to fit the modern seat (save me the old one). You might need a new frame to fit the modern seat post(but save me the old one). You might need a new crank to fit the modern frame (but save me the old one). It should come with a fork (so save me the old one).You will probably need new wheels to fit the modern frame (but save me the old ones). You might also have to replace the stem and handlebar if they don't fit the modern fork (but save me the old one). There might be one or two parts that still don't fit; no worries, you can replace those, too (but save me the old ones).

That would be so sweet with Campy EPS. To cold set it just chain one stay to a strong anchor and the other to your car bumper, then floor it!

Yes, as they make Compass tires, and Compass made an announcement today.

What this bike needs is some attractive wooden accent pieces. To make those pieces one will need a quality tool. To learn about the ins and outs of manufacturing the highly specialized quality tools needed to undertake this project, click on this link:
