Yep, Centaur "Century Grey"

Are the 5800 cranks anodized black on aluminum? If so, then you could spray oven cleaner on it, clean and then polish the aluminum. Would be a lot of work but might make the cranks look cool again. I recall doing that way back when on a pair of Araya BMX rims in high school. :)

D'oh! Forgot that Shimano still sells the silver version of the cranks. So used to seeing them in black that I guess it didn't exist. :D

Post up a pic of your rebuild when its complete.

i can confirm that the 105 5800 group works really well....

[MENTION=488583]Cl904[/MENTION], what frame is that? I really like it.

Looks fantastic! Sorry to potentially bring bad news, but...is that a Modolo stem?

If yes, here is an old thread to help you identify the recalled versions:

It is a really nice build on a classic miele. Sounds like a higher end frame, mine also has pantographing on the stays, as well as large diamond cutouts on the lugs. I'm pretty sure mines an equipe..it came with an sl sticker. The later ones came with slx. I'm also not sure of my wound up carbon fork...enjoy!

Awesome, that's a relief! The stem works so well on your Miele.

beautiful bike.

Here's my two latest, 1989 Bottecchia Equipe running 20 speed Chorus, shod with regular wheels, 32h Campag Chorus and with shiny Sunday best Shamals.

And this week I finished refitting my Gilco tubed Columbus SL Denti. New front deailleur, seat post, tyres, cable outers and inners.. Also running 20 speed Campagnolo with a semi compact 52/36 with 32/28h Campag Chorus wheels as its regular daily wheels, and also shown here with some Shamal tubulars fitted with Vittoria Open Pave's, cos they look cool:)

Nice builds! The Bottecchia frame is a beauty! I'm a sucker for chrome lugs.

More pics of that Gilco Denti por favor! ^

Also, youre running a carbon fork? No original fork in hand?

Seeing all of these amazing bikes makes me want to post some pics of my retro sti here as well..

Just not quite finished with my grail bike..a Fuso..maybe a sneak peek? Or maybe just the complete bike in a few weeks.

Ill post a couple of mines for now..

Here you go [MENTION=202594]shu[/MENTION]ru just for you. Despite being the least shiny of my bikes it does still have some lovely details, and the tubing on the frame is a wonder of different shapes. The head tube is the only completely round tube on the bike and features the company ladybird logo. The top tube, down tube and seat tube are all teardrop shaped, though the seat tube starts off round at the top, obviously to accommodate a regular round seat post, and tapers into a teardrop lower down. I've got it running 20 speed Camapag, Record shifters withRecord skeleton brakes

It has some nice lugs, featuring more ladybirds.

Nice arrow point type lugs at the bottom bracket

The seat post cluster features what I think are called 'shot in' or 'fastback' seatstays. And of course feature more ladybirds. Its hard to tell from the photos but the seat stays are also wonderfully shaped, the tubing narrows at each end but is more bulbous in the middle, like Popeye's forearms but not so extreme:)

Notice also that the rear brake cable routing, which is through the top tube, enters and exits the frame right at the ends of the top tube, quite different to the other bikes I have with internal top tube routing. I do find this very pleasing on the eye as it makes the rear cabling almost invisible on drive side photos, very neat....its like they've thought of everything:)

And as I am running modern kit and carbon parts I thought I'd have a modern fork with an aheadset. I do still have the original fork, featuring, yes you guessed it, more ladybirds, this time on the fork crown, if I ever want to revert back to a more traditional look.

Phrases like magic carpet ride are banded around often in cycling, but with 25c tyres and the Columbus SL tubing, this really is the smoothest riding and plush feeling of all my 8 bikes. I love it and as it was my first road bike I am hopelessly sentimentally attached to it, and will never sell it, its worth much more to me than the sum of its parts.

Beautiful! What kind of bottle holders are those, if I may ask?

those are from Velo Orange.

They are nice, but I swapped them for some from Performance because these ones contacted each other at the lowest point.

They work well on other bikes, but they were too long for this frame.
