Just dividers and a hand drill and file on this one. Also a vise with wood jaws. Check out the other work here its so cool

Nice! If Eddy rode drilled bars... lol

Finally i think i have figured out how to upload my pics.



Not quite period correct:

San Marco Concor saddle, Weyless hubs with Wolber Profil18 rims and Panaracer Tourguard RS tires.

Weighs in at 19 lbs. including Teledyne Axle and bolts and Supperleggeri pedals with Ti spindles.

In 1975 I got it just under 20 lbs. Weighed more as the season went on...
Boy, did I love this bike.

PS I thought EVERYONE loves drillium... kinda like behive hairdoos
PPS I will at some point clean up the random paint and highlight with yellow and green, and fill in the lugs. It's been a long time. Tressostar tape is too dark... or i need darker cables.

Nuovo Record, Mexico Style modification and custom panto to match the lugwork.
Winter 1976 in Vermont, I was taking a jewlery smithing class at school. Glad you like it.

I did lots of different cut outs to brake levers, shifters, derailleurs and chainrings. (mostly to half broken ones,lol) Some I still have, some photos only, and some long gone. For the Masi that replaced the Cooper, I did the Masi "M" inside a heart. That was a *****.

I like it! Thanks for sharing.

My plans are to take some already marred and corroded pieces to do my butchering. Still not sure of the theme.... drill or slot / mill. Do like the playing card symbols but that's way beyond my capability.

In fact, this is for sale (as of 8/1/15) Drillium Dude did most of the artful modifications on this beautiful 1974 Colnago Super. Lots of great millwork, as well by Otis.
