Hot. I'd go with some Riv Jack Browns or Challenge Eroicas or throw some Berthoud stainless fenders on there if you're into that sort of thing.

That BMC looks like a Ritte.

I've seen this frameset in person and it looks really good. Your bike definitely needs a better pic.

Some minor changes on both bikes. I switched out the lizard skins tape for fizik microtex on the Merak. I removed the ZG brakes and installed Campagnolo SR brake on the Noah Pro, along with Elite Cannibal cages.

Put together Thursday. Test ride Friday. 75 miles yesterday. 45 today. Rides great. Still messing with saddle angle, forward-rear, and height. Ignore the friction paste. My problem is that there is no tan wall tire that is equivalent to the durano. Also, I have like 4 of them. So I need to get through them.

Hot. What size tire are you looking for? Will a challenge erocia fit?

dpt01 04-21-13 03:36 PM

I meant to say that veloflex, grand bois, and challenge clinchers with tan sidewalls are all pretty fragile, low mileage tires. It would really complete the look though. The durano is an ultra-high mileage sure-footed training tire with reasonable flat resistance that sells for like 30 bucks.. I'm pretty sure I can fit at least 32mm tires on the bike.

The challenge eroica is a 700x30 tire made to use on gravel. I haven't used them, but I doubt it is fragile.

either way, the bike is hot :)

De Rosa not, needs black tape to be hot in my books.

Pink bike, maybe hot.

Eh, not. Weird setup you have there.

dpt01 04-21-13 06:40 PM

Chainring, housing length, and lever position confuses me.

I'm guessing that you calling his De Rosa a Rosetti is a deeper cut than the 'not.'
