Thanks for the feedback folks. Gives me some things to think about. Overall I’m pretty happy that I was able to put this together without breaking anything. LOL.

I didn't polish this crankset(the previous owner did). Originally I had Chorus crankset on this bike, but it was so used up that it needed to be polished.
I found a C-Record version for $70, so I bought that knowing it had been polished.
The next purchase will be some generation 4 or 5 "Delta" brake calipers.

just having fun
Just give us a standard pic in decent light like the Cervelo above and let the bike stand on it's own. Your pics look like you're trying to hide something like a crack in the frame. Too many shadows. That paint looks like it could be spectacular, but I can't tell without decent lighting.

There was nothing said about the poster, only the bike. If you don't like the feedback on your bike, determine if the feedback can help, or not. Remember, there is nothing malicious about the opinions, they are individual taste. Whether or not they agree with your taste, is beside the point.

Just completed my first build (ever). 1992 Colnago Master Olympic Art Decor, Campagnolo Record 11 (53-39, 11/28 Ultegra cassette), Reynolds AR58s with 25mm Vittoria Corsas. Will eventually go tubeless when these wear out. Was hoping 28mm would fit but 25mm is as large as I can go.
But more importantly, this bike is crying out for that awesome threaded to threadless quill/headset unit one of our members came out with. Dammit, can't remember his name

Edit: Looking again on a bigger monitor. I think it's just the angle of the photo. Tough to tell. Look right where the fork exits the bottom of the headset. I can't tell if the angle is off some or not. I think it's ok.

I'm looking at this bike again. Something looks off where the fork comes out of the bottom headset race. It looks like the fork steerer tube might be bent. It could be the angle of the photo. Please check it again for safety's sake.

I've seen that, he does great work. Very talented individual. I can't bring myself to put a threadless stem on there, just doesn't look right on a vintage frame to me (ironic I know since I put all modern components on).

I looked at images of other 1992 Colnago Master Olympics. They all look the same. One of those things that catches the eye.

That headest/Aheadset conversion is pretty slick, but is would screw up the look of this bike, He would need about 3" of spacers to get the handlebars to the height they are at now, and a huge stack of spacers never looks good.
