June 23, 2010Colnago Sleekness.
June 14, 2010
Right, that’s it. The Olmo is going to Black, or maybe Charcoal. This Colnago looks hot as hell! None drive side photo fail, though guys.
Olmo Scans.
June 1, 2010I recently got hold of an Olmo. A 50th anniversary, Columbus tubed, full Chorus Olmo to be exact.
After years of riding bikes that are too small for me I have at last found something that I believe to be perfect for me, but it needs painting. No, really, it does. Despite what is written here I am going to do it as the frame is 1. In a relatively bad way and 2. It’s disgusting, I don’t do 2-tone black and grey with rust spots!
So, I am not sure what colour to go for at this point but here is some great inspiration I found at bulgier.
Next is the tussle between powder, acrylic and enamel. Powder is very cheap, easy but can look a bit ‘flabby’ but then where near to me will do stove enamel? Let the tussle begin.

De Rosa TT Hotness.
May 20, 2010
DeRosa professional time trial bike: Columbus steel tubes, TIG welded for low weight and maximum stability, aerodynamic geometry and design, short headtube for a more aerodynamic body position. Hidden cable routing for the lowest possible air drag. Matching extra-light steel fork included. Made for a professional cycling team in 1997.
It’s suddenly all about Silva bartape.
New in at MatuzMaster Hungary.

If you couldn’t tell from these drawings then you should know that Gilberto Colombo played a significant part in some of the most advancing bike frame designs in history.

Zullo now in the UK.
April 1, 2010
Tiziano Zullo was born in 1952 in the North of Italy. He started racing at the age of fourteen and in the early seventies came into contact with the world of frame building through some of the Italian builders. He began building frames, under his own name and for larger brands, and in 1978 he started to export the Zullo brand. By 1985 he was the frame supplier of the Dutch TVM team, a relationship that lasted until 1992. Zullo frames were ridden on the Milan San Remo, the Northern Classics and the Tours De France, Giro dÃItalia, La Vuelta and World Championships. He experimented with Aluminium and still has a custom Carbon frame but the range is still predominantly steel.

Lee Cooper.
January 26, 2010Yesterday afternoon I took my good friend Jon to see Lee Cooper of Coventry, for those that do not know Lee is a top frame builder and is also the man responsible for building most if not all of the frames for London’s 14 Bike Co.
The reason we travelled to see Lee had less to do with frame building though and more about frame restoration. Simply put we needed a set of replacement decals for Jon’s recently acquired 1974 Tom Bromwich track bike and Lee was the man to see.
So we hung around for a while, I managed to grab a handful of photographs and Jon gripped his decals. Mission accomplished.
Thanks Lee for taking the time out to talk with us and show us around your place.

Oh my god this Colnago is ridonkulous!
I am now totally warming to the idea of a TT bike for my collection ( after a chat with the wife of course ) and moreover I am warming to the idea of bull bars for my pursuit bike. Riser bars in my opinion ( comfortable as they are ) are beginning to look a tad out of place.

Steel is real smashing it again with his Biddle TT bike complete with full NOS Suntour Superbe group. Hot!

1989 Paletti Cronos.
October 20, 2009
Last week I said I would post pics of either the Bottechia Equipe or the Ciocc San Crisoball but no… I chose this beauty instead. A 1989 Paletti Cronos complete with Modolo braking equipment and an Assos chainset I have never seen before. I am loving the profile of those tubes too, proper early aero!
Found at Ray Dobbins amazing Gallery space.

September 29, 2009I know I said I would be posting a De Rosa today but my mind has wandered, wandered specifically over to this:
Kind of a repost but it is all in the details!
Man that plating has me dazed like a rabbit in the headlights… someone please put me out of my misery!
