Sorry that was the wrong frame. Here's an image of MY bike. It's the road version with the same paintwork as the Supercorsa Pista that I took from the website. Mixture of old and new technology.

Thats sheer bicycle porn! Beautiful setup and i love that Brooks Swallow and saddle bag. I am guessing a size 56cm frame. Since its a threaded fork, you ought to do a Cinelli quill stem instead. Thanks for the photo.

good idea. I might consider that to ruin the look of schindelhauer true alu.

Well, at least you don't think lugged joints are ugly anymore. My job here is done!

If I install a quill stem, it has to go with the old style skinny handlebars which won't take the current shifters. The alternative is to take the retro one step further and install the old style shifters on the downtube but it's hard to find those in mint condition.

My aim was for the bike to look old school but ride just like a modern bike hence the clipless pedals instead of the toe straps and the modern shifters.

BTW those are carbon spokes on those Mavics.

Yeah, you're right. The bar clamp on quill stems is max 26.4mm as far as I know. Modern over-sized bars will not fit. Those downtube friction shifters are a pain to use, and are not precise. Keeping it retro but adopting new technologies to serve us better is a good move.

I think your wheels are nicely built, but I have yet to try carbon spokes. Still using stainless steel spokes.

Over the years you have mentioned your Campy bicycle pump as a weapon. I now realise that Campy has been a part of your life. And that bike, a lovely piece.

Yeah, some of those pumps had alloy heads. Worth big bucks today.

I am impressed by you guys - the knowledge, the attentions to details etc. Still learning on my part.

This is what a campagnolo pump looked like :

It was mounted on the frame by wedging the "Y" shaped bit on the bottom bracket and the other end was held by clamp like this :

​

The pump head was not alloy. It was made of chrome plated steel and it was heavy especially by today's standards. It was an excellent weapon against motorists who cut us off or tried to run us off the road. Woe betide the ones that we caught up with at the next traffic junction. Those pump heads were great for smashing windows and denting bonnets. Many Morris Oxford taxis ended up on the receiving end. Even the STC buses were not spared.

Agree. Most were chrome plated steel, some were alloy (more expensive because they are lighter). But all go into a Silca tube body. In the early days, they were made of steel, but today most are plastic. Attached is my old but not vintage Silca Impero.

remember this old ad ...

used to have this pump with the old Raleigh

remember this old ad ...

That bike could carry hundreds of kilos of ice cream, bread and rojak.
