Yes definitely Daccordi themselves have even mentioned it….it’s just finding one that need restoring at the right price 👍 watch this space it’s on the list
That bike fits you well Andy , your position looks dialled in. I’ve said it before mate that its nice to see you fix these lovely machines up in todays over complicated World .👏👏👏👏
Thanks for your comment and support, I think now more than ever it’s so important to focus in on the positives and continue to enjoy what gives you reward and happiness. Plenty more to come 👍
Thanks again for a really inspired video. Rossin is cool, and that was a golden age for Shimano too. Love the respect you pay to those old war-horses. Have a Daccordi / Columbus frame on my bench for resto, so this was really inspiring!
That video was amazing. Hands down the best thing I’ve watched on you tube in an age. Class bike. Rare to see one like that. The rims looked like they were never used. Chapeaux.
Im working on it, I need to change the format slightly and get more content up. Ive got a new 4k camera to start using also. Thanks for the support and watching, all the best
I believe that Mario Rossin taught Giuseppe Marinoni how to build frames. Marinoni is based in Montreal and has built many beautiful frames that track perfectly straight. I have one. What Rossin knew certainly rubbed off on Marinoni for sure. Would be great if you could get your hands on a Marinoni one of these days. Thanks again for all the great videos you put out I always look forward to viewing them.
What a stunning bike. Shimano colors with the Ultegra 600 tricolor groupset with a dash of dura ace. Beautiful restoration. Love the anodized groupset. Italians really do know how to make them. Cheers
Hey Dude, My last real racing road bike was a Rossin. In 1992, I managed to score my first big public art commission in Ottawa Canada. Being given more money than I had ever seen, I waltzed into an Ottawa bike shop and chose the white and green Rossin frame hanging from the ceiling, and had the shop install the full C Record Gruppo, with the delta brakes and everything. Unfortunately the Gruppo was pantographed all with 'Pinarello'...so I ended up with a hybrid of brands. But anyway it was a great bike, I raced my last road races on that bike and eventually I traded it to a neighbour youngster for an amplifier...then years later he found a customer online who really wanted those delta brakes and all the vintage value of my Italian blend beloved ride. I delighted in the path which I'm aware my Rossin travelled. For some years, I'd see my neighbour out going hard on the Rossin. I wonder where it is now. I had put the Greg LeMond 'drop in ' bars on her and I think that was a good innovation. I am still a fan of Greg LeMond and I'd styled my set-up and fitting of my bikes on his book. Thanks for the memories mate! Cheers Dave ( Currently restoring a late eighties Ritchey...)
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. I honestly have a soft spot for a Rossin. It was the one brand I used to know very little about and couldn’t afford. I’m sure yours will still be out there. Thanks for your support and watching all the best 👍
Excellent video and channel. Congratulations on the great and careful restoration of this beautiful Italian model. I am a Brazilian enthusiast and amateur cyclist of road bikes. Here in Brazil we had some iconic models: Caloi 10 and Caloi 12. The model number refers to the number of gears. Cycling hugs!
Many thanks for your support and also the information on Brazilian bicycle models. Unfortunately in the UK we don’t get very many. Like it…cycling hugs back my friend 😉👍
Beautiful rebuild and beautiful picturesque scenery. I do miss the English countryside. I have rode on some of those roads you were riding on back in the day. Good job. All the best from a cold Canada. John.
Glad you enjoyed it John, if you ever find yourself revisiting give me a shout and ill sort you a ride out. Take care and thanks for your on going support
Yr channel is huge and people love you and there is huge and i mean huge demand for these classic machines. I am trying desperately to get myself a classic colnago. Some hope living in Ireland.
@@BikeItUK Yes but hold off until the spring/summer, the weather is miserable right now. You could make a video over here, that would be cool. We probably have the toughest rural roads in Europe, they say thats what made Sean Kelly so strong on his bike. Anyway everyone is running around with masks on worried about catching a cold. Wish they would all just enjoy life, and get some exercise. You look so happy and fit because thats the beauty of being one with your machine and nature. God bless you.
Mr. Andy, another wonderful restore, bike came out top notch!! Hope all is well with you and yours, looking forward to more of your work in the future. Stay healthy and safe.
It's great to see a Rossin feature. I love mine, owned it since new in 1986. I was obviously heavily influenced by seeing a chromed lugged red bike in the guards van on the train on the way home from school, owned by a guy looking like Neil from The Young Ones. Also by Wielersport and Mick Perry who was selling a few at the time. I had a mix of Gipiemme, Campagnolo and Ofmega originally, but went over to Shimano 600 tricolour and Dura Ace in the early '90s. The best brakes ever after side pulls. Then I rebuilt it with all the parts I wanted back in the '80s, albeit a retrograde move, as it seems I'd better post out warning letters or use an anchor to stop, going from Dura Ace dual pivot calipers to single pivot Monoplanars. The Dura Ace used to feel as though when gripping, they'd lock the wheel up like a disc brake whilst the tubular would keep rotating, if it wasn't for the valve holding it in place! Anyway, great bicycles, a great rebuild and refreshing to see it in another colourway other than red, white or silver Chapeau!
Thanks for watching and your support. Great to hear about your Rossin I do have a Rossin Prestige I’m about to convert to 11 speed Campagnolo. Watch this space
I’ve just had a look at this bike in my 1988 Freewheel catalogue. The frame is listed as a “Rossin Matrix” & built from Columbus Matrix tubing, price back then was £239.95. The complete bike with Tri-colour components was £589.
Thanks for this I have been searching for listings and brochure images everywhere with no luck. This is great information thanks for watching and your knowledge. All the best Andy
A characteristic of Rossin bikes is no two are the same and the catalog is merely a suggestion. ;) The label on the frame indicates Columbus Aelle tubing (1:16). It also lacks some of the details such as pantographed lugs and Campagnolo dropouts that graced the higher end frames of the day as well as . That it has a mix of DuraAce parts on it shows that someone loved it very much at some point. It is obviously a magnificent thing and well worth preserving.
Another top restoration Andy! You've really got me seriously thinking about getting a 1970s or 80s steel period bike. In 1980 I bought a beautiful Peugeot Corse from Dave Kane Cycles in Belfast. It was a lovely bike in a beautiful pearlescent orange colour - I'd saved up pocket money for months to buy it - wish I had it now! Keep up the excellent work Andy!
It’s a very rewarding thing to do and I’d encourage anyone to recycle ♻️ a bicycle. Not only is it satisfactory but it’s preserving a little bit of history, and if it takes you back to your childhood then that in my opinion is princess 👍 Thanks for watching and your support
Man go for it, I have quite the collection of older roadbikes and all are steel! My 2 pride and joys are my 1973 Raleigh professional 63cm that I fitted a period campy super record and tubulars. It's stupid lightweight even against 90s carbon roadbikes. It's very comfort and very quick, yet supple and responsive. My other baby is my 1984 Paletti super prestige racer and that Columbus Slx tubing is just splendid. Also own 3 other Raleighs, a puch odyssey, and a fugi
To continue with my tardy chat: The Cinelli bar & stem definitely brought the professional asthetic back to this road bike. I'll bet the retuned 600 group set made this example functionally a breeze to ride again. Well done :)
Another beautiful bike, excellent build and entertaining video! You've hit it out of the park again! Thanks for putting yourself out there for our entertainment. -mikesbikeswork
Hey.. wonderful Bike.. I love the colours , really nice. So thank you for that . All the best to you and your Family, take care and stay healthy..Greetings from Germany 👍
Lovely job Andy. I remember the MA 40's I had a pair back in the day and the got my hands on a 600AX group set . The colour scheme worked well on that bike and you brought it back to life.
Thanks for watching and the support. The AX Groupset is an interesting one, I’ve not featured it yet and have my eyes on a couple of Groupsets myself. Watch this space….
Well mate, you've done it again! Yet another great frame and group revitalized by your loving hands! We all really enjoy your work and the results you bring about. My next is a Guerciotti in red white and green with all Campagnolo and Cinelli bits, maybe Pirelli tires too?
Sounds lovely my friend go for it, my garage is backing up with projects now so many more to come. Definitely need to get my hands on a Guerciotti, enjoy buddy and thanks for your support.
Thank you sir! I really enjoy your channel a great deal. You've set a high bar for a random enthusiast like myself. I'll try and do you proud. Cheers!!
Another excellent build, congrats! I’m a big fan of the vintage Shimano, having everything from DA EX, AX, 7400, 7410, 7700, and 7800. I don’t have a 600 equipped bike, yet. You got me thinking. I have a late 80s Team Miyata that will need a respray. Maybe a similar color scheme as this Rossin but with Miyata branding is in order. Then just need to find a Tri-color 600 groupset. The only thing I would have maybe done differently on your Rossin build was to use a Shimano 600 aero stem. I have used these stems (AX, 600, and later DA) exclusively on most of my vintage builds utilizing quill stems. I am in the process of two retro-mod builds, 1989 Tesch S-22 and 1991 Zullo with silver Campy 11 speed, partly inspired by your Colnago example. For those, I was able to fine nice NOS Cinelli stems, an XA and 1R. Otherwise I would have used aero Shimano. Great content you are putting out. Keep it up! You and a few others on TH-cam are an inspiration to those of us who value this era of bicycles. You have a great platform to get the word and ideas out to the masses.
Wow, thank you my friend for your supporting comment 😉👍 Yes the Shimano stems are definitely a thing of beauty with concealed bolts etc, the stem I used I had already so it kind of made sense. Great to hear your mixing the 11 speed up, I absolutely adored the Colnago I did, definitely the best of both worlds. Thanks again and so much more planned watch this space 👍😉
Hi Andy, been a while. I'm going to look for one of these as a next project. I love the color scheme and this would make a nice addition to my heavy metal collection.
Another great video and restoration Andy 👌🏼 I really enjoy the look of this Rossin, there’s just something special about that retro Shimano colour scheme 👍🏼 Keep up the great work, you’re the inspiration behind my channel 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Wow means a lot my friend, your work is amazing and to be inspiring others as you are now doing, well that is something else 😉👍 top man keep it up all the best matey
Magnificent restoration and the next owner will have a grand bike. Great to have your knowledge, skill, dedication and all back alongside Monkeyshred, Garys, Red_dead, Bikespeeds, etc. but does anyone know where RJ is?
Hi thanks for your support, I’m friends on Facebook with him. He’s definitely knocking about enjoying himself I think he’s just having a break from putting content out 👍
Hi. Another great video. Inspired me to restore my Peugeot 100 Anniversary PH12. Sadly, it’s too much for me. Let me know if you want restore another one for the channel? Either way keep up the good work. 👏🏼
Great bike, sorry to hear it’s to much for you. I generally just chip away at them. Making a to do list. Unfortunately I have so many to get through at the moment. Thanks for your support
I am impressed by your work, especially the fine painting touch up. Question: if you are stripping a frame down -- that is, removing all the paint -- what do you use?
Awesome video m8 as always mom says hi she likes it too missed yea videos keep em coming if you don't upload b4 Xmas then merry Xmas now to you and happy New year!
I’ve just completed a 600 tricolor groupset on one of my anniversary Raleighs, the other one is going 9 speed Campagnolo Veloce and it has the same black Cinelli stem as the Rossin got !
Hey Andy :) how are yoiu doing, nmevermind you , the bike, the video all looking great, may that love for bikes you have go on and on and on no getting older here my friend those bottom brackets are tho and if not removed for a while is though to remove them . Bike looks amazing, beautiful color scheme and awesome job on cleajning it up looks like new . BTW was that the original fork? since it had that short deda stem i thought it was threadless but then again am getting old miself and cant see all that well jajaja! whats the stem you replaced it with, i missed it when you said it sorry and also sorry it took me this long to come aqnd watch the video I've just been out of it all a little bit. Keep up the good work, I noticed you got t-shirts and hoofdies now, i'll come back and get one soon Have a great winter and Holidays all the best
Hi buddy, good to hear from you. Yes I replaced the stem with a Cineli one including handlebars. I’m currently working on loads at the moment, I’ve got a Gazelle mono stay in 532 I’ve got a Dura Ace Groupset for that. A Pinarello with period C-record hmm Colnago Super Piu and I’m just about to build up a Frank Herity bike which is a local respected frame builder. So loads going on, so little time though hay buddy. Thanks for your support over the years it’s honestly good to hear your still watching. Hope you are enjoying the festive period take care my friend 😉👍
An absolutely brilliant looking bike! What’s done with the restorations after completion? Keep doing what you do! (Still rocking my Peugeot P11 that I bought new in 1984 - freehub single speeded and with clipless pedals, but I still have all of the original components!)
Very nice 👍 Thanks for watching most of the restorations I do I sell on which helps pay for the next project. I simply wouldn’t have the room either to keep them all. Thanks for watching and the support
Hi thanks for watching and your support, I live in Stockport Cheshire the roads are in a place called higher Poynton and towards Macclesfield, hope this helps. All the best 👍🚲
Nice job. How did you get the Dura Ace indexing to work with the 600 Tricolor derailleur? The Dura Ace shifters shouldn't be able to pull enough cable... or are you using it in friction and it just sounds indexed in the video? In the video you didn't use the alternative cable attachment point that makes the two index nicely together. Also, it's a personal preference thing, i guess, but you always shove the stems way down. Bikes of the era were usually set up with a bit more quill showing, in part because drops were deeper, and riders spent more time in the drops and less on the hoods, among other things. But great work again!
Hi thanks for watching and your comment, yes you are correct regarding the shifting the index did work but not as well as I had hoped so yes when out riding I used the friction option for fine tuning the gears. Regarding the stem generally It’s just more for the look of the bike. It creates a more aggressive race bike look. My personal collection of bikes are all set up differently depending on the style of riding I’m doing. Touring I’m definitely in a more up right position. Thanks again and take care 👍
Everytime i see you on these classic bikes you look so perfectly balanced with perfect body position. Cornering on that bike was almost perfect and your control was amazing. Your body just blended beautifully with that Italian stallion. If only we could get all these types of bikes back into production and banish those slopping pieces of tawianese carbon trash from the landscape.
Gorgeous! I have those pedals from the earlier 6200 series, and a pair of 105, the toeclips are alloy not the brittle plastic and I also found there seems to be a repro clip being made in china. Bit pricey tho....also can't find cleats for them anymore...still, they look good on the shelf...
Hi thanks for your support and watching, I generally sell them on. I really haven’t the room and like the idea of we own nothing in this life but just have things for a while, plus it helps fund the next project 🚲🚲🚲
Most of my rides are Cheshire in and around higher Poynton. I have done a couple of rides in Derbyshire in and around Edale. Thanks for watching all the best
Amazing Bike!!! Very nice Work on this real treasure. Just your Position is not quite fitting. Saddle is too high and back too far, handlebar doesn't offer its benefits, because it is turned up. Stem too low. But framesize is right here.
Hi. I'm Mario Rossin's son. Unfortunately he passed away in 2018. I'm sure he would have appreciated your great work on his frame.
Thank you so much 💙
A great guy, thanks for getting in touch and leaving your comment means a lot. All the best 👍
Giuseppe Marinoni would have learned to weld and build frames from your dad. I had a custom bike built in 1988, and to this day, I regret selling it.
Where would we be without our Italian friends.🇮🇹
Definitely got style 👍
Another cracking job. Lovely riding lanes around Macclesfield. Nice.
Glad you liked it, yes I consider myself lucky for cycling around where I live 👍 all the best
Great to see a Rossin.
Hoping to see a Daccordi some time. 50th Anniversary model would be super-cool.
Yes definitely Daccordi themselves have even mentioned it….it’s just finding one that need restoring at the right price 👍 watch this space it’s on the list
Great video, thanks for promoting cycle-recycle! Looks incredible
Glad you liked it, thanks for your support
Great work! Beautiful bicycle ridden on some lovely roads!
Glad you liked it thanks for watching
What an absolute beauty! When I was a young man I lusted after cars. Now I'm 50 its vintage steel bikes! :)
Funny, crazy hay.....thanks for watching and your support all the best
Great job Andy! Keep the builds coming!
Thanks for the support buddy
Thats a dry weather machine for sure - bikes we could only dream of in the early 80's Andy
Yes It’s one brand I dreamt of owning. 👍
Another stunning job and stunning bike 🏴👍
Thanks Rick for watching and your support, all the best buddy
That frame is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous!!
Excellent work!! 😊
Greetings from Croatia 😎
Thanks for your support glad you like 👍
That bike fits you well Andy , your position looks dialled in.
I’ve said it before mate that its nice to see you fix these lovely machines up in todays over complicated World .👏👏👏👏
Thanks for your comment and support, I think now more than ever it’s so important to focus in on the positives and continue to enjoy what gives you reward and happiness. Plenty more to come 👍
The bike is so beautiful! Great job. Congratulations and greetings from the Czech Republic.
Thanks and same to you my friend hope you all the very best for the year ahead 👍
Fabulous build yet again Andy lovely bike you’re an inspiration 👌
Much appreciated glad you like it 👍
Another cracking build video there! Just the job for a quick escape from the strange times in which we live 👍.
Yes indeed, these projects are definitely sane 😉🚲👍 thanks for the support
Thanks again for a really inspired video. Rossin is cool, and that was a golden age for Shimano too. Love the respect you pay to those old war-horses. Have a Daccordi / Columbus frame on my bench for resto, so this was really inspiring!
Thank you and great to hear your getting stuck into a Daccordi its one bike I have not done as yet. All the best enjoy
That video was amazing. Hands down the best thing I’ve watched on you tube in an age. Class bike. Rare to see one like that. The rims looked like they were never used. Chapeaux.
Thanks so much for your support all the best
Another great resto!!!
I love this channel
Keep up the great work Andy!
Thanks for the support buddy, another Italian restoration is being uploaded today. Thanks for the support
Thats a lovely bit of kit.Superb!
Thanks 🙏
30 years from now that bike will still be rolling. I don't think you can say the same of a modern carbon bike. Well done ! 👏👏👏
So very true, I wonder how myself will be holding up in another 30 years 🤔👍
Depends on who looks after it. I've got a carbon lugged frame on a bike that was built in 1994
Fantastic to finally feature a Rossin on the channel. My fav brand from that era. I love my one and have restored it recently aswell.
Yes a Rossin for me is a childhood dream brand, glad you enjoyed it thanks for your support
another frame I lusted after in my youth! thanks for bringing back the memory Andy :-)
Nice one matey 👍😉
Another stunning bike Andy. I only wish the video was longer and went into more detail. Thanks
again.
Im working on it, I need to change the format slightly and get more content up. Ive got a new 4k camera to start using also. Thanks for the support and watching, all the best

Thank you my friend, yes lots of videos planned and a new 4K video camera all ready to go. All the best 👍
I had this exact same bike in the 80's, same frame, groupset and Rolls saddle. Even looks the same size as mine.
I hope it brings back some fond memories 😉👍🚲 really enjoyed riding this one

Great looking bike, nice work. Also nice to see my old roads, I used to ride down past that train crossing and around Pott Shrigley etc.
Glad you liked it and happy it took you back. Yes it’s my regular root up and out to the hills 👍 thanks for watching and your support
Wow what a classic top quality similar in many ways to the Basso Gap I have well done Andy...
Glad you enjoyed it many thanks for your support and watching
One of your best. Very nice.
Thanks buddy all the best 👍
Great find and build Andy. Big thumbs up 👍🏼
Thanks for your support buddy
Another great restoration, Andy. I'm impressed, how you, touch up those damaged letters, on the decals. Quite the artist. Nice work. KB.

That's about $2200USD today, not a bad deal for a hand made full Ultegra equipped bike.

This is one of my favorite restorations of yours. I’m a big fan of 600 Tri-Color/Ultegra in regards to performance, availability, and cost.
Thanks glad you liked it, I’m with you all the way 😉👍
Love the 600 tri-colour groupset, I’m restoring an Orbit with tri-colour and also partway through a Stan Pike restoration with full 600 arabesque
Nice! Im still to do an Orbit on here and the Stan Pike sounds interesting....Thanks for the comment and support all the best
Another beautiful job, Loved the three-colour frame. Andy! Is this one a keeper, I wonder?
Not sure yet, I honestly have so many to get through at the moment.....thanks for watching and your support
Nice colour combo
Thanks for watching
Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Fabulous! !
Thanks
Beautiful 💘
Thanks
Well mate, you've done it again! Yet another great frame and group revitalized by your loving hands! We all really enjoy your work and the results you bring about. My next is a Guerciotti in red white and green with all Campagnolo and Cinelli bits, maybe Pirelli tires too?
Sounds lovely my friend go for it, my garage is backing up with projects now so many more to come. Definitely need to get my hands on a Guerciotti, enjoy buddy and thanks for your support.
Thank you sir! I really enjoy your channel a great deal. You've set a high bar for a random enthusiast like myself. I'll try and do you proud. Cheers!!
Another excellent build, congrats! I’m a big fan of the vintage Shimano, having everything from DA EX, AX, 7400, 7410, 7700, and 7800. I don’t have a 600 equipped bike, yet. You got me thinking. I have a late 80s Team Miyata that will need a respray. Maybe a similar color scheme as this Rossin but with Miyata branding is in order. Then just need to find a Tri-color 600 groupset. The only thing I would have maybe done differently on your Rossin build was to use a Shimano 600 aero stem. I have used these stems (AX, 600, and later DA) exclusively on most of my vintage builds utilizing quill stems. I am in the process of two retro-mod builds, 1989 Tesch S-22 and 1991 Zullo with silver Campy 11 speed, partly inspired by your Colnago example. For those, I was able to fine nice NOS Cinelli stems, an XA and 1R. Otherwise I would have used aero Shimano. Great content you are putting out. Keep it up! You and a few others on TH-cam are an inspiration to those of us who value this era of bicycles. You have a great platform to get the word and ideas out to the masses.
Wow, thank you my friend for your supporting comment 😉👍 Yes the Shimano stems are definitely a thing of beauty with concealed bolts etc, the stem I used I had already so it kind of made sense. Great to hear your mixing the 11 speed up, I absolutely adored the Colnago I did, definitely the best of both worlds. Thanks again and so much more planned watch this space 👍😉
It even has a njs-stamped bottom bracket thats a fun detail I noticed!
Thanks for your support
Big fan of Rossin. That is a beautiful frame. Nice job. What degrease solution due you use?
Thanks for the support and watching. The degreaser is simple gasoline/petroleum hope this helps. No naked flames 🔥
Hi Andy, been a while. I'm going to look for one of these as a next project. I love the color scheme and this would make a nice addition to my heavy metal collection.
Fantastic good to hear glad you liked it. Thanks for your support and watching
Another great video and restoration Andy 👌🏼 I really enjoy the look of this Rossin, there’s just something special about that retro Shimano colour scheme 👍🏼 Keep up the great work, you’re the inspiration behind my channel 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Wow means a lot my friend, your work is amazing and to be inspiring others as you are now doing, well that is something else 😉👍 top man keep it up all the best matey
Magnificent restoration and the next owner will have a grand bike. Great to have your knowledge, skill, dedication and all back alongside Monkeyshred, Garys, Red_dead, Bikespeeds, etc. but does anyone know where RJ is?
Hi thanks for your support, I’m friends on Facebook with him. He’s definitely knocking about enjoying himself I think he’s just having a break from putting content out 👍
Hi. Another great video. Inspired me to restore my Peugeot 100 Anniversary PH12. Sadly, it’s too much for me. Let me know if you want restore another one for the channel? Either way keep up the good work. 👏🏼
Great bike, sorry to hear it’s to much for you. I generally just chip away at them. Making a to do list. Unfortunately I have so many to get through at the moment. Thanks for your support
Used to list after Rossin frames in the old Freewheel catalogues back in the 80’s
Yes I’m with you, they were like an exclusive out of reach item. So glad I finally managed to get a grip of one 👍🚲
I am impressed by your work, especially the fine painting touch up. Question: if you are stripping a frame down -- that is, removing all the paint -- what do you use?
Thanks for watching regarding removing paint in the past I’ve used simple paint stripper wire brush and sandpaper. Hope this helps
Awesome video m8 as always mom says hi she likes it too missed yea videos keep em coming if you don't upload b4 Xmas then merry Xmas now to you and happy New year!
Hi and hi to mum 👍 I’m hoping to up load but if life gets in the way then hope you have a good one. All the very best, take care my friend
I’ve just completed a 600 tricolor groupset on one of my anniversary Raleighs, the other one is going 9 speed Campagnolo Veloce and it has the same black Cinelli stem as the Rossin got !
Sounds nice, I have a soft sport for a Raleigh as you maybe aware. Thanks for the support and watching all the best
great vid, again ;P
Many thanks
Very nice 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Top andy ✌🏼
Thanks buddy
Hey Andy :) how are yoiu doing, nmevermind you , the bike, the video all looking great, may that love for bikes you have go on and on and on no getting older here my friend those bottom brackets are tho and if not removed for a while is though to remove them .
Bike looks amazing, beautiful color scheme and awesome job on cleajning it up looks like new . BTW was that the original fork? since it had that short deda stem i thought it was threadless but then again am getting old miself and cant see all that well jajaja! whats the stem you replaced it with, i missed it when you said it sorry and also sorry it took me this long to come aqnd watch the video I've just been out of it all a little bit. Keep up the good work, I noticed you got t-shirts and hoofdies now, i'll come back and get one soon
Have a great winter and Holidays all the best
Hi buddy, good to hear from you. Yes I replaced the stem with a Cineli one including handlebars. I’m currently working on loads at the moment, I’ve got a Gazelle mono stay in 532 I’ve got a Dura Ace Groupset for that. A Pinarello with period C-record hmm Colnago Super Piu and I’m just about to build up a Frank Herity bike which is a local respected frame builder. So loads going on, so little time though hay buddy. Thanks for your support over the years it’s honestly good to hear your still watching. Hope you are enjoying the festive period take care my friend 😉👍
An absolutely brilliant looking bike! What’s done with the restorations after completion? Keep doing what you do! (Still rocking my Peugeot P11 that I bought new in 1984 - freehub single speeded and with clipless pedals, but I still have all of the original components!)
Very nice 👍 Thanks for watching most of the restorations I do I sell on which helps pay for the next project. I simply wouldn’t have the room either to keep them all. Thanks for watching and the support
Hi, Great resto. Really enjoyed watching your autumnal ride. Beautiful backroads. Can you name some of the villages and area you rode through ?
Hi thanks for watching and your support, I live in Stockport Cheshire the roads are in a place called higher Poynton and towards Macclesfield, hope this helps. All the best 👍🚲
Nice job. How did you get the Dura Ace indexing to work with the 600 Tricolor derailleur? The Dura Ace shifters shouldn't be able to pull enough cable... or are you using it in friction and it just sounds indexed in the video? In the video you didn't use the alternative cable attachment point that makes the two index nicely together.
Also, it's a personal preference thing, i guess, but you always shove the stems way down. Bikes of the era were usually set up with a bit more quill showing, in part because drops were deeper, and riders spent more time in the drops and less on the hoods, among other things.
But great work again!
Hi thanks for watching and your comment, yes you are correct regarding the shifting the index did work but not as well as I had hoped so yes when out riding I used the friction option for fine tuning the gears.
Regarding the stem generally It’s just more for the look of the bike. It creates a more aggressive race bike look. My personal collection of bikes are all set up differently depending on the style of riding I’m doing. Touring I’m definitely in a more up right position.
Thanks again and take care 👍
Very tasty indeed.
Time to bring the saw back though
Absolutely love it....Ill have to dig it out. Thanks for the support buddy
Looks dope yo
Thanks pal
Everytime i see you on these classic bikes you look so perfectly balanced with perfect body position. Cornering on that bike was almost perfect and your control was amazing. Your body just blended beautifully with that Italian stallion.
If only we could get all these types of bikes back into production and banish those slopping pieces of tawianese carbon trash from the landscape.
Glad you like them! Ive spent a life time riding them thanks for your support buddy. All the best
Gorgeous! I have those pedals from the earlier 6200 series, and a pair of 105, the toeclips are alloy not the brittle plastic and I also found there seems to be a repro clip being made in china. Bit pricey tho....also can't find cleats for them anymore...still, they look good on the shelf...
Thanks for watching and the support yes your right I have not seen cleats for them at all, shame really because the pedals are still going strong
Can you do a longer biuld that shows everything you do start to finish?
Yes I’m starting to do that 👍
Excelente video!
Saludos desde Uruguay, ne encantaría que también tenga sub títulos en español!!!!🙌😊
muchas gracias por su apoyo y observación
When you wrap the bars before mounting them, how do you know now long to cut the cable outers?
Yes I will place the bars on the bike first and measure up. If I wasn’t doing a video the wrapping would be the last thing I do. Thanks for watching
nice
Thanks
Cracking vid as always, what happens to these bikes? Do you sell them on or keep them?
Hi thanks for your support and watching, I generally sell them on. I really haven’t the room and like the idea of we own nothing in this life but just have things for a while, plus it helps fund the next project 🚲🚲🚲
@@BikeItUK where do you sell them?
Can you share the route you are cycling? Is the peak district that one?
Most of my rides are Cheshire in and around higher Poynton. I have done a couple of rides in Derbyshire in and around Edale. Thanks for watching all the best
Sweet
Thanks
Sorry if this has been asked before - what do you use to degrease all the parts? Thanks
No problem, for degreasing I’ll use petrol/gasoline hope this helps
@@BikeItUK Thanks! Assume that you are a non-smoker!!! At least in the workshop! :-)
Hey, what KASK model do you use?
It’s a Kask Protone 👍
Du you ever remove frewheel and refurbich, clean berings and the wheel hub? New lub.
Not that often, if they run smooth then generally not.
Amazing Bike!!! Very nice Work on this real treasure.
Just your Position is not quite fitting. Saddle is too high and back too far, handlebar doesn't offer its benefits, because it is turned up. Stem too low. But framesize is right here.
Glad you liked it thanks for the advice 👍
