Beginning the build out today. I should have this on the road next weekend. Installing a new drive line and wheels. I will post as it comes along.

This should be a great ride when it is done.

I'm somewhat jealous of your work area. Oh, maybe the bike too.

One big step is done. That is getting started. One thing I like about building up my bike is the little things that don't get skipped. I noticed the RD and cranks were not spotless. So I cleaned them to their original shine before installing.

Absolutely beautiful. Who did that paint?

Another question: is the tubeset for a CSI the same as for a CRL?

That was a stock CSI paint job once upon a time I recall.

The CRL was the predecessor to the CSI. Both sweet sweet bikes.

I see alloy. Nice! I regret going black and dark grey when I recently updated my CSI to Ultegra 10 speed from its original Record 8 speed. I may have to swap it for new alloy Athena. Good luck with the build!

Getting closer.

I have to pick a seat post. Thinking about a silver Thomson or Nitto.

I really like where this is going. I vote a nitto seatpost. It will match the stem better thn a Thomson.

That's where I am leaning.

I have a red and whit team turbomatic to top it off.

I purchased one of these I'm very impressed with especially considering the price.

I have it on a Merckx.

the nitto is nice, another option for the seatpost might be a dura ace ex.
