My lastest project, the Moser I picked up here. Made some minor mostly cosmetic changes and now this one is pretty perfect to me.

Are you not like a *little* paranoid about riding gravel with carbon wheels and rim brakes? I feel like you're just asking to abrade away your rims prematurely.

respectfully not at all - plus I can always rebuild them with new textured rims. but... I do have painters tape on the HT until I redo the cables to keep the rub from peeling off too much paint!

Cinelli team FTW :



Unica circa 96, NOS frameset, Columbus Brain, size 60. Cinelli stem / seatpost / handlebar, all Campy Athena 11, but old picture, I've swapped the carbon levers for silver ones since then.

The brakes on these rims work exceptionally well & no squeaks.

Frame is new to me last week.
