Super Record, pal. :D

I meant to start another thread on trouble pics. How the heck did it appear here?

Doh. Of course. Brain fade. I've been looking at DuraAce 7400 stuff today.

That's good stuff. They are way over built and when I had them (switched over form Campy because they just didn't work) it never missed a shift. A bit heavy compared to today's Group set, but the feel is very heavy and mechanical.

Must go see my mother for a late dinner. Will try when I get back later. You will be up for sure. Its 7:30 here now. Thanks for the tip. You too Herr

Yeah, until they don't. The right brifter isn't 100 percent happy. I'll see if WD 40 or solvent will fix the issue, otherwise I'm looking at a hefty bill for a good used one.

What's it not doing? I know the 9 spd had issues with it sitting. The grease solidified keeping the cable from moving. I shot degreaser in there and it freed up then lubed up with a white lithium grease and its worked ever since. That bike doesn't get use often especially since it being the left shifter.

Dangit. Only two of them loaded.

Anyway the blue Basso with the yellow tape looks beautiful. That's what a proper road racing bicycle should look like

'New' Record Carbon 9-speed on my 1999 Bianchi. I'm pretty sure I go faster now :cool:

You mean like this?

Funny, I've been looking at Basso's lately.

It's having a tough time downshifting to the little cogs. Feels like it's gummed up, I thought I had it working after a WD40 bath, but not good enough yet. I'll go in for a second round, but I want it off the bike before I give it a deep dive..

Loving the Masi Gran Criterium. It'd be fun to do that!

Some damn fine bikes.

And to think that in 1972 I thought I was in tall cotton with my $140 Raleigh Grand Prix.

My current project. ;)

mine wouldn't go into the small ring. I bet it is the fine Shimano grease.:rolleyes: If WD 40 wouldn't do, try tranny fluid. The problem is to re-grease in some of the area that's impossible to get at. I hear taking that apart is almost impossible to get it back together. At least for the 9 spd shifters anyway

:eek:

That must be a newer one with a 1 1/8" head set?

Yes it's a "new" frame. Note the modern drop outs for the rear wheels.

- The fork is carbon.

How does it ride compared to a new carbon frame? That I mean responsiveness not just the way steel feels.

Reason I ask is that I have been riding my old Colnago C 40 cruising around with my boy for the past month. Its a dream to ride, smooth, feel pretty good off the saddle. Got on my Time yesterday in over a month, and it just went without much effort. Stiff and smooth for sure, but I felt every bump on the road unlike the collage or the Merlin.
