Building an `89 Carrera team bike - with epic Chromovolato paint!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Take one `89 Carrera team bike, down on its luck, but with a fully chromed frame still glinting in the light... then research, research, research and dare paint it in blue chromovolato (clear blue laquer straight onto the chrome) with stencilled decals - super cool and proves to be as hard to pull off as imagined...
Then its time to build up in full Dura Ace 8 speed and glorious Ambrosio team edition wheels.
A stunning build but boy did it take some time and effort...

That bike turned out absolutely stunning, great work!
Chromovolato -its just a thing of beauty, Dan
Very pretty machine! Bravo, Dan!
Thanks, Dan
@@vintagevelos9517 My pleasure!
Great work Dan
Thanks, Dan
Awesome work, Well done!
It was a lot of work - Chromo is not easy on the nerves, Dan
Nice job, looks brilliant.
Thanks - riding review coming soon, Dan
Magnificent.
Can`t wait to ride it, Dan
Hi Dan,
It looks stunning great job
Thanks, Dan
Stunning! Love the shirt! I have the same one.
Its a fine shirt, Dan
Hey Dan , great video. The bike turned out very nice. Looking forward to your road review you have planned on the two Carrera team bikes .
Coming soon, will be an interesting comparison, Dan
What a lovely looking bike.
Even better when you see it up close, Dan
Wow.
Better in the flesh, now to see how it rides, Dan
great looking classic Dan hope my Tassoni project turns out as good, great work!
Nice, what are you working on? Dan
I use KMC chains also. I got burned by a couple of counterfeit Shimano chains that rusted in a few months.
You cant go wrong with KMC chains,i use them on all my builds
@@andypettitt1344 Yep, got to agree - not sure why I went for a Shimano branded one as I usually default to KMC - will be sticking with them from here on in, Dan
Always enjoy your content like this... Awesome. Would be even great if there was the process shown with the paint job 😉
Hmm.... not sure youtube would allow the amount of swearing/frustration for that, Dan
Gorgeous! Well done.
Thanks, even better in the flesh, Dan
Nice bike there Dan, looking forward to hearing how it rides. all the best
Yep, ride video coming soon, Dan
It looks very attractive. Looking forward to seeing how it rides.
Stunning bike in the flesh, Dan
Fantastic looking bike.
Yep, its a real beauty, Dan
A really lovely build!
Thanks, Dan
Beautiful build Dan.
Thanks, Dan
Beautiful compact bars on the vintage bike. Way to go!
Yep, I do like a narrow bar - those big 44cm wide bars on a lot of period team bikes just feel huge! Dan
9 Speed KMC chain is what I use on my STI brifter 1x8 and it works well
Yep, all good on this rig, Dan
Looks awesome sir fine job 👍
Thanks, Dan
Stunning looking bike. I know it’s not period correct, but I can’t help but think it would look even better with more chromovolato blue, and none of the chrome circles. Would no doubt have made for an easier paint job too!
Good tip on the 10sp chain on 8sp Shimano. Might give that a go when I need a new chain on my father’s old Ultegra 600 Tricolour equipped Dyna-Tech 755 Ti…
I know what you mean - I felt like I`d pushed the limits far enough with early sti and chromo paint to leave out the chrome cricles - they are just a really distinctive part of that years look, Dan
It looks beautiful Dan!😮😍
You really did an awesome job 👏
Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎
Thanks, Dan
Dan, I have a De Rosa Nuovoclassico Black Label with cherry red cromovulato. It’s beautiful
Now that sounds like a good looking ride, Dan
Great bike Dan. The high price of genuine Shimano chains has attracted counterfeiters. The hooky packaging is identical but the chains are very different visually from genuine Shimano.
There are a few post on youtube that help in identifying the mick mouse chains. Its a bit late for you I know but the uploads do make am interesting watch, the hooky chains real are rubbish.
Thanks for posting Andy
I usualy go for KMC so no issue there - as soon as I started working with that Shimano rip off I knew something was wrong, Dan
Stunning looking bike Dan, fantastic job 👌, how about a number board as per Zimmerman in 89 🤔
Have you seen the 1990 ex team bike on eBay from Chris bertwistle bikes ?
@@brynmatton107 Havn`t seen the ex team bike on ebay - just a few replicas - whats the link, Dan
IIRC, the Carerra bike company was owned, or part owned by the Carerra team manager David Boifava, with the frames being made by Roberto Billato. Also, frames were made in green, blue and a dark pink chromovelato, and had TSX tubing, although they may well have used SLX as well (both having rifled tubing).
To be honest I find it tough spotting the difference between slx and tsx - other than tsx is younger. The blue with the chrome circles and chrome stencilled decals were the unavailable ones - I`ve seen some of the pink and green ones and they look more of a regular solid chromo paint job - super nice though, Dan
Billato had nothing to do with Podium Sport. Frames were made in Brescia.
@@vintagevelos9517SLX is lighter due to the way it’s rifled. With regard to cromovelato, it’s not strictly paint rather tinted lacquer which is translucent to allow the chrome underneath to be visible on much the same way a mirror works. Chances of that being Zimmermann’s is slim as it looks too small. What size is it?
I think of Battaglin when seeing that finish and would have thought they made that frame. The experts are setting the record straight here.
The refinish looks great.
Zimmerman is really tall.
@@m.talley1660 Yep, but checking the period picks he didn`t ride crazy big bike, Dan
Very strong in Work and Style! Great.
But one thing isn't so nice: stem ist too low, saddle too high. Back in the 80s and 90s they used these stems as what they are - raisable ones! I think you should raise it at least about 1cm, maybe 2cm.
The saddle went down 20mm when I set the reach/stack to 78/78 - you are correct, would have had a less aggressive setup back in the day but the position is what I`m used to (too much riding the Pantani Bianchi...) Dan
Please describe 80s and 90s frame materials. Thanks!
Hmmm... good idea, will do at some point, Dan
I am assuming you didn't 2K clear-coat this frame? Wouldn't that make the chromovelato a little more resistant to wear and tear?
I did 2k clear coat it for resiliance - but that doesn`t help with addessian, Dan
How did they manage to lose the court case with Halfords?
No idea, Dan
Awesome video and classic bike build,is that a ITM 130mm Goccia alloy stem?
Yep, well spotted, Dan
Regarding super gluing cables. Would you be just as well good with solder?
Would be even better - just a time/effort thing, Dan
@@vintagevelos9517 fair enough.
2:27 'Carrera SLX' oops
Carrera/Columbus... Dan
Is it title correct? "Carrera tea bike" or "Carrera team bike"??
I gagged on my 'tea' when I read that too...
It's a tea bike because at the time Carerra used to have tea in their bottles - honest.
@@caerffili_callin LOL!!!
@@ZeEingozuBa I kind of like a tea bike (anyone recall Tebag pro frames back in the `50`s - alas I will now amend the tittle, Dan
