BMC SLR 01 + Dura Ace 12speed

Hello friends of perfect road bikes! I have been fortunate in my professional, sporting and human life to have experienced the evolution of technology from analogue to digital, the evolution of society from communism to democracy and the evolution of cycling from downtube shifting levers to electronic shifting. I love the race bikes of the 70/80/90/00's for their simplicity, beauty, quality and above all spirit which is completely lacking in today's mainstream production... But when a friend brings me a pile of the best and most modern parts and a frame weighting almost what a fly does, my heart skips a beat too. It is a different skip than when I get a Campa C Record scratch-free RD but still... It's a different job but a perfect result is always pleasing... Next time I promise will be a true vintage video with bowden on the top and downtube levers!
Ahoj přátelé dokonalých silničních kol! Mám to štěstí že jsem ve svém profesním, sportovním i lidském životě mohl zažít vývoj technologií od analogu k digitálu, vývoj společnosti od komunismu k demokracii a vývoj v cyklistice od dvojpáčky až k elektronickému řazení. Miluji závodní kola 70/80/90/00 let pro jejich jednoduchost krásu , kvalitu a především ducha, kterého v současné mainstreamové produkci už zcela postrádám, ale když mně kamarád donese hromádku těch nejlepších a nejmodernějších dílů a rámu ve váze takřka muší tak mi srdce zaplesá taky. Jinak než když seženu šaltr Campa C Record bez škrábance, ale taky. Je to jiná práce , ale dokonalý výsledek potěší vždy...Příště už slibuji bude pravověrné vintage video s bowdeny vrchem a dvojpáčkou bez aretace!

this frame oh its unique, like one ring! hope someone will ride a lot with this bike, it doesnt stay on window displays and i hope i can afford one day.

Don't worry, it's for a young guy who will put a lot of miles on it. Thank you for your support.

Always a pleasure to watch the care and attention you give to every build. Your friend is lucky to have a great mechanic. 👍. Personal taste but not one for me 👍

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Thank you, I prefer my Ritcheys too!

[@jakubraimr9898]

A little too modern for me. But the result is amazing. What is the length of the cranks? I read that now it flies 165mm?

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

172.5

Qué prefieres hacer montajes de bicicletas clásicas o de bicicletas modernas?
Saludos

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

Las ruedas de acero clásicas tienen un alma que ha desaparecido con las ruedas de carbono (todo parece igual). Me encantan todas las bicicletas nuevas y viejas y ahora, sobre todo, mi Ritchey... es la mejor que he visto en mi vida.

Linda a bicicleta e sempre que vejo o sistema da Shimano mais moderno eu lembro do Craig Calfee que ajudou a Shimano quando estava perdida na construção do sistema eletrônico, ai ele ajudou a projetar como se é hoje além de ter sido uns dos pioneiros do carbono no mundo de altíssima qualidade competitivo, sempre lembro da Calfee por ser as bicicletas que mais admiro do mundo.

@@OnRoadVintageBikes Nós que agradecemos pela arte da mão em obra

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

@@Dino-Novo Estou grato pelo seu grande apoio, obrigado!

Why you use carbon paste grip for bottom bracket?

[@OnRoadVintageBikes]

And why not? I press the plastic bowl into the carbon, so I put the carbon paste in between, it seems right to me.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

as much as i like modern bikes with integrated cables, etc., they are nowhere near as beautiful as a 70s/80s steel bike with gleaming chrome 🙂

[@yukiko_5051]

Not as beautiful as 1903 tdf bike though
