[quote="Sean Hogan - 何祥"]All this retro wooha reminded me of a guy's bike I saw on the HoTA. It had Campag Deltas on it and even as a diehard Shimano man myself I thought they looked really good.

Campag Delta brakes - look great, couldn't stop a ping pong ball with a brick wall.

Very cool Mr :mrgreen: . If this was Top Gear you'd be on the 'cool wall'.
I can lend you an allen key to tighten your seat post up, or would you prefere a box spanner.

Nice pics all the same MM

This is more like it; none of that carbon sole rubbish.
