the colnago looks hot with that front tire. you need to mount a match.
i really like the RB-1 too. i still vote DA 10spd downtubes and derailleurs teamed with those cranks and period correct DA brakes and levers. the tri-color/105 stuff looks nice but the DA mix would be unique and it would allow you to swap wheels.
the pedals look great on both. i think you will be very happy with them. they are heavier than keo pedals but i dont think my keos are going to last as long.

I hear you on making the bridgestone 10 speed , it will probably happen eventually but I have bigger fish to fry

picked up my new project this evening
'90's Colnago Master MTB
full shimano deore xt
gilco steel and lugging!
I will use it around town so am putting Campagnolo racing triple on for gearing and drive. and I already have Campagnolo Olympus Short reach brake calipers and levers, also getting bullet shifters

let me know if you're down for a ride.So far I only have the cranks, rims (campy sthenos - lucky MP find). Too bat a deal on brakes and levers fell through due to circumstances...

Well I finally have a camera of my own again, so here's a french mystery bike (link to original thread) that I picked up last summer and cleaned up enough to ride and it's such a fun and nimble ride but I think I'm just too heavy for narrow tubulars so I am going to be upgrading in the spring... the pedals didn't turn out as nice as I'd wished and I have some aluminum french pedals around here somewhere I want to swap over... the triplex derailleur that was on the bike is still rusted solid so I might have to give up on that part too. Otherwise all the other parts except the brake pads and repro hoods are what was on the bike as-found... oh and the bell so I don't get a 110$ ticket... I think I'll get one of those fancy bells and some new cable housing too.

[Dollarama has bells for a buck, by the way.

Nice build. How do those Titan frames ride? I was tempted to pick one up a few years ago when they surfaced.
I don't see too many of those Daytona 10s levers. I've compared them side by side to my Chorus 10 and they appear to be nearly identical. A very very subtle difference in finish maybe. They feel the same and I would guess they share the same internals.

Every time I see one of those late 80's SR builds, I get a little squooshy inside. Love them bikes.

Sixty Fiver, you said this to me recently, and now I'm saying it to you ---- that Twenty looks better now than it did when it left the factory! That's a real gem. And, at 61, that Brooks ought to be broken in finally.

The saddle is delightful and is in wonderful condition... it came on my 1951 Raleigh and I made a trade between these bikes as the B66 "Gents Model" saddle is a better fit on the Twenty and the Wright's W3N it had is a better saddle for the drop bar equipped Sports.
I have been fairly fortunate to have found quite a number of near mint 20's over the past 4 years... gave one to my wife (it matches mine) and last spring gave my '77 to my youngest daughter as that was my intention when I bought it and she loves it.
This is probably the nicest 20 I have ever come across and I do like the British models with their 451 wheels although the 406 equipped bicycles are a little tougher and ride better due to their smaller and higher volume tyres.
Sadly, I cannot sit up that straight on a bicycle for very long because of back issues so I reserve my '72 R20 for short trips... it was a wedding present from a good friend to match my wife's.
My P20 is set up for long distance riding... it will be heading off for powder coating in a few weeks.
