Drillium at it's best.
Just had to pass this modern day drillium along for all to see.

That is Otis, he posted that Ritchey set in the 75th Anniversary Paramount thread.
Forgot to say it's absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if it would be more expensive to find the pieces for my Guerciotti or have him do the work to my SR groupset.

only thing.... IMHO don't cutout/drill C record cranks except maybe on the arm's inside...
also, multiple round drilliums on nuovo record fr. dérailleur is plan ugly
everything else is really nice.

wow... not sure I'd call it all drillium if he's not going all the way through though? More like millium perhaps?
I love those ones that are just milled and painted. It's so lovely

While some of this is quite attractive...and I can DEFINITELY appreciate the craftsmanship...I guess I am just too traditionalist...and feel like it is almost sacrilege to drill through, mill, etc. some of these beautiful pieces of art that we use! Not trying to start an argument...as I said, I find some attractive...but...I like the looks of the originals better!

I love the theme of the brake levers with the clear hoods - well thought out and executed flawlessly (like everything else that comes out of your little workshop, Otis).
Yeah, that's drillium taken to an entirely different level

I love the milled bits and some of the drilled bits, but I have no idea what anything is 'worth'.

I've got nothing against holes in the right places. The classic vintage Campag brake lever design is one of my favourites.

agreed. bad milling/drilling is a crime against humanity in ALL forms. Not just bikes
