Thank you for the helpful advises.
Im now replaced the rear skewer from Rolf's to Shimano's one. It does has more power to tight the wheel up in place. Very recommended for shimano or older campagnolo skewer type. Now just some updates with Campagnolo groups.

What do you mean by "sloppy" exactly? I think I might have this problem and I'm trying to diagnose it.

thanks
Far and Near Inc.
you can find them on ebay.
the material feel more like the shimano. Hudz is the other option but the material is stiffer compare to these
I like them so much I used them on another built.
Master Olympic
Dura Ace 7800
R700 compact crankset
modolo stem
Civia compact bars
Rolls saddle ( might be changed to a yellow gel flow)

I love this Peugeot build. We should meet up for a Pug ride soon. Is this a new upgrade? I feel like this had downtubes not too long ago but heck I may be confusing bikes.

Posted before, but I think the new color-coordinated Michelin Pros look spiffy.

Here's my latest. This is a 89 54cm Centurion Ironman. Started as a pristine frame and built with equally unused 600 tricolor 8 speed group.

Thanks!
Same bike with new running gear! I'd love to do a Pug ride but logistically it *might* be tricky since I keep this one at my in-law's. Thankfully they don't live too far away so doing a switcheroo wouldn't be out of the question. Do you ever do the classic River Road/9W ride?

Not familiar with anyone putting a threadless fork in their vintage frame though, if that's what you're asking. Not sure the steering tube diameters even work for this.
As for feel, I prefer the larger bar clamp diameter of threadless stems vs quill stems. Feels less flexy but not really a big deal IMO.

I meant replacing the fork with a threadless one.
I have converter stem on mines, feels nice. Just wondering if it be stiffer with a true threadless set up.

In theory, it does make it stiffer, but in practice, it depends on your riding style and strength.

Here's my Centurion Triathlon Master. When I bought it, it had 600 tricolor but unfortunately it was very weather so it had to be removed.
I decided to build it with Ultegra 6600 10sp with Shimano RS80 wheelset. I've done around 2000 miles on it and it's been fantastic.

Taking a survey: Veloce 10 speed now or Athena 11 speed in a few weeks? Silver, of course.

Can't go wrong, either way.

Lol let's be honest, if I based my bike decisions on what I "need" I wouldn't have this bike in the first place 😁

Gomango has been tweaking me for so long with his Kvale pix that I finally had to join the club. This is an early-ish one, '78 build, less than 2yrs after Chris started building. It arrived just a couple of days too late to take to the CR weekend, so I built it up after I got back. 10spd Dura-Ace ST7800 STI brifters, which is why it debuts in this thread.

I and my BIL just put a pair of Veloce 10-speed Ergos to go Shimergo on his RX100-equipped Centurion/Diamondback Expert TG. The rear shifting works a treat! The front... well it seems as though the shifter is a triple (5 clicks up and 2 down), though I thought I had ordered the shifter for a double. Because there are so many clicks, it does work and there's always somewhere to put the FD, it just isn't really nicely indexed like I'd want it to be. This is the 2nd Shimergo setup I've done and I'm not as happy as with my 3x9 Athena cross bike.
