Mid 90's Olympia Fusari EL-os as pictured without bottles 8.26kg.

Hot, Not a fan of the blue tape though. It’s distracting IMO. Also, why are the rear and front calipers different?

Yeah I'll change the tape, it's what I had on hand when I bought new bars and stem so could ride next day. Calipers are both ice grey Force, I had silver Red on there just prefered gray. I would prefer black really but may go back to the Red's in the meantime

Well done.

Also, SPDs on an Aethos? Bro.
