the frame is great! the parts not so much, this frame needs the Titanium Campa Seat Post, also it needs a polished metal Stem and polished Campa breaks, and the Crank, even better if Cama Record the old one. then the whole will look great. this looks like a modern/traditional MIX. best Stefan
P.S. the chris king headset looks odd/ugly.

To each their own since that's EXACTLY what I didn't want.

yes yes, to each their own, no problem for me that your bike looks a little too bulky... just said what is see.

stuff the haters!
top build, im taking delivery of my master light soon (well 10 weeks really:()
Mine will be a similar, a few different components though.
FWIW i reckon the super record in all its carbon blackness looks far better than any silver/alloy group would.

Very nice indeed. A good setup. The only retro bit is the frame itself, which makes it a modern bike. It's looks better than mixing and matching old and new bits IMO.
I always have a steel bike (that's all we had in the 60's when I started) and it always has the smiley effect.

Thanks...I musti've looked at hundreds of Master builds before settling on this setup. I agonized over carbon vs chromed.

Yes, I DEFINITELY didn't want to mix/match...

What would your alternative suggestion be?
It still baffles me that the person who build "Thing 1" (best looking titanium bike ever) also came up with this
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
I think you re bike is very nice, i have the same frame ordered from maestro and will hopefully have it in the new year.
Mike from maestro is going to build it for me with the '07 record from my old frame and build me some wheels,ambrosio exellence onto record hubs ,if it comes out half as nice as yours ill be a happy man!
