Anyone still have a steel bike?

This is such a slick build. I like the white hoods and the overall ascetic.

Such a smooth ride too, perfect blend between the forgivenesses the steel and the stiffness of the lightweight Meilenstein

Agreed. I like running my steel bikes with LW which otherwise sometimes to springy.

First day on the road this year. Was good timing because I just finished my new Italian beauty. Absolutely loved the ride, it's more on the comfy side although saddle to bar drop is a little bit more aggressive compared to my other ride. Weight seems to be pretty decent too for a steel frame in that size, came in at 8,86 kg. Took two quick cellpone shots for now:

Looks fantastic. I've been waiting to see pictures of it finally finished. I love it. What saddle height / bar drop do you have ? I think it looks pretty damn good. We had the modern-retro discussion and I'm definitely a fan. The fork seems ultra skinny by comparison to the stem but I love the detail of the rear stays. And that colour. It's amazing. Chapeau.

@rjaync: Thank you, really appreciate it! The saddle height is 81cm, bar drop is 10,5cm. Concerning the modern-retro discussion, my personal opinion is that those kind of bikes have a very own sort of appeal. There are a lot of examples on the net that look absolutely stunning. So again, glad that you like it!
Unfortunately I couldn't find a stem that has a slimmer profile than the Deda Superleggero [emoji28] Would love to run a -10 degree stem but then the drop will be too much to handle for me I guess.

Frame-wise, this thing is stiff! I'm 5' 11.5" and 195 lb. range. Columbus Muscle seat stays would tame the sometimes "too stiff" rear end. It would fit me better with about 7 mm. added to the TT length with a 110mm stem. Maybe a different paint scheme some day.

Component-wise, eventually I'm changing calipers, skewers, crankset, pedals, cassette, and saddle.

* Will update specs and pix as they change. This pic does not show new Easton bar & Ritchey stem, shorter steerer tube, Record Ultra Narrow chain, Zonda rear wheel, and mounted tubulars.

Do you still have this? Have you ever noticed how finicky the headset adjustment is for an integrated headset? I've tried new FSA Intellaset Pro bearings and same issue. Like only the slightest amount of torque needs applied to the top bolt for proper adjustment. Not sure if it is a unique issue to this frame or the Columbus style headsets used.

Been almost a year changing parts from bare frame. Here's what it looks like recently. Had black full super record groupset and LW, Bora, Mille, you name it, but decided I like shiny things on this

Love this one ! Nice job
