I think this pic will be a better representation of the fork, perfect.
With the previous pic, the fork seems to have a 'thicker' profile.
It's a great bike, hope you're enjoying it!

Yeah, I went through the same discussion with the guy who sized me up, I don't want to debate different people's set ups but basically it's what works for me personally. I'm in the drops for the large majority of my riding and I prefer a shallow drop to have lower hoods. I haven't had to work or suffer for the position I ride in and anyway, as i say it works for me, I've tried other setups and if they were more comfortable then I'd be riding them - trust me!

Based on your height and inseam, I would not go smaller than 58. I am just a hair under 181 tall with an 89 inseam and use a 57 (old-school fit) and a 56 (for my Extreme-C)..

You would be best off sizing yourself using your actual saddle height, rather than a measurement. I pedal heels-down and run about a 73 cm saddle height, using the old-school heel-on-pedal method; this measure also corresponds exactly to my pubic bone height length when measuring from pedal top to seat top. If you pedal heels-up, this can affect you frame size, as it changes your saddle height by several cm.

I think 57 will give you too great a drop for comfortable and efficient riding.

Very nice, but needs one of those stainless Ciussi bottle cages, or maybe a King Ti. When the frame came out, carbon cages hadn't been thought of.

Carbon?
Nope, it is a vintage ALE steel cage. See:

nice build, a classic.

Thanks. A future upgrade might be a set of polished alu Record or Chorus 9/10/11 hubs laced to a pair of Campagnolo tubular rims.

I have both Record (used) and Chorus (nos) available. Let me know if you are interested in either one.

God is in the detail ; )

Many nice master x-light projects lately! Here are some new photos of mine (Rolls saddle edition):

That's the way I like it

in watt mode

[dadoflam08]

that 0 degree stem actually works quite well visually

[kgt]

Thanks, I tried to keep it period correct as far as I could afford it.

Very nice.

Kept meaning to ask - how different are people finding the older vintage models and the newly drawn ones ? are the newer models much better from the feel pov ?
