More Campy Bike. I've decided to wait for the WTB bars and the experimental rear elastomer to show up.
Heck, even my trash looks cool these days

Those wheels look really cool, I like the triple parallel spokes. And on the front as well! Hmm.

AFter an elephant's gestation...
The Centaur Silvio is finally ready - although I think I will have the bars re=taped by someone who knows what they're doing.
Don't ask me how it rides - it's set up for Bryan Ball and it doesn't fit me. But the drivetrain has a wonderful :::snick-snick::: shifting action from the Campy "Quick Shift" setup, and the WTB bars look like they're worth the delay to wait for them...
The Jagwire inline cable adjuster I highly recommend - made setting the FD up much easier.

Okay,
I couldn't live with the yucky tape job, and I couldn't live with the fact I couldn't do it,
So I redid it - not so bad this time, and my manhood's not damaged by the failure :roll:
I love this bike - I can't wait to set the second one up so I can ride it!
Be well,
Doug

Ok, I can already tell my bike isn't going to be "real" with pics for a while, especially since I'll have all this "temp" stuff sticking around and until I get happy with the setup. Wrapping handlebars? I'm not going to be wrapping no stinking handlebars until I'm sure which ones I settle on. :mrgreen:

Not all progress is noble in appearance...
So the Campy bike is in disassembly and packing to go to Bryan.
The objective is to remove nothing that will require cables to be disconnected.
The TFT will come out completely and the front triangle tube and crankset will be lashed to the side of the frame (liberally insulated with cardboard, bubble wrap and plastic bagging, of course.
Jeez it was pretty when I started... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Yeah, you would think Doug would have at least used some cool designer cardboard, huh!??! Cheapskate!

Ahhh... as with fine marble, so with cardboard -
