mxl progress

not much.
however, i have century grey centaur crankset , front derailleur and brakes on their way.

for decals (i say decals, but they'll be painted on) i'm almost locked in on the current model's design below, but i'm still undecided on colour.

my heads saying 'oh, just go saronni, coz it'll sell easily if you want to sell it'
my hearts saying 'dude, you really want to paint it for the next owner??'

so far the shortlist is dark metallic purple, dark metallic green, or silver.
maybe century grey..

either way, i'm keen on century grey centaur drivetrain, chrome forks, lugs and stays.
rims will probably be dark grey or maybe silver. hubs are low flange, polished 32h daytonas. 3x lacing.

new bike

no pics yet, as it needs bartape and tyres before i can post images.
another colnago. this one won't be sold.

ok, heres a pic of it in the old owners laundry. swapped for $1050 worth of painting work.

'99 (i think) master extra light with carbon flash fork, running 9sp veloce and scirocco g3s

things it needs:
tyres - mismatched, not holding air, cactus. $100 (michelin speedium2 -basic black tyres - $16 each)
bartape - falling off. $30 (black ambrosio handlebar ribbon -$20)
rh lever hood - looks like a dog ate it. $50 (pair) ($33 on ebay)

things i want for it
chrome fork - $150?
headset - polished - $90
seatpost - campy non-aero (centaur etc) $100
s'post binder bolt - campy $20
32h eyeletted silver box section rims on my daytona hubs $200-$300
new paint - $700?
either bare chrome or colour by joe cosgrove.
i think i want these decals, on saronni red with chrome stays and headtube lugs.
