An intentionally slow build, but turned out to be an enjoyable bike to ride. This’ll be mostly used on the track though it’s had a couple of street rides. I skimped a little on the parts for the build, when I worked out the cost vs payoff factor. Pedals, Tyres and chain will be changed out for the proper ones when I get a spare moment.

I was going to pick this frame up about a year ago but instead got the Vigorelli. Funny how things happen.

Here’s the parts list:
Frame / Size / Year: Masi Coltello 53cm 2010
Handlebars / Stem: Deda Pista Alloy, Deda Carbon Bar Tape, Thomson Elite X4
Fork / Headset: Masi Track, Integrated
Front Wheel / Tire: Mavic Ellipse, Detonator
Rear Wheel / Tire: Mavic Ellipse, Zaffiro
Crankset / Bottom Bracket: Sram Omnium 170mm
Saddle / Seat Post: Selle Italia SLR Fibra Carbon, Leader Carbon Aero
Pedals / Chain: Shimano 105, KMC
Gearing / Chainring / Misc.: 49:16 or 49:15, Stronglight and Dura-Ace. Got some MKS tensioners also. Weighs in around 7.5kg.

    Yes Adam, but this frame isn’t carbon and these wheels are quite heavy. Still, pretty happy with the way it turned out though :)
