Scapin re-re-re-build

13.07.2009

Well the Scapin has been rebuilt. Again. For the fourth time in its life. Although since its original build in 2005 it's now been converted to a 12 speed road bike, circa 1985 vintage.

All Campagnolo Super Record and some Nuovo Record components. It was great to build it up again overlooking the fjords... and taking the time to completely disassemble most components and give them the cleaning of their life. Only thing left now is the get some decals made up for it.

The frame in the bubblewrap again..

It must be getting sick of this by now. It's spent more time in bubble wrap/bike boxes and workshops than it has on the road the last 2 years.

Some of the parts

Great parts - showing a Super Record 'exploded view'.

Campag C9 Chain

Realistically, too narrow for the purpose - I need one designed for a 6spd drive train, not a 10 speed.

Various campag parts

Ooh. shiny.

Tightening the bottom bracket

Sans ringlock tool.

The Super Recrod Headset

Little bit of patina, and the pantograph detail on the frame needs colour detailing...

A disassembled Super Record brake caliper

Precision
