The Modern Classic
I recently built-up this bike for a friend. The goal of the build was to use a classic frame built with modern components while keeping the classic look.
The frame is an original team edition Eddy Merckx 7-Eleven team frame, it even has a number holder. The frame was recently refurbished and repainted and looks like new.
The components I chose are a mix of new 11 speed Campagnolo Athena and Veloce in silver. I also sourced some older parts like silver Campagnolo hubs and a 1" threaded Record headset to allow the build to transition from classic to modern without the use of black components.
I think the build turned out nicely. Here are some photos:
