What a great vibe.. well done Cuthbert and the team!

Install tip - Camp's hydraulic hose seems to kink much easier than other brands. When installing the hydraulic hose through the bars and frame, leave the shifter unmounted and off it's mounting bracket. Then attach the shifter to the already in place shifter mounting bracket. This ensures that there isn't any binding of the housing from being shipped in a spiral manner. The shifter will then unravel and be ready to install. This is from several installs. Enjoy!

It's because they're behind the times outside of adding a cog first. The thumb shifters were an ergonomic no-go for a lot of people. Paying a premium for worse ergonomics isn't something many people wanna do.

That tool box is insane 🔥

I think this bike is amazing! I love how you highlighted the underated Campagnolo groupset. My dream build happened in 2008 when I picked out the original carbon fiber specialized tarmac SL with the Campagnolo record 10spd. In 2024 I have since retired the bike and hangs in my room as a rememberance that j will never have a bike like this again. I'm totally in love with your build and I can't wait to see the next episode.

Can't wait to see the video detailing the build. I too went with the local builder for my custome Ti bike, Sam Whittingham of Naked bicycle design here in British Columbia, Canada. Sam has been building frames for decades and invented the handprint with the outline of Canada which Strudy plagerized on his frames with the British Island inside.

Bravo to whoever shot this. It's getting me pumped to ride my bike today! You are probably the best kind of person to use the electronic super record, not being super familiar with it. I'm a bit older and had mechanical campy for years and years. I personally cant get behind them doing away with the thumb shifter!

Glad SOMEBODY, other than me, loves Campagnola enough to actually use it. I just upgraded my old 1995 steel frame from Athena and other stuff Campy compnents, to a silver 11 speed Centaur and it's absolutely beautiful and performs as good as it looks.

Respect. Thats going straight to the bike vault.

That bike is absolutely stunning. I love the elegance of sturdy bike.

The Campag choice surprised me here as I figured Alex to be a Dura-Ace kinda guy. A pure follower of geek trends. I rode Super Record through the 80's and 90's but since then Ive had little reason to spend that much although my Campag Benotto still comes out in the summer. However, my dream build in the next couple of years, once I have some funds is a Super Record equipped Colnago Master in Saronni red... 🤤 New Super Record for a new classic, or old school all the way. That will be the question. Got to admit though, the titanium frame is a nice way to go, and keeping it local is a really good distraction from the potential of Colnago sexiness, given those Mexico frames are on 12+ months order! 😭 Look forward to part 2 Alex.

Lovely choices ❤

What a beautiful bike. I've been riding a titanium gravel bike for a few years now and I'm so happy with it. Never again another material. You can argue about the groupset. Everyone has their own ideas. Every time I get my titanium bike out of the cellar, a grin crosses my face. I love my Pilot bike, which comes from the Netherlands. But my dreambike is a Titanium from J. Laverack from Scotland.

I am doing exactly this on Friday with a bianchi mega pro L on Friday. Super record Campy Bora wheels and probably deda bars and seat post....The frame was NOS found in Florence last summer. Just hope my health holds to enjoy it..

A bike should be as unique as the individual riding it. That’s a beauty. Looking forward to the follow up video.

That is a nice build! I worked with The Casati Brothers and Rudi to get a blue, white and partially chromed Columbus XcR with a mix of Record and Chorus and a Deda cockpit and Prologo saddle. Rides superbly. I know carbon is usually lighter, but I prefer the feel and reliability of steel. I have an XcR Pelizzoli that i occasionally roll out for inclement weather.

A quality TI frame can't be beaten 😊

I had Campi Centaur in the past and it was a nice groupset, but I went back to Shimano 105 because it was less expensive and all the shops have the spare parts in stock. I wouldn't mind at all going back to Campi. Nice choice for his dream bike.
