I finished painting the MIELE Columbus SL frame I'm using as a single speed. Got the decals on and reassemble all the components.















Bike has Dura Ace AX brake calipers for which I have four more sets of brake pads. Brake Levers are Tiagra. Crank is an Exage one with the grey anodizing removed and the crank polished. Pedals are RINO. Freewheel is an ACS Crossfire 20 teeth. Chain is a KMC. Wheels are MICHE hubs paired with MAVIC GP-4 tubular rims. Tires are CONTINENTALS. Seatpost is a Shimano 600AX aero post.

Congratulations. I'll be interested in your impression of the brakes.

I've liked the Dura Ace AX brakes since I had a comolete groupset of ura Ace AX on a bicycle back in ther mid 1980's. That is the one bike I'm very sorry i ever sold. It had aero tubing and even had the Dura Ace AX stem and bars.



I found the Dura Ace AX brake calipers sufficient then and still do. Adjusting the centering is dead simply = just pull/push the brake until centered. Even hooking up the cable is not hard.

Do you have a rear sew-up? Is that an old GP4 rim?
