Omega galore

Omega projects, I can’t wait to get back into them and have some progress photos. I have most of the components to rebuild to the catalog specs. I was lucky enough to get the Sm Omega from a one owner so I have a list of what it rolled out wearing since it was never really detailed in a catalog. Strange enough, it wore more Mavic than the Se did from the same year.

The Cook Bros cranks are just amazing to look at. The only modern crank that I think looks nearly that nice is the stuff from 5Dev

Agreed, Love to see the Omega builds. They are not common.
Yeah it is a shame too, since they were often the nicest looking bikes of that model.. It's one more thing I will add to my list of "If I ran Cannondale".. bring back the Omegas!

The plan as of now is pepperoni with flex stem on the SE and RS1 with nitto stem on the SM. That’s what I’m preparing for lol. The QR’s I might use in place of ringle on one of the builds since I only have one set of ringle TI’s. Trying to use a lot of what I have to save whatever I can
