This Magnum Opus was ordered to match the first 953 curly made in 2020, also featured at the Gallery. This one was delivered in the summer of 2023, slightly larger, with similar lugwork and finish. The lug windows are finished in sky blue enamel, with dark blue lining, by Argos of Bristol.
Thanks to: Chris King (headset), Thompson (titanium seat pin), Mavic (Ksyrium SL wheels), Campagnolo (mechs, brakes, bb), and my mechanics Patrik Widmer, 47-Degrees North (Biel, Switzerland) for help preparing the frame, and Gabor Herczeg (Bern, Switzerland) for recycling and refurbishing the appropriately retro-look Campag Ergo 8-sp. brake-shift levers.
