Glad I didn't sell the frames.
Piecing these together slowly has been long, lol. Glad to get the major items out of the way. Enjoy the pics

I took a few reels to The Tackle Trap to try out the new left hand 7.2:1 gears in the Monoblock/CVZ (and the Pixy, Sol, Alphas) and saw this quick photo opportunity on top of the brand new reel cases at the shop! The Racing Milano is sporting a fresh new set of 7.2:1 gears and the install was a drop in $\:D/$ The Tackle Trap has the gears for the left hand reels, will have them for right hand reels soon. Enjoy!!

It took a while but the Monoblock monkey is on my back.

I have very little knowledge of them so pardon my noddy question. First came the 100 (2007) then; Grigio Titanio (2009), Racing Condition, Racing Milano & Evoluzion Topaz (2010), HG68 & Racing Viola (2011) and last but not least the Speciale (2015), I see some have 80mm vs 70mm and there are suble weight difference but does any have a performance advantage over another ?

I'ze Nambu Shikki came first. Only mechanical difference really is either 5.8:1 or 6.8:1 Gear ratio. HG68 was the first of the 6.8s. Some have Carbon Fibre handles, but most early models had alloy.

What's so special about the Megabass IS Honeycomb in a Monoblock

Anxiously waiting for the 7.2:1 gears to arrive for the right hand reels. A set will be going in my Speciale. $\:D/$
