  • This is probably the quickest project ever but I bought this frame from here last week from "craciunptr" (Its in better condition than he said in the for sale thread).

    Frame looked like this when I got it....

    ...and built it looks like this !

    It had to have Campag, and as a nod to the past I added a Concor saddle.

    Looking forward to the weekend !!

  • I'd level those bars

  • Imho the saddle sticks out like a sore thumb! But very nice build otherwise!

  • Beautiful. Very tasteful classic bike there, but just to echo the other comments:

    1) position your levers higher on the bends and level the bars.

    2) being such a small bike you need a slimmer looking saddle.

    3) you need to do up the quick release on your right hand lever.

    4) position the computer sensor nearer the top of the fork (yes, I know the zip ties will cover the logo, but worth it).

    5) you need to trim the cables shorter after each clamp.

    Nit picking though. That is a fantastic bike in great condition it would appear. A real keeper.
