Nah man. Steel is real. If it works just ride it. Every day.

'97 Serotta Atlanta Frame with F1 Carbon Fork, mix of Campagnolo Record and Chorus, Mavic Helium with Vittoria CXs, Syncros Titanium set post, Cinelli Grammo Stem, Race Face Crank Set and Bottom Bracket......what more to say......

.....so now it's time for a new project........

First part to look for ..... Campagnolo Chorus 1 inch threaded headset....

Then put the bike in the Current Projects thread.

And bin your suspense-punctuation in this thread.

I've got a '83 Super saronni that cycles like this

Gonna get a top of the range 90's steel frame.
Still not decided on the ultimate frame to aim towards.
Pinarello Gavia/Colnago Master, still looking
Still learing about 90's steel, thing about 90's is straight forks, not too fond of'em.

Colnago and Pinarello bikes are really nice bikes, but you will see them on every corner. Have a look at Tommasini bikes. I adore the Tecno frame.............well one day ;)

true, custom Tecno frame would be up there , just had a quick look on ebay for a tommasini frame and only one came up!

I'd still be mad on a red master, they're just the beez neez.

even a Gavia frameset is unbelievably rare and when it does pop up it costs at least 1000 bucks.

You're hung up on Italian steel, mostly too expensive. Just pick up a nice dutch or english frame made of a great tubeset, they go for peanuts, even ones by top notch builders.

I got a fantastic Duell here a couple of years ago for £150! It's an absolutely brilliant ride. Straight forks and everything.

I just bought a Tommasini Prestige, really looking forward to go on a ride with it :)

any pictures?

Not yet but I'll take some to post here, I'm really happy with it
