So.........after lurking around in the shadows on here for a while, I've finally plucked up the courage to start my first project.
I say that I've plucked up the courage, but it was perfectly timed to coincide with my Polish mother in law coming to stay for, an as yet, undefined amount of time. The fact that I green lit her visit, meant that my latest n+1 flew well under the radar.
Originally, I was looking at a Colnago Master, but that fell through due to the seller being a bit flaky. Kinda glad it did tbh as there seems to be an abundance of them around.
After exercising a lot of patience and scouring the interwebs, I finally found my project bike. As a first project, I wasn't looking for something that would require lots of work. Not that I'm not willing to get my hands dirty, but more to do with lack of experience.
As the title suggests, I stumbled upon a stunning Gios Torino on eBay and soon came to a private agreement with the seller.
