A worthy build project?????

Hi all i was a single speed fanatic as a teenager and am now looking to rekindle my cycling passion with a singlespeed/fix project. however i am not particularly clued up on road bikes and frames, does anyone see this scapin as a worthy project?

i would greatly appreciate any comments on this as i dont want to waste my time on this, it is a scapin frame with geros team decals.

if this isn't worh it does anyone know of any bikes available for purchase for a project? or maybe i would consider buying a complete fro the right price.

please help

snoops

That bike is a really nice one to convert to a single speed. Doesn't need to much tweaking either.

yeah it looks perfect. go for it. and a conversion might give you more joy than buying complete.

Very nice.

Are the wheels 27" or 700c?

don't do it! as much as i love a good fixed conversion, that bike great as it is. keep it original and find another frame.

yeh i do like the look of it, not sure about the wheels, il try and find out.

any opinions on the frame?? doe sit look solid, more pictures on flickr link, i havent recieved it yet, to be posted from hungary, also the gear levers would stay if i made it fixed, not sure.

hmmm

3ttt handle bar
3ttt stem with Scapin logo
Campagnolo headset
Campagnolo Victory set
Campagnolo Record hubs
Regina cassette
Campagnolo seatpost
Selle San Marco Rolls seat
Look pedals

Columbus tubes
Seat tube 60 cm (C-C)
Top tube 59 cm (C-C)

think itl need new tyres and might do wheels soon after.

really cant decide whether to fix it or not...

just my opinion but .. please don't fix it ! restore it to it's original glory ! most of the parts look good to re-use from the photos and Scapin is a great Italian frame builder. lesser known then de-rosa or colnago but still worthy.

I agree with Oswald and Hassaner. It's a beaut.
Get hold of some other frame. Loads of people have them knocking about...

that's an extremely lovely frame. keep it, restore.
