I suppose the questions would be, where would I start?
What would I need to make it a reality, tools parts, etc?
I'm considering doing it for the challenge and because I haven't done it before.
The concept is for a bike that has an un-complicated look and clean lines. Something that i've built. The pompino is for commuting/workhorse.
The reason I went with the Bianchi is the look. I don't like flat bar bikes but was thinking either bullhorn or the curved track style

stem eg.

ps, if this is yours.. nice.
I'm leaning towards bull bars. with brake.
I'm a short arse so would need a fairly small frame the pompino is a 51cm. I have short arms so a short stem.
