It is a pretty "low budget" build. I paid £10,- for the bike at a flee-market.
Traded the powdercoating with some stickers (I'm a signmaker).
Of course I made the stickers myself. I polished the Cinelli stem and the Campa crank, those was on the Moto'. I cut the original Cinelli bar and turned it the other way around. Got a set of carbon-look wrap of eBay for a few and I got a great deal from Bell's Bike shop on eBay on the flip-flop wheels with FIXED COGS,LOCKRINGS, AND FREEWHEELS, Conti tires and a KMC yellow chain. All came to Norway from Philadelphia USA for $312.49 inc. shipping...
Quote, Bell's Bike Shop:
I gave £40,- for the San Marco seat (eBay). A OK alloy seat post also of eBay for £8,-
I gave 21 US for a (new) vintage Motobecane headset on eBay. And 12 american for a Headbadge.
And I used the 42 tooth chainwheel that was already on the old rat.
So I would say "low Budget"... :-)
You gotta' Love eBay!!
