I am building a geard bike for some longer rides. I started with the 1994 Coppi frame I bought off the forum. I have been adding bits of NOS Campy from the mid 2000's such that I have a reliable bike but with nice shiny bits on it.
The only major thing I need now is a fork. But I have the option of going chrome threaded to keep the original look of this mid 90's frame, or I could go carbon ahead for weight and comfort.
I guess the purpose of this bike was both as a fun project to build, and as a bike to ride, which makes me think carbon - but it would look nice if I kept it chrome.
What does the forum think?
