After riding a Trek 2nd District for the most part of 18 months, I thought I would finally man up and build up my own. The Cinelli Gazzetta frame was the starting point a few weeks ago, and this is now coming along slowly but surely.
So far, I've got Dura-Ace 7710 with CXP33 rims (thanks to Vince), Nitto 176 Dream Bars (thanks to mx1000), Stronglight crankset in 170/48t (although given the rims, I'm semi-tempted to change it to a black chainring), Stronglight alu bb, Brooks Colt in mustard.
To follow are a decent stem (dibs'd), seatpost (in negotiation), brakes (in negotiation), levers, Shimano freewheel for now, matching Brooks bar tape, new Gatorskins.
Obviously suggestions are welcome, as this is my first build.
