Theres a couple of people on here with BJ Vigorelli's in CP but here's my version.
Bought the frame off Metrocammell about a month ago and have been accumulating parts ever since. It came with a campy record pista BB already installed and an ofmega headset.
Building this with a view of taking it to HH for some practice sessions. Will I be ok with 167.5 mm cranks? I realise I'll have to swap the bull horns out as well and loose the brake.
The frame has a few nice features which i think are different to other Vigorelli's - beautiful flat crown fork, Dimped seat tube and long rear dropouts; these were the deal clincher for me.
I've decided to go for a Japanese aesthetic as much as possible to make a change from my campag equipped road bike. I have to admit I'm not too clued up on Jap parts so lets see how this goes....
Gave the fame a quick clean a la:
The parts I've accumulated so far are:
Selle San Marco Turbo
Dura Ace AX Seatpost (late 80's I think)
Dura Ace 7600 Crank Arms
NOS Sugino Super Mighty chainring (46t)
Nitto 80mm Dynamic Stem
That's all at the moment......waiting on:
DA7600 wheels on Aerotracks
DA7400 pedals and clips
Mavic Bullhorns
Let us know what you think. If anyone knows or has either some NOS or used Vento/Shamal/Atlanta 96 rims I would be interested in talking to you.
Thanks
