Check it out. Scored this one locally. Had some fugly risers and tacky grips on it. Waiting on a stem for Cinelli 66 drops, and some straps for the track pedals off my old SS ride. Going to put a 16t on the rear as well. Eventually a new seatpost and saddle will come its way once I save up enough pennies. Oh, and new tires too. I really don't think the (really dirty at the moment) gumwalls suit the bike at all.
Shitty picture, but you get the idea. Handmade here in Quebec (hence the French) with 80s-looking Campagnolo Record cranks, chainring, hubs, headset and brake, and Campy aero seatpost (hence the Italian). Everything needs a good cleaning which I plan to do once I get a few more tools.
I can't decide what color tape I want on the bars. My feeling is to go black to match the logos, tires, and saddle... but I also feel grey or silver would look sharp against the green, and perhaps match the chrome. What do you guys think?
