So last year I picked up an awesome unknown, black, Italian road frame with crimped Columbus tubing (and has been sat patiently next to my bed ever since). Last night I also picked up an equally awesome chrome Dancelli road frame. My current everyday bike is a plain grey Columbus Guerciotti pista. Maybe I have a type.
Since I have vowed to be sober and smoke free for January, I need something to do with my money, time and hands. So time to build.
The black frame (the crimped crusader) will hopefully be brought to life with a modern groupset, either SRAM or Campagnolo.
The Dancelli will be a classy Italian 3 speed town bike. Postino bars etc. The frame lends itsef to it with long dropouts, and no front mech braze-on. I know there'll be haters, but at least it'll have a few gears.
So I'll end up with something vaguely similar to....
