Hi all !
I was able to put some time on the Fondriest over the weekend. Did the following:
Now waiting for Fork (Columbus minimal), headset (Chris King), Seatpost (planet X 3d forged), stem (3t). All from Planet X.
Really disappointed @ Planet X service, it took them 5 days to figure out they were out of CK silver headsets and to replace with a black one (after my instructions).
What I learned from working on the bike:
Cassette, jockey wheels, and chair are all shimano !!! (seems to shift fine with Campy 9s, Sheldon brown seems to confirm this as well).
Frame is clean (apart from expected paint chips).
One of the chainrings is Miche (may replace in the future).
Also got a Brooks Swallow (my God it is heavy) for the bike. I bet it will be confy and will look great on the bike.
Got new cables/ bar tape etc!
