Current Projects chat and miscellany

I was expecting some kind of old school MTB when I read this before scrolling down. When you say trails, what exactly do you mean? Presumably just gravelly bike paths as opposed to downhill through forest type stuff?

The frame is beautiful, and for a cheap build that looks great.

Yeah mainly un-named roads, gravelly, occasional rock fall, some villages that are roughly concreted

I'm thinking in the future if I find myself cut off from other interesting spots by real offroad areas i'll take down an MTB too.

Is that head badge engraved?

Yeah the headtube is engraved. The photos aren't great but it's very well put together, the classic Cinelli BB, lots of panto, the paint is metallic lilac and pearlescent creme, with a Somec-ish pattern.

Certainly well used, chips, scratches, but I like that - I worry whenever something is in too good condition. The BB and headset were dead when it came to me and it certainly seems to have been well used. Very happy with it all in all.

Also, late at night but:

a blue Faggin Cromovelato just arrived at my door :)
