Opinions on Fausto Coppis

Was looking about in BLB today and I'm quite liking the look of the Coppis' and just wondered if anyone could let me know how they ride. Thanks

Bought one the other week, almost finished. I got a white with triangular tubing, black decals and lugwork

Dying to ride it!

I have an Alu one and it rides really nice, bars that came with it are too wide for me but I don't ride it much, (105 group set). I know there are some older lugged ones too, is that the one blb have.

i saw one of the white triangular tubing ones today, it was indeed very pretty, Not in my size though.

Yer their lugged steel ones, new which is nice.

f***!

you seem to be missing a saddle.

Oh fuck, thanks, wondered where I was going wrong

happy to help lol whats the rear tyre on it btw?

Rubino Pro

I've got a saddle and seatpost. I've gotta cut a few inches of the seatpost though as the seat tube is cylindrical at the base of the seatstay but then goes triangular and doesn't go down very far!!

fucking nice frame!

so is that a current production model?

I think so. Brand spanking new. Thinking of getting full chrome forks on it though

I wouldn't personally, the forks are just too nice (unless for brakes)
very very sweet my friend, very sweet.

The forks have got a hole drilled but I'll need to put the other wheels on and obviously the caliper. The caliper's black though, don't think it'll look right, might get a silver caliper and lever, not decided yet

i have a pair of yellow coppi forks on my bianchi pista.. they seem to do the job. Hold the front wheel on, allow me to turn corners, that sort of thing :)

Think I saw you the other day then, they got 'COPPI' on them in green, you got fairish hair?

are they the £350 frames??

looks fucking sweet mr p.

Yeh, steep but It's what I had as a budget so hey....

Very nice bike mate. Get it built up and come show it off at polo. What bars are they?

ooooo yeah they do, where did you see me? fairish/curly.

I don't want to 'show it off' I'll look a ponce! :-)

Nitto Tange bars

asm ooooo yeah they do, where did you see me? fairish/curly.

Top of my street at work I think - Gray's Inn Rd/Britannia St

oh round holborn way? yeah i was sorting out some bank issues there last week some time. wearing a helmet too! Safety first! were you on bike/foot?

I work at the King's Cross end so not sure it was there I saw you, may well have been Holborn as I cycled that way the other week to see mates in Cov. Garden
