Match the saddle
thats the rule
the halos will loose the 25% of their "darkness" in a month or so, depending the sunlight that
will be exposed. I will choose cinelli.
Try lizard skins, they are at least 2 stops darker (in photo terms) but they
are so comfortable and anti slip.if rubber pista grips are acceptable will be a good choice.
(probably two in each side) -
The frame is indeed a bit too large, unfortunately.
But took a long time, until I found a track frame, so I´ll bear with it.
Can increase saddle height a bit or bring the bar down ...Just line up your knee cup with the pedal axle when its at 3 o clock,
everything else to most comfortable, your not gone run a criterium r u?
its a beautiful bike -
You mean the saddle should be higher?
According to your handlebar height it should be an inch or half higher
but if your fitting is accurate in those photos i think that is the frame
that is one or two sizes bigger.
Don't think about it any more, perfectionism talking from a guy that
rides 58 instead of 56...
enjoy your bike and post a closer photo. -

Is powder coating a chainring a good idea?
Seems like it would just damage the chain and put paint chips all over your drivetrain.
I have no experience with one though so I'm probably talking out of ass.I recently powder coat a new chain ring, i was tell the shop for the lightest coat that they can.
The result was a nice very thin coat, that preserves those laser (?) engravings that shows number
of teeth etc.Use it as hard as i could it starts to loose very small amount of paint at the edges of teeth,
without causing any major problem in chain but you could see that need cleaning.
The friend that rides it tell me that it starts to loose bigger chips of paint from
the inner section of teeth after 200km and wash the chain 2 times in a week.
No other complains except that i spent 1 hour cleaning the bolt holes when i installed it. -
You should read something engraved at the back drops that it will show more about the origin.
(gippiemme, columbus, campagnolo? )
Usually at the fork drops you should read the maker of the tube set.
The lugs look like columbus, the BB shell and fork too.
The bridge at the chain stays looks good leaving the rear brake bridge the only part
of your bike that you could say "not expensive"...
The stem looks like a cinelli, and the parts campagnolo.
(with the minimum usage)
I think that your dad has a good taste and you are lucky enough to enjoy it!
(please don't rush the next time that you gonna take some photos)give more (steady) pictures

I knew about them, now i 'm at 90% of completing my training bike, veloce, straight tusk fork etc...
i was buy it cause they claimed that it has columbus tubes and for its geometry specs.i was already having some km with a friends ck3 and i really like the ride, i could easily
say that its very close to tommasini zonal builds.if it doesn't satisfy my needs i will check my options for a custom columbus steel, but
i can't see any reason yet.Its appearance was a problem for me and thats why i decide to rip off the (excellent)
powder coating (~250gr) and paint it with some quality (~140gr). -

Readers wife, girlfriend, grandma? no?
unfortunately not, i just take it for a ride trying to observe the differences of SLX with my plain columbus tubeset
That Fidusa is proper turd. Look at the clearances, if you can even call them that. They should be ashamed!
i feel the same about their logo, the clearances doesn't bother me cause its
a matter of how you order it.
has a very nice and durable paintwork and the saddle with the bumpers is almost
pretty and useful enough -

Pink is a light red (warm colors both that raises intensity)
very common "tool" in cases that you need a permanent loss of energy.
When you raise girls for example, you need it to restrict the intense
that has as a normal kid and help her build and express a sweet girlie character.
To us it work as a camouflaged red, we don't recognize it as a red and take our precautions
while it's working slyly taking small amounts of energy and make us inactive and vulnerable.
Most healthy women like pink unconsciously upholding their character, that doesn't mean
that they can paint pink the whole bloody planet of course.
