Before the first lockdown I came across this particular frame which was a barn find and couldn't let go so easily. In 1986 Luiggi Daccordi celebrate his 50th anniversary as a framebuilder with an Limited Edition of frames.Only 2000 where produced and mine was frame Nr 1700.This I thought needs to have a special treat so I decided to built it with a 1st gen of campagnolo c record which would be gold plated. So the project began.Parts where collected piece by piece found on the way some retrofriction rare shifters and when all gathered together i dismantled them cleaned buffed and 14k gold plated.For my luck i came across some nos 50th Campagnolo gold rims so i said what the heck put it also to work and so i did and laced them up to a c record nos hub set with dot Swiss spokes.As a total the results justifies my work and was absolutely astonishing.Enjoy as i will!!!

Hello many thanks for your good words.Approximately it depends for 100-160 Euro and say depends i mean regarding the number of pieces to be Gold plated.For the wheelset i will go to a nice pair of CXP30 mavic laced to DA 7400 hubs which are already in the way.I didnāt want to go full for the headset the lettering its not engraved like Campagnoloās

Finally my frame restored and groupset has been finished and partialy gold plated. It was very challenging as shimano consist of tiny multiple pieces it not so easy as campagnolo to take out and put it back together. After lot of hours I have put it to its original state fully functioning. At least the result justifies my work

Hello from Greece, still working on several projects thanks to the lockdown () I found my self another one which needed desperately my need. It was a Miyata century a Japanese carbon aluminium frame with gold plating lugs celebrating the 100th years of the Miyata company. Only 100 frames were made and I couldn't resist
The bike was missing several stickers, some bits and chips of paint missing so I will manage to replicate and restore. as close as possible adding just for the luxury a DA 7400 which I will buff and partially gold plated it. -
