I am accustomed to restoring 70's and 80's Italian road bikes. So this is my first attempt at a fixie. I bought the frame and fork on Ebay for , and had it repainted to it's original colour, and with the help of my friend Greg of Cyclomondo, also put it's original decals back on (still need to put the head tube decal on)This will be a daily rider, hence why I didn't use my campy wheelset. Love it!
