I wanted to build up an old Italian road bike around an all modern gruppo just to see what it would be like. I also wanted to do do the whole thing for under a grand. I purchased nearly all the parts as new, or new old stock. The only things that were not new were the frame and front hub, both of which were restored. While I did go over my budget by a couple hundred dollars, I am genuinely pleased with the outcome of my project. The bike is quick, responsive and really a joy to ride. I am not sure if I prefer it to my vintage bikes, but I don't dislike it by any means.
