If it wasn't that big I could have had a relapse!! Thank the heavens.

 

We did however pick up another Battaglin stray this morning but it is E1A1's for parts!! Frame also a 60cm CTC (too big againsmiley4.gif) so it may appear here soon for sale. Very unusual yellow colour scheme with no chroming bar the driveside chainstay.

Just finished the Battaglin and the only modern goods on it are Conti Gatorskins and Fizik bar tape!!
....after the maiden ride this has now been altered to 3 modern goods. The Rolls saddle will be used for ceremonial duties only!! Hell it gave me a pain in the ar$e!!!

Its not so much the good samaritan/ st Francis / mother Theresa semi pathetic self justification that bothers me.smiley2.gif Its quite admirable, really.

I know I posted a few pics of this a few weeks back...but I thought you guys would enjoy it?!

 

Been riding it, and to be honest I love it. Yes, the gaps between the gearing takes some getting used to, as does the down tube shifting...but its SO cool!

 

C'mon Delgado...we gotta hook up and ride our old school bikes soon dude!!
