I just tacked down a good winter project. This will be my new summer training bike once I get it built up. If you know of any parts that would like to find a new home on a 1980's Colnago, just let me know. ;-)
I also have a spare front wheel that I never plan on using. It's not the best quality, but it's the right price, being that it's free.
I also have downtube friction shifters. At one point, I had a dream of building up a bike just like your project, but I never got around to it.
Lastly, I have other spare parts that are for sale. You and Brady can bid over who gets the Cane Creek brake levers. I also have a right hand/rear shift Tiagra 9 speed brifter for sale.
Or you could go crazy and buy some of my Dura-Ace 10 speed parts that are for sale. I'm mixing groups to come up with my ideal setup. It's a continuous work in progress of course.
Thanks Brady. I'm looking forward to getting it road ready.
Munson... I'll keep you posted. I might hit you up on some of those parts. I still have to decide if I'm going to go new or old school with the components. I'm not sure I can affor Dura-Ace stuff though.
Scott... yup, this is a lugged frame. I kind of like the look of the older bikes. They just seem to have more visual appeal.

Very nice, Bob! Looking forward to seeing it out on the road.
I might have a seatpost binder. Maybe.

Email me about any of this if you like.
Is that what you call a lugged frame? Kinda adds a touch of class. Have fun with the project. My winter project was laying tile in a bathroom. :)
