As for hiding the receipts, I hope for your sake the tax return is healthy!

Easier said than done I'm afraid. Here's mine, bought a couple of years ago and no progress since. The red cromovelato is every bit as gorgeous as the blue.Typhoon Ken wrote:Now the best bit begins, sourcing the rest of the bike.
I've found it difficult and hideously expensive to source NOS components that will do it justice...

I like your resolve Typhoon Ken to give it the royal treatment, I think a beautiful frame such as yours deserves the best and Super Record would be perfect.
A fantastic Colnago bike would be lovely but this Chesini will be something special.

Yes I agree that NOS is very expensive and in some cases insanely cost prohibitive, I seen a set of NOS Super Record Brakes and Calipers for $850 US. A point to remember is that it is only NOS while sitting in the box, once fitted and used it is then "used". I'm only just starting the search but there is a fair bit of "Mint" and "Very Good" used parts around and with a little elbow grease and effort these parts will come up as good as new and for a half to a third of the price of NOS. There will still be a few items that I may go new on but I will work around it if I can without sacrificing build quality.
This is addictive as you all know, the thrill of the hunt, the planning, the build itself. No wonder we get in trouble for starting a new project so soon after finishing the last.

Yep - maybe I've been too fussy in my parts hunt, but that lot would have cost more than I paid for the frame.singlespeedscott wrote:Anything can be achieved with a large enough budget

Also you don't mention it but you'll need one of these for the rear derailleur if you don't already have one.

Can you give us a rough budget for this little lot? I'm really impressed you found everything so fast.Typhoon Ken wrote:Now the wait begins, everything has been sourced and is either here or inbound. A mix of about 70% NOS and 30% lightly used. I had Velo Base open in one window while searching in another so I could get it as close to correct as possible. The only thing that is a little younger is the C Record Seat Post. As you will see I have got a bit of a red and white thing going on as well as all Italian. So the parts list goes like this:

This may sound stupid but I haven't got the calculator out yet for total cost, it scares me to do so, kind of what I don't know won't be able to be extracted under torture by the partner. I'll do a quick calc and get back to you.

I can’t wait for the build. Take your time.
Do you plan for it to be a rider?
And never, never, never show the missus the spreadsheet.
