The sellers dad's bike which had a racing triple on it, stripped and sold to me.
I decided to modernise it, give it some nice wheels and decent parts just to see how it rides
Chorus headset
Veloce gruppo 10s
Toupe Saddle
Athena seatpost
Cinelli 1a stem
ITM 225 bars
Zipp tape
Mavic Kysrium SL wheels
Elite Ciussi Cages
weighs a flat 10 with all accessories as pictured.
Out the box:
Final:
now just needs to be ridden

I nearly bought that one when it came up, just on a whim. Nice size. Nice looker. I couldn't get the Ksyrium's off mine fast enough, but they match the red a whole lot better than mine did. Should be a great ride.

Jim, unfortunately, that was EXACTLY how it came. I was shocked to say the least but the frame was beautiful.

1982 Chesini X-UNO

From the above images you can tell it is definitely a Chesini X-UNO. I have not been able to trace the ownership of the frame but I believe it came from the states. The colours and line marking are as per original except I changed from yellow to blue on the head lug to match the original C-Delta brake that I found in Poland. On Saturday I headed of on my normal morning ride only to break the Maillard cassette on the first hill. The cassette came with the wheels from the UK and looked OK however the second gear in from the frame split so I lost the two top gears. Not to be dounted, I removed the offending gears and continued, completing 72 klms by the end of the weekend with only 8 gears. Does anyone have a Maillard Course French 80 cassette?

The frame as I bought.

Looks nice Munga.munga wrote:had this for sale as a frameset, but no interest, so i've started building it up for sale as a complete bicycle.
You do know you will lose money on it though. Every complete bike that i have sold on eBay has gone for less than I would of got for it by splitting.

Interesing - someone bought an almost complete bike in the marketplace on these forums, added a saddle & a pair of wheels & sold it on ebay for more than double the price. Funnily enough more than half his posts are in the market place.singlespeedscott wrote:You do know you will lose money on it though.
