That is the frame that I almost bought Dan! I would have been so happy too.Dan wrote:Nice build DavidI! It's almost exactly what I would have built, down to the wheels - saddle would have been a Concor though. I've heard they ride wonderfully - looking forward to hearing your opinion.
Jealous? I am indeed.

Thanks, it is indeed beautiful. I saw some similar listing in eBay, they look similar to what you have.ldrcycles wrote:Mustang made it for me, beautiful leatherwork with a gorgeous aroma to it, and it has a little gold plaque with my dad's initials on it, I presented it to him for his 66th birthday.

Not too bad for that look, imo. I guess I need to sell more stuff around to fund my on going retro project,kman wrote: About $1600 which a bulk came from groupset and wheels. I had to sell my daily commuter and one MTB to fund this project

Your Paconi really is the 'ants pants'. Fantastic components. It really is a top-end bike. I've never had a Paconi and I'm the poorer for it.Wingnut wrote:Thanks...I do like the blue...I've had a few Paconi's over the years that have had re-paints and blue one's usually look nice.
