It might be the best riding frame in the world, I don't know. But I think it is mighty ugly, so I wouldn't buy it.

That's why they dont paint all bikes green.

I think its really great looking.

I am gonna outfit this rig and my Peg BLE with Campy Record-Chorus mix. Since I have so many Shimano splined freewheel wheelsets, I am going to do the "spacer" route that Ergott said will work perfectly well.

Thanks for the offer and thanks for the front derauiller!

Actually, in doing more research...what you need to do is use a Shimano to Campy conversion cassette.

Its all about the "spacing".

Steve,
I would have done exactly the same! It is no contest.
Let us know how it rides. I feel you are going to love it.

George,

You are a gentleman and a scholar!

If anyone has doubts doing buisness with George (Gothard) dont! He is great!
