What are you building today?....

[gomango]

Thanks for the interest in the Sintesi.

I am the third owner of this frameset. A close friend was the original owner and raced it for two seasons back in the 90s. The next owner built it with DA 7700 and rode it twice in ten years. I bought it when he was clearing his garage.

Two years ago I stripped the DA and it has been hanging on a hook till recently. A friend is building it up for me and I usually just finish his builds with tires, cages, bar tape, saddle etc.

I've owned quite a few Tommasinis over the years and they have always been exceptionally nice riding bikes.

This will be a decent winter project. We are making a few changes since this pic with a different wheelset, bars and some Veloflex Masters. 700x25s barely fit!

Nope. And his rear brake, the cable adjuster, it's on super wrong. The adjuster piece is under the arm not on top with the cable stop. BUT, he could just be doing this to avoid it falling out of the arm/brake itself. He has the same for the front so I am betting it's so they won't fall out.

My next projects, not totally sure which is up first: (1) a beat up Bianchi Specialissima for commuting, (2) a De Rosa, or (3) an early Eddy Merckx (De Rosa lugs).

When building it, I only have one rule : everything must come from what!s available in the house, no going to the store to pick up additional junk.

Mission accomplished.

Build time : 1.5 hr

If you are interested, google "DIY E-Motion rollers", tons of step by step instructions out there. I modified to make it work with what I have.
