I bought this as a frame only from Cicli Corsa back in the winter. Fully restored with new chrome, internal cable routing, original wet-transfer decals under clear… immaculate.
When it arrived, the condition of the frame was even nicer in person than the photos, so I really felt the need to take my time building it up. Most of the parts I already had; NOS Campagnolo Record 11 derailleurs, Campagnolo Athena 11 cranks and shifters, Athena “Monoplanar” brakes, Brooks Swift saddle, and a Nitto Craft Quill stem.
Overall, I am super happy with how it came out. My only regret is maybe that it is too clean for a dirty guy like me to daily, but I truly don’t want to stop myself from riding it. More details are over at [PedalRoom](http://www.pedalroom.com/bike/chirico-restomod-30048).

Damn that’s beautiful – and one of the highest-res photos I’ve seen on here lately 🙂 I have but one, tiny critique – the rear axle should be a cm further forward in the dropouts, with dropout screws used. It will position the cogs closer to the derailleur, providing for cleaner shifting of that glorious, gold chain.
