The bike has a whole new drive train due to the rear wheel being pinched along with the seat post and bean bag like saddle my older son fitted! The only reason i kept it was because i already had a pair of unused wheel from another bike [98 GT], still had to replace the 9 speed cassette with a...

Hi All Brought this back from a recent trip to Italy, about three years old and used in minor competitions but in good order. John

According to the serial# stamped under the bottom bracket its a 1990 bike. Bought it new in 94 at a decent discount from a shop in Italy while on vacation so its possible that the paint job was specific for that market. The frame is in need of restoration but how do i better that colour...
