My Daccordi...

Bought this a while ago, it's been a labour of love to get it back to ship shape but took it for a first spin the other night...Lovely!!!

That's beautiful - and welcome to the site!

I like the Italian theme, very nice indeed. Speaking of which, if you decide to upgrade it; Campagnolo parts would suit it very well. What's the frame made out of?

Thanks for the compliment, I love it, It's been a labour of love, just a frame with a stuck bb when I bought it. Had to have it! The tubes are Columbus SLX and the forks are Ishiwata 022. Yeah a nice bit of Campy would be lovley, I had the Shimano 600/105, Mavic and Cinelli parts from another disastrous project and considering my present lack of funds seemed the best (Only) option.

it looks stunning. I love the colour theme as well, v appropriate.

what is it like to ride?

It rides great, I've been on mountain bikes for the last 20 years and then a modern fixed gear for the last year or so...So geared road bike is a bit of a blast from the past for me, the last one i Had was a Raleigh Milk race 10 speed back in the early 80s...Did 28 miles in 90 minutes and topped 45 mph on a downhill the other night, can't wait to get out again...Here's my MTB BTW.
