I have a Tesch frame that was built for me in 87 I think--anyhow its still pristine--couple of nicks here and there but other than that looks brand new--
Used to race with it back then(my last days racing) and have ridden it up until the last couple of years.
My dilemma is this--I have mostly Campy parts all the way around 9some super record)--and they are all in really good condition as well---but being a bit older now and having some hills around--and not being in super shape--and having a knee that doesn't like big gears on hills----I was toying with rebuilding it with a triple, index shifting--carbon fork, etc. but then there is the other side of me that says keep it classic--
that part of me says buy a new light bike for workouts--and yet -I would rather ride my frame than a Supergo Scatante (which is probably all I could afford right now.)
Anyone else face this dilemma--guess I'm looking for moral support--knowing that the reality lies within my own little theatre!
