I originally posted this thread just a short time before the crash and it seems to have been a casualty. Here's what I had to say then. The Sunday before last, Antonio and Mauro Mondonico were in Santa Clara, CA, to measure people for custom frames. I got measured and ordered a black Futura Leggero with a Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork. I won't get the frame until Spring 2004. But that's OK, because by then the 2004 Campy Chorus triples will be in the shops and I can get my bike built with that gruppo. The pic below is of the EL-OS, but you get a good idea of what my new bike will be like. One question: should I have them chrome the lugs or will that make it look like a Merlin Cielo wannabe?

One more detail, it is made of fully lugged Columbus 747 steel tubing.
