Great Lakes - Winter build

Ital Tecno out of New York. I bought my last frame from them, the rims in this thread and some other small bits over the years. I suspect they went out of business, the economy is nasty out there. Also, it wasn't the full price, only a deposit and the CC company has already credited my account, it is now their problem.

I tried my LBS but he doesn't carry the brand and didn't want to do a minimum order. Tom at GVH has one coming, didn't even want a deposit. He just wrote my name down and said I have dibs. :thumb::D

Tom/GVH are the best. I had a similar experience buying SRAM stuff from him last summer. Don't even bother with the email, either. Just pick up the phone and give him a buzz.

I had a bad ebay experience with Ital Tecno. They sold me some shoes that were not as listed. Listed NOS when they were clearly used, and with mismatched/missing cleats and hardware.

They gave a full refund after I made some noise, but it was a hassle and it reflected badly on their business practices IMO.

Sounds like Tom at GVH is taking good care of you, so hopefully this is playing out well after all.

Alright, this is the last component and probably the last of anything for a while. The frame may or may not come until March. Damn foreigners, if this frame was made in the US, I would have it, well, in April. :innocent:

Did I let the cat out of the bag about the frame? If not, let's make it interesting. The first correct guess of the frame AND size (I can't make it too easy) will win a six-pack of a fine malted beverage (think Spotted Cow, etc.) to be picked up at any BFNIC organized ride (that I attend :)). So let the guessing commence.



The cranks.

Colnago, 55cm

Incorrect.

Italiano? Should be obvious. :)

Also, I'm going to need a make and model. Colnago, Cinelli, Pinarello, etc. are way too vague. You need to earn that beer people.

Sorry :rolleyes:

Viner T37 Pro Race AIRPLANE CARBON frame. I'd say 54cm.

Pretty, but incorrect. Also, as a hint, it is not listed on Ital Tecno's or GVH's site. And I'm 6 feet tall.

Pretty, but incorrect.

DOH! :twitchy:

58cm Guerciotti Khaybar.

58 cm Surly Karate Monkey?

Bump - Masi 3VC, size 58.

Incorrect, to you and everyone else.

But, I will say there was someone who was very close, just not 100% correct. You people need to earn it.

Guerciotti Genius 58... steel frame?

Whatever it is, it has Italian BB threads.

Incorrect.

I want to trade my English BB cups for Italian to use on my current frame in case I never get the new frame. Since you brought it up, the new frame has a BB30. That should narrow it down a bit.

This is starting to remind me of a certain short play by Beckett.

I am dusting off this oldie because...


the frame is due to arrive on Friday!! w00t!




This is your last chance to guess and win a fine set of malted beverages. Make/model/size needed to win. Hint: You will need sunglasses to gaze upon its magnificence. ;)

So?

I know what it is.....I know what it is..... ;)

Soon ...

Nice ride! Much smoother than the last bike, even with the stiff carbon rims. Even passed a guy, hard to believe. Psimet did an outstanding job tuning the derailleurs. :thumb:

Too late for pics. Maybe tomorrow.

Bravissimo! Quite the looker.:love:

Bravissimo! Quite the looker.:love:

I wouldn know, but I bet you're right. Better than a hooker.

WOW!

Polished stainless steel!

That . . . is . . . HOT!!!

BB30 bottom bracket too!

That's the only BB30 STEEL frameset I'm aware of.

Deep V carbon rims look so wicked. :thumb:

Alas . . . I am not worthy.

It is hotter in person. Keep in mind he hand built the carbon TUBULARS...

I'm not a Campy *****. I'm not much of a retro steel follower either, but this is afine rig. You can't help but do a double take or just to stare at it.

I'm not much of a biphasic stainless steel follower either.

fify.

;):p

NICE ride. Please root for my daughter on her ACT. Otherwise, my money will all be attending college for quite some time. Or... ECC, here she comes, 'cause Daddy needs a new ride. Alas, I love my wife, and kids, so I know THAT ain't gonna happen.

I see you found the cages you were looking for. Overall she is very nice.

OOOOOO EEEEEEE:)

Luscious!

Wow! Very nice!

SWEEETTTT. Very nice....

Sweet bike. Style, grace, speed, and a bag of chips.

The only possible improvement is to flip it.
