thank you onespeedbiker for the link to the earlier thread. ;^D

in looking at the photos there it appears chainset is an OMG rather than an Agrati.

wrt to "an italian frame with a Thompson chainset" this came up recently in the discussion regarding the K-Mart Chiorda frame. perhaps this is what you were thinking of...

a tip for Ancient Mariner:

have seen two or three of these bicycles with a broken right hand dropout. they fail at the back of the axle slot. prior to building up the bike it might be wise to check the tab alignment with a tool such as the Campag http://www.excelsports.com/main.asp?...jor=6&minor=17

and the dropout alignment at the same time.

certainly not worth purchase of an expensive tool just for this one use. perhaps it might be worth a trip to the local bike shop.

checking and setting the tab and dropout alignment is no guarantee against a dropout failure but it might improve the odds a bit...

the gold colour still showing on your frame matches some of the photos that have been posted on the forum of complete examples in original finish. iirc RandyJ has posted some of these.

the low shell on these machines gives them a nice "roll." set up a friend with one years ago and he was pleased with it.

best wishes with your bike!
