I really love the unusual fork paint treatment besides the usual Drillium Dude attention to detail.
Did Columbus make many of these recessed-brake-housing-relieved top tubes? I think that only the Italians would dream this up. Am I wrong?
ps that Zeus fw just needs some attention with a good pin vise and change out of shims, imho. Not too challenging.
Thank you - and yes, I do think the fork paint treatment is pretty cool and unique as well. It's certainly different. As far as the tubing, I think Somec would've done the recess job themselves (or contracted it out); don't think Columbus made any that way.
I'm limited in doing the freewheel myself due to lack of tools (not to mention experience or - whisper it - skillz), but I think it will be in good hands with the good Pastor if he can tackle it. I sure hope so
