Then the day I was sending it off to be painted, I was at River City Bicycles buying fenders for another bike and while I was admiring the nice collection of bikes they've got hanging from the ceiling, I spotted one exactly like this in pristine condition. The sign claimed it was a 1970 with first generation Super Record components (though that would be from 1974, right?).
So, are you planning to use an early 1970's Campy groupset to build it up? Really nice frame you have there. The paint is immaculate. Makes me want to go to bed with it. Err, did I just say that?
Edit: Just saw this while searching for more Stellas to check out the components on them. The paint scheme looks almost identical to yours:
Fantastic Stella!
Looks like a nice build with period components.
Edit 2: I didn't know the brand and the fact that Louison Bobet rode one in 1953-54. Really cool history this brand has.
