Another unexpected purchase,the Fausto Coppi Lugano 53 in Columbus Genius
Good morning everyone
An expected purchase at the right price ,James Dak is partially to blame for this (laughs and just kidding ). A 1995 Fausto Coppi Lugano 53 in Columbus Genius, manufactured by Masciaghi in the mid 1990s. Fillet-brazed frame. Internal brake cable routing along the top tube. Provision for two water bottles. Tecnociclo rear drop outs. Chrome fork crown, right chain stay, drop outs and braze-on for the front derailleur. Some paint chips Super tight geometry for fast and confident cornering and responsive handling. I wanted one of those back in the day,saw one in dark blue and bought it. I don't know if the fork is threadless or not, so things that will need to be bought will be a headset, then an italian bottom bracket,a fausto coppi seatpost and the transmission will be of course DA 7800 so will be the brakes, wheels I have a set for it and tires will be Continental.Saddle, I haven't chosen yet,stem will be the ITM Goccia and bar ITM Supertraining Europa and pedals will be Look.
So now place for pics:
