My submission for #3, Restoration. 1939 Paglianti

This came to me as an original frame, BB, cranks, headset and hub shells. My best guess based on the dropouts is that is was made sometime from 1934 to 1939. I built as a 1939 as the bits and bobs need for a pre-1939 build are nearly impossible to get.

Redid the nickel plating. I made the decal artwork from a headbadge and some ads I found online. SSSInk made the varnish slide decals that I applied. Second generation, fifth version, made from 1938-1940 Campagnolo cambio corsa derailleur.Stem and bars are Ambrosio, stamped 1939. Universal mod 39 levers and calipers. Ambrosio rims with Stella spokes laced to the Paglianti FB hubs. FMB Paris Roubaix tubulars. Paglianti FB crank and prewar Sheffield Super pedals. Super-Rosa Calolziocorte saddle.
