Alright, I picked up the Bottacchia last night and fiddled around with it today. Still need to decide, fixed or s/s. For some reason I'm leaning towards a 2 ring 2 cog 's/s' setup. What I need first though is to figure out a way to get the seatpost out. It's tighter than Rush Limbaughs grip on Qualudes. Also, what are decent (read cheap but durable) 700 rims? I think I am going to keep the hubs that came with the wheels, but not the lovely steel rims. I like the wingnuts.



Edit: Oh bad photo, couldn't find the camera, had to use the cellphone one.
