Baron usually has a good stock of Modolo parts.
what kind of frame are you building?
Marty
Thank you for the info on parts, I'll check them out.
I purchased a frame off E-Bay that was made in Belgium at the old Flandria bicycle factory I am told.
It is a Columbus SL with cast lugs & BB with nicely done top tube interior brake cable guide. Campagnolo drop outs on the rear. I purchased a Davidson fork with flat crown since the one sent with it was Taiwan junk and the wrong size. The frame was unpainted and I had Davidson check it out and they commented the brazing was nicely done and the frame appeared to be well made and straight. It has about a 39+ inch wheelbase and fairly steep angles with about a 55 cm seat tube (my size). There are campagnolo braze ons for shifters on the down tube plus braze ons for one bottle and a chain hanger. I am re-using parts off my old Bianchi Campione D'Italia my friend purchased from me 20 years ago. Those parts are still very tight amazingly. You won't find many Japanese parts lasting this long. He wore out two sets of wheels and three freewheels on that bike after I rode it alot. The old 57 cm Bianchi frame will be re-painted eventually and probably sold or I may restore it and buy other parts later for my current project.
I am going to make the new bike look simular to the orange Masi in the 70's movie "Breaking Away" except that I will use a Brooks saddle and will have personalized graphics. I've been getting in shape again on my Recumbent and plan to ride this "classic" on some retro rides in nice weather next spring.
Just re-claiming a little bit of my youth!
