I started taking apart my Faggin yesterday. It sort of becomes an archeology expedition. I probably won't send this out for painting until after christmas, I'll dispose of some of the components with my goal to end up with a totally Nouvo Record bike. Lots of photos.


This is the way I recieved it, complete with the original silca pump.



Modolo levers, I actually preferred these back in the mid-80s, the hoods are rotting away as good rubber will after 20 years and a lot of miles in California sun:



The brakes are late-eighties chorus that came off a Colnago of mine that met an untimely end, lots of engraving all over this frame, sort of remarkable now what you could get in a frame for less than $300 in the mid eighties:



Cinelli bars (criterium bends) and stem, these look almost like new:



more later.
