Yep instead of spending all that dough on a lighter than air bike I lost 33 lbs myself and the bike draws more compliments than Angelina Jolie in a tight leather suit ( well maybe not that many) but a lot Mine too was a fun project it started out in as bad as shape as you can imaginge which is why it was so cheap. Oh yeah no Campy parts on it either. Not that there's anything wrong with that
