Now if that bike frame was made in Italy I'd say you should without haste get it boxed up and send it to me ( I will pay for the shipping) and get yourself one of the fanciest new rides coming out of China manufactured in a state of the art sterile environment where robots did most of the work, because there is nothing better than a souless machine made from an unobtanium alloy that nobody can pronounce outfitted with components so high tech that you have to take it to an authorized factory trained mechanic to get it serviced. Then after the high of a new bike wears off you can go get an old gaspipe Schwinn to get the feeling of being connected to the reason we ride in the first place for FUN. PS. This post written with tongue semi firmly planted in cheek

Thats a beautiful bike ride the snot out of it and like most posters here I say don't worry about what the so called experts are saying
