Thanks - I lucked out when I found the frame about 12 or 13 years ago. I now need a new drive train and I am waiting to scrounge up enough cash for a new Chorus group. I will most likely drop the triple as I don't do my hill work with this bike anymore since I bought the Tarmac - it's about 5lbs lighter. The Columbus SLX tubing on the Simoncini rides like a dream - the natural springyness in the fork/frame is sutble but makes such a big difference on a long ride. The shifting of the campy components is buttery smooth even though they are on thier last legs.
