The Casati rides again!
...almost.
New plans for the build include Simplex Retrofriction shifters, Specialites TA track pedals, and Campy Record hubs to Omega Strada Hardox rims. A repaint will be in order, but not for a little while. Gears, here I come again!

A radical amputation, eh? Will you install the new headtube?

No, my friend Josh Muir of Frances Cycles (he was the one with the great cable-steer cargo bike at NAHBS) is doing all the work. He also gets photo credit.

Update: Josh had to replace the top head lug with a Prugnat (I think). Looks fine, but I need to figure out what to do with that window...
Full build will be done by next weekend when I'm back in Santa Cruz.

cyclotoine - I'd like to re-paint it the purple that it was when it came to me, but I found a set of orange decals and may change my mind if I get them. For now, she'll be naked steel.
tricky - Definitely nice to have this bike (almost) back on the team.
Wotan - It turns out there was a slight crack when I bought it (not sure what caused that) that was too small to really notice as a crack. As I rode it (I did a lot with this bike, including some singletrack...oops), it just spread.
