Have a look at this marvelous paintjob of my new Daccordi
Here it is. My latest acquisition.
An old Daccordi in nos condition. If you have read my other thread you know I had
the choice between 3 different Daccordis frames in different colors.
Finally I decided to choose this one. Why? Because I was fallen for the Paintjob and
the lots of chrome.
This one has Columbus SLX Tubes and is Shimano 600 equiped.
Seat Tube is a Zeus and Seat a nice Turbo in brown.
Handlebar and Stem both are 3TTT and the Rims are Mavic MA2 700C.
Since I haven`t found matching pedals yet I made the pictures without.
For the rest I will let the pictures speak.
Hope you like it! Would be gratefull if you told me what you think about this bike!

Delicious. Love the paint color. If it rides at least as good as it looks and there is no reason to think otherwise you made a great choice.

Nice paintjob always good to see bikes when the finish on them is this fresh!
About the BB though, I always wondered ho one might be able to preserve the finish at the cable guide grooves. I noticed that in most bikes with this BB cable guide set up (ones without a plastic guide doohickey) the paint really starts to suffer where the shifter cables eventually rubs/grinds the paint off, then rust might start. Can you cut some brake cable casing plastic or teflon(?) liner tubes (hopefully some clear ones) and put short sections on the cables at the grooves. It might be flexible enough so as it does not affect shifting performance......just an idea.

Beautiful bike, and great photography too. Good idea documenting what it looks like before the inevitable scratches and wear start to appear (you will be riding the hell out of it I trust??
It would be interesting to see if you could get some bar tape to match the saddle.

Thank you all for the comments.
I was hoping I wouldn`t be the only one who likes this bike!
I`m so happy to have picked this one. In the shop where it was hanging in a back room with bad light the color didn`t come out truly.
Once I got home I was sure to have made the right choice.
Bianchigirl-> When I was taking the pictures I first noticed the dropouts and was so impressed by them. It`s a nice detail to have this paintjob on the dropout sides and the rest to be chromed.
This shows how much effort they put in a daccordi bike.
And yes, it is new, nos, never riden or used. ( if you don`t count the 1km by me before taking the pictures )
-> Mercator: good idea. I will see what I can make, but I am convinced a brown bar tape would improve the the look of that bike.
I think I will keep it to 6. That`s enouth for a real man
If anyone has an idea where I could get the matching pedals pls let me know.

Well, if you're going to get all perfectionist and match the tape to the saddle, you might also consider a polished stem as well.

I'd love to ride that bike. I enjoy SLX framed bikes, in fact my favorite riding bike is a De Rosa using this frame material.
Some very nice frame details as well, and I'm sure the 600 gruppo will perform admirably.
All three of the bikes in your other post were very nice.
I congratulate you on your decision.
