Yayyy the Super Corsa lives!
I just finished building it an hour ago (had to test ride before I took pictures 
)
Patent 80 Campy NR drive train, Strada cranks, and Araya wheels (I have some Campy hubs, they are going to get built up with some Nisi rims that I have in transit) bars are Atax, the stem is unmarked. Brakes are also Campy.
The ride is stellar and fits me much better than anticipated. 57cm/58 but rides like a 55-56cm due to the low bottom bracket.

Just need to sort out the shifters, and put a bigger cluster in the back. The right shifter won't get adequate tension, and I definitely need lower gears .
M Keller I am not sure what style the house is, but it was built ~1920

Great job, toytech! I absolutely love that color.
I have a bungalow built in 1920 as well.

Very nice work toytech, I really like it! At the risk of sounding overly critical, the bike will look much better against a less distracting backdrop.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
Somewhat newer than my Super Corsa, but the Gitane/531 mojo must be there.
Greg Sofley will likely have a proper set of graphics for you:

The set he sent for my 70/71 bike are awesome.

Well...I guess I kind of steered the thread off course.

PS_ Possibly a little off-topic, but for those of you who are interested in Architectural styles, About.com has some very informative pages.
