Nice. I recently had a very helpful forum member facilitate this for me, a '93 Nuovo Classico. The Ultegra looks a little out of place but it shifts perfectly so it will stay for now. The stem/bars have to go, I am sure something will come up on CL one of these days.
The blue is incredible in person, it is a Waterford re-paint and seems to have a base layer of a white pearl that comes through in the sunlight. I will put a little white paint into the pantographs on the fork and seat stays once I find a good match.

TSX?
I have a Nuovo Classico frameset coming in the spring from Germany.
It has to be a team repaint, but is badged EL-OS.
It has the buttresses on the BB like a Primato.
As for Ultegra, it'll probably run quite well until you get the itch for an upgrade.
I haven't bothered changing the DA off of my Professional either.

They are good tires. These seem to run a bit big. I got mine from nashbar for like $12 or 14 each.

do you have calipers or something you can measure the cross section and height with? i didnt think 35s would cause an issue but your fork clearance looks tight.

Here's my built-up FrankenSchwinn (haven't been able to figure out the model, and the year is either '85 or '75) with a freehub, Origin8 seat, and Soma track handlebars.

vouch for the model number. Rims are the original 27's. I'm using a Campy Rally rear
changer- put the old Gran Turismo into a box in the garage.....where it belongs.

My only excuse for posting another picture of the Sabatini is because I put on some "new" wheels that have Mavic Record Du Monde De L'heure gold rims and a new 13-21 Regina Oro freewheel. The tubs are Vittoria Competition Rallys and I will assume they might be a bit nicer riding than the Yellow Jersey tubulars that are on the original wheels.
