Here's my Pelizzoli Corsa GP.
Handmade by Giovanni Pelizzoli of Ciocc fame in italy.

-Columbus SL frame
-ITM competizione handlebar and stem
-shimano 600 tricolor groupset (except for the FD, that's an old campy, since mine didn't fit).
-Mavic Ksyrium wheels.


The bike is not done yet, i've just put parts from my old bike on this one when i got it, so i can ride it, but i want to build it nicer and more italian. Currently researching my options, going for something between classic look and modern functionality.

I'm fairly new to this nice forum, where could i post a thread and get some opinions on that?
thank you!

Nice frameset!

Nothing wrong at all riding that nice bicycle the way it sits.

Start saving your pennies for an Athena 11 speed gruppo.

Alternate idea is to start shopping for a used 10 speed Chorus gruppo.

They are out there from time to time.

...and usually value priced.

I think the various incarnations of Colnago C40 have to be future classics. such an iconic, winning bike. Some unique paint schemes over the years too!

Not so classic, however for Modern Steel, Independent Fabrication is very nice.

Niner SIR 9 - all the modern cool stuff (disk brakes, 29" wheels, tapered steering column, 142x12 rear axle spacing, BioCentric bottom bracket, and made out of 853 dzb and Reynolds 631 tubing). I think this will be my next mountain bike.

That's an excellent choice.

I'm looking at a Niner as well, the Air 9 RDO in black.

Trying to decide on the 4 star or 5 star model.
