Hi!
been out of cycling for a few years now, but recently found a bike at the thrift store and am finding myself becoming obsessed again. $20 Columbus steel with campy hanging on it will do that to a person.

Get 10 posts and put up some pictures.
Just say hello (politely) to 10 people, that suffices.
in the C&V section there is everything from the $100 Clunker Build Competition, or threads showing museum quality classics.
it can be fun. Just don’t take everyone’s comments seriously.

I’m not quite sure what the bike is... I know it’s a Miele because of the pantograph on the seat stays. I know it’s a racing frame because of the Columbus dropouts without eyelets. All the decals have been a stripped and it was repainted, probably the time someone added a carbon fork with a 1” threaded steerer, campy mirage group, and Mavic rims laced to campy hubs. Has a 600 tricolor headset and Superbe Pro seatpost and front derailer. Seatpost is 27.2. I’ve since added a Velo orange saddle, Zaffiro pro slick tires, bar tap and some early 90s deore lx pedals so I can ride in whatever I’m wearing. It rides like a dream.
