A really nice looking and appointed bike! I would only change the decal or painted name FISHER to blue from black to match the color theme of the bike. I like those foul weather fenders. Very nice too. And, the stem is lovely, reminds me of Litespeed stems from some time ago. Oh and yes, Campy... wonderful!

Thanks, LAJ.
Thanks for the 'hot.' Stowe custom painted the Silca pump and a friend gave me the Campagnolo metal pump head. The pump is on there for show since Silca pumps were prone to breaking if you actually used them.
The seat post is an early 1980s SunTour Superbe Pro model that is a nod to the age of the frame and has (arguably) the best clamp design of all time.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Thank you, rjones28.
Think you've watched Breaking Away one too many times. (Though the Cinzano guy probably did use a Silca pump in that scene.)
Appreciate the kind words.
See my seat post comment above.
BTW, I built this back up with a minimum of new parts. The list of new parts is:
1) Fizik handlebar tape
2) Jagwire Shift cable housing
3) Campagnolo front and rear cable housing (new, but left over from another build)
3) Omni braze-on derailleur adapter clamp
Everything else is used, including tubes (with patches), tires, and cables.

IME, Quarqs are not the most reliable and SRM doesn't have their PC8 available yet. Secondly, using a SRAM crank on a DA bike would be a tragedy. I've used almost every type of powermeter out and I've been completely happy with the Stages; it's extremely light, more than accurate for interval and pacing purposes and it's inexpensive.

Thanks, however, I prefer my King Ti Cages to carbon cages. The cage was better bottle retention, it's easier to reinsert a bottle and they're the same weight as most Arundel or carbon cages. Moreover, the juxtaposition between a carbon race bike and the old school styling is pleasant.

That is true, but (and it's a very large but indeed) sadly, they're ugly. Mix good looking old school with good looking carbon and you are so right. THAT would be hot. However, as everyone else said, the bike is hot. Fortunately, it's degree of hotness outweighs the boat anchors.

Change your stem and spacers to black.
