Not quite in the post !
Guys,
as the title suggests, I collected this today from a lovely chap (thanks Ted) who lives near Beverley in East Yorkshire. He built in new from a frameset about a decade ago, and hardly ridden due to illness and I was given the opportunity to purchase it. Fillet brazed from a 525 tubeset by a very well regarded builder, (Dave Yates) with a lovely Brookes Pro saddle, Ofmega Alpine triple c/set and a mix of components - inc Shimano.
Needs a good clean, service, bar tape and a little personalisation.
Thanks for looking.
John.

My airbrush kit. Too late to start learning tonight, but I'm inspired by realsteel's touchup prowess and am looking forward to giving it a go.

I actually bought this tonight from a 40 y/o bike shop going out of business. Just shop wear from what I can see. Here it is mounted to my Centurion Le Mans 12 - It coordinates well with the Rustines rubber grips!

I got a pair of Shimano FC-B124 crank arms in the mail today that I bought on eBay. I didn't realize until the package arrived that the seller was @johnnyace. I believe these were take-offs from the Voyageur he's restoring.
Thanks, John, for properly disposing of the BioPace rings before posting this for sale. Now I can put some proper rings on it without adding to my crap pile.

Yes, those were from the Voyageur, and the Biopace chainrings were properly disposed of.

Full thread in the near future but here are a couple of teasers. It is an "aero" frame (although I don't really think it is any more aerodynamic than a regular frame). It has extensively crimped tubing. This is a restoration but it does use original decals from Picchio.
Beautiful. What's the build sheet looking like?

I received the 3ttt stem bolt and yellow small-diameter brake housing for the Medici from @qcpmsame today. This means I can finish building the bike up tomorrow (I'm beat after today's ride) and get some pics. Maiden ride looks like it may have to wait for Saturday as we're expecting rain tomorrow.
Thanks, Bill!

Kucharick wool jersey. Got it last weekend actually. Just like always. The only change is the zipper is slightly longer, which is good. Sizing is generous. Last time I bought one they were still using Italian sizing (I, II, III, IV, etc) I went by the size guide and got an XL. It has a comfortable tourist fit. I seem to be in between sizes, or I could be a little skinny these days. Perhaps I'll get an orange or red in L as well. That would be race fit, for going fast.

Avocet Touring II Saddle by@BlueDevil63 Very nice looking Piccio, I've not seen tubes with that unusual "crimped" cross section before now. That frame looks like it is totally unused/unbuilt. I'm looking forward to reading the build thread, if you choose to post one.

my name is Jim
I see three ways to go with this. It is an early-mid 80s frame. I could go last gen Super Record. I have a set of last gen cranks (the ones without the flutes in the arms), appropriate date code (or no date code) derailleurs and script logo brakes. Or I could go first gen C-Record. Or I could go Dura Ace AX which is what this frame was build up with before I bought it. But the Dura Ace AX stuff is hard to find. I have the last gen Super Record stuff so that is probably what it will get. Having some trouble finding all the right parts to top mount the shifters.

Actually yesterday, through Sunday USPS delivery surprisingly, the new Friel Cyclist Training Diary. This will be the 6th edition for me, began tracking things when my kidneys failed to Stage 3B, so that my weight, blood pressure and resting heart rate on a daily basis for my doctors' reference. Got to be a regular part of my routine that just stuck with me. Doctors have all expressed their appreciation for providing them with a picture of my vitals, as well as everything I eat.
