I totally understand. Been looking for one for a while. Hopefully when I find one it will be attached to a colnago frame.

Martyr,
We probably have the same tubing, made by Dedacci (sp?) I just translated the frame sticker using babblefish. Here is what it says. "chassis constructed with special tubes heat treatment slightly to high resistance guaranteed." I wonder what that means? I'll take high resistance please.
The adjustable plates help, but I don't think there is really enough movement to do a proper job. You can see in the photo that my chain is loose. So an ENO or SI hub may be in my future.
I couldn't decide what would be the ultimate hub/wheel set up. So, I got the base model of IRO wheels with 130mm spacing. They are pretty nice and I've heard a lot of positive testimonial on this forum. I should tell everyone that I ordered a cog and lock ring from IRO also and they installed it for me without being asked. I thought that was very nice. (even though I wanted to do it myself *pout*) And shipping was fast too.
Check out this bike.
Thanks,
