Very proud of this one. This is a freecycles frame and fork also. Rear wheel came from freecycles too. Sometime after this picture was taken I got a matching front wheel. Wheelset is Miche hubs with Ambrosio Extra 19 rims. Nice vintage Italian wheelset. I've always loved the way this bike feels. To me it's a classic chrome-molybdenum steel feel. Frame is a 58cm, so it could be a notch or two bigger to be perfect. Right now I feel like this bike will always be as it is. It represents my first build that I love and was a true successful build. Good looking too.
