Coalfield
Finally riding a big boys bike
This bike was acquired from the original owner who kept it in storage for many years before deciding to sell.
All I have changed from original are the seatpin/clamp, rear derailleur. New hoods from Rustines, Benotto vinyl bar wrap, and back to a leather saddle and tubular wheels.
The Giro 'd Italia model used the same frameset as top level Professional with lesser components. Columbus SP tubing, Campagnolo derailleurs/shifters, Nervar crankset, Universal brakes/levers, Carnielli stem (faux lugged).
edit = On first, short ride, after wheels swapped & saddle+stem height adjust (bad freewheel, meant wheel swap was fastest way for check ride)
After refurbishment
Since most of my acquisitions are framesets, this one was mostly a clean and lube with minimal substitutions.
Will update later with a couple of more pics. After today's ride........
