Thought you'd like to see work in progress on this project.
Vanni Pettenella was the last Italian to win a gold in the cycling track event 64 Toyko Olympics following a 21 minute track stand on the banking...he still holds the record for the lingest ever track stand in the worlds of 65 minutes, where his component passed out in the heat and slid off the banking...
In retirement he set up a frame shop in Milan and this is one of his creations, very light with a lovely bright 'ting' from the top tube. Vanni died in 2010.
I received it in a bad state and have been working on mostly cosmetics. I have a Gian Robert very lightweight rear mech but need a mounting bolt ( The existing mech was lunched in transit ). Fortuneately the muck and grime had protected the brightwork beneath ( see pics )
Hope you like
