Here's what I got last night, in very semi-finished state but you can get an idea (please, no 5 bar gate comments as I will be unable to come up with a suitably witty rtiposte and so may just sulk).
It's a Columbus SLX frame that is badged Saronni (I understand they were effectively budget Colnagos when Saronni wanted to cash in on his Goodwood Worlds success). It's been resprayed (plus a new b/b fitted and mudguard eyelets, very practical) and the condition is fantastic.
Heretically I intend to build it up with Dura Ace 8, although I think that is the last stylish Shimano road group with nods to classic Campag plus I'm going downtube shofters and aero levers for a suitably period feel. The other point is that it uses the stuff off my Merckx (still available and smaller than this beauty, hence my change) so keeps the cost down - it's crying out for Super Record, maybe one day.
