I had this frame in the Retro Classic Road section along with another I was trying to identify. The other which never got identified (identity attempt thread here) became the paint your wagon special (painting thread here).
This one I think we got a little closer on identifying (identity attempt thread here) but still no joy so as I'm waiting on decals to move other projects forward I thought I'd start a build thread for it anyway.
My learned friend Mr Peachy suggested an Italian Tricolour scheme which I did like the sound of and was leaning toward (I had all the paint except the primer) but disaster struck and the white primer I bought especially for it reacted badly with the grey primer coat I'd already put on it and that put paid to that, so blue it's going to be.
There will be some Italian flourishes on it I'm sure and I have a Campag group to go on it but thus far blue with chrome forks it will be and I'm thinking of lug lining it in gold and picking out the lug cut outs in gold as well.
