The "synthesis" between beauty and effectiveness

It was 2011, crazy times

Hmm, 2011, there were some good deals to be found.

Although nothing like 2020. During the pandemic, people even put the first Tulio Campagnolo cycling shorts on sale.

These are very high quality frames with beautiful anodising. Unfortunately too small for me so mine was sold on many moons ago. Yours is the only other blue one I've seen so far.

These are really good anodized finishes. It's incredible because usually that blue anodized finish is barely noticeable after a few months, but here it's been over 30 years and it still looks beautiful.
And the black is incredible, although I imagine it's because the aluminum tube's wall thickness allows for higher micron anodizing.

It's a shame you don't have it anymore, it's a beauty and the Suntour is always a nice touch.

Here we are ...

Thanks to Dr. Zocchi, I've been able to finish the Sintesi with small details that make it even more beautiful.

The Marzocchi decals are certainly very good and look phenomenal. Now the fork looks much better!

The stem he supplied is a detail I really appreciate; it's the authentic color. The previous one was somewhat dark, a more intense blue.
With your permission, I've put some Sintesi decals on it, just like the originals.

Oh! And like I told you, the next time you saw her, she wouldn't have the bellows on her fork anymore.

I also took the opportunity to replace the Magura brake calipers, replacing the original black ones with blue anodized Acor ones.
I like how it looks.
I also got some blue anodized Shogun handlebar end plugs... it's a bit of a silly detail, but I like it on this bike.
