Cicli Meacci

UPDATE: Already switched up a few things. Swapped the threadless stem with black Cinelli bars, 1R stem and seatpost. Keeps the black and white theme going well I think. Much more comfortable with a little height on the bars.  Score! I finally found a Basso Fior di Loto. I've been searching for this color variant and model for a while now and this one popped up on Ebay from Brownsville Texas. Super excited to build this up with the Campagnolo parts from the Pegoretti upgrade that's in the works.  From what I have gathered so far, this frame is most likely from  1990. Its a  55cm  Columbus SLX steel frame and fork,  Basso Fior di Loto model in the Caribe colorway. It has a few fandom stickers on it that removed fairly easily and with a little elbow grease. The paint polished up nicely afterward and there are only a few nicks and scratches.  This 1990 Catalogue cut shows the color variants available for this model. I've always been at

Update: I recently came close to selling the frame. It was listed on Ebay for a month and actually got a lowball offer that was close to tempting, but less cash than I ultimately wanted to part with this frame. I just haven't seen this marque very often, so I decided to take it off the market again. Lucky me, a few weeks of self isolation gave me some ideas on what to change. Was tired of the VO bars and decided to shift back to some drops. Love the yellow bar tape to compliment the decal color.  I picked up a Grandis frame off the bike forum. Dont know much about this brand, but it appears to be really nice construction. It was an impulse buy. Had the Flu and needed a pick-me-up. Raided the parts from the Rossin single speed build just for something to do on a rainy cold February weekend.  But that quickly changed. The second build is now  outfitted with a vintage Promax seatpost, 3T quill stem (pantographed Anza, not sure what that means),  Velo Orange Milan bars
