Just wanted to say hi to the group. I have a Picchio Special that was made for me in May of 1975. It has Campagnolo Nuovo Record (small flange) hubs, seat post, and changes. The crank is a TA 3 spoke (pro 3 model, I think) with two chain wheel (howeve, the frame was made to accomodate three). The chain and rear cluster are from Regina and the handlebar is from 3T (it has the Olympic rings on it). The brakes are Universal Super 68s and the headset is also from universal (not marked, but that is what I was told by the bikeman that put it together for me). It is great fun to ride.

At some point, I would like to touch up the paint and get it looking newer again. It doesn't have a high gloss finish, but I would like to know if any of them did.
