Hello everyone. I'm new to the group, and I'm starting the daunting task (for me) of restoring/building-up a 1974 Colnago Super frame that I acquired at this year's Cirque. Odd as it may seem, I was fortunate enough to "test ride" the same year bike at Saturday's ride thanks to the kindness of a fellow enthusiast (Doug from Alabama). Moreover, I had the opportunity to take lots of detailed pictures after the event of his wonderful green Colnago, which I hope will guide me in choosing the right vintage parts. In addition, I'd like to thank all the people I met at the Cirque who gave me their advice on how to best tackle the project. A special thanks goes to Brian Baylis, who was more than happy to drop everything for a complete stranger to come evaluate the Colnago frame that was for sale. I have to admit that I have really enjoyed looking at all the older bikes at the three Cirques that I have attended so far, but it is the people that I meet there that keeps me coming back. Last of all, I'd like to ask the experts out there about what Nisi rims would be right/period specific for this project.
