There is a great short video of him doing a restoration in his shop and a documentary was done two years that was shown at the philly bike movie series. Here is the link to the you tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJHwPqn2jY0&feature=related

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJHwPqn2jY0&feature=related>I own a ciocc and of all my bikes it is the most nimble and the lightest, 20.5 lbs with suntour cyclone parts.

I keep going back to this website to dream about buying the GP model, it is beautiful, even nicer than my ciocc. The red one was mentioned earlier in the week, but any color would be fine. I am going to buy a lottery ticket this week and place an order. My question is... how would you build it?? Would you ask for 126mm spacing and no front hanger so you could set it up old school or would you go modern campy 10 speed? Either way I am sure you would blow people's minds rolling up to the weekly club ride on one of those. It could really end up half the cost of what people are spending for plastic, a real bargain. Heirloom quality.

So how would you build it?
