The good thing seeing that green Colossi is that now I'm lusting a little bit less after green Cinellis.

Exactly. You can get some nice components for that kind of money.

The frame was one that they had on display at their shop so I never went through the process of ordering specific paint but I'm pretty certain the chromed lugs are standard on the Mondial.( bottom of this page Mondial Track ? Colossi.us )

Finished building up an old Takara frame I got for free. Did a quick rattle can paint job, cleaned up the brake, cranks, and stem, pulled some other stuff out of the parts bin, and voila... cheap ass knock off Creamroller. Just took it on it's maiden beer run

No matter how much you might wish it to be so, and however much you spend on parts for one - it will still never be a Supercorsa
Having said that, I do hope you enjoy your Mondial Track very much...

Colossis are very nice frames & that distributor who opened up in NY is doing a great job with them, but...

He's Happy, I'm happier still.
As posted earlier, I picked up a Worksman trike for my adult son who is autistic. Enough parts came in to make it ridable. More work on it later, but here's an "Action Jackson" pic of his first ride (ever) around the block with a neighbor.

Thanks for the kind words, folks!
Not much left to do except replace both chains, and cosmetics. Waiting on parts for that. The main drive chain measures 12 1/8"+ and makes hella noise when pedaling. Chainring and cogs look OK, though. Bearings are all done. Worksman was a faster parts supplier than the web shop from which I ordered the chain!
Oh, took it for a spin, myself....trikes feel goofy! Feel like I should have an athletic passenger who's hanging out over the inside turn radius like they do in motorcycle sidehack racing.
Thanks again, everyone
