Compared to my cycling activity of the last couple of years, the projects and build ups are seemingly flying out of the garage (in comparison to the last few years that is ) ---- im more excited about riding and getting some of these old projects out of my hair and perhaps emptying some of the parts boxes
I had so much fun with my last 2 relatively simple projects that i figured id better button up a couple more
Vianelli corsa - unknown tubing, but pretty light and a 27.2 seat tube ------------- I purchased it from an Ebay seller from Italy for $53 plus shipping (was a no reserve auction that went largely unnoticed) --- When it arrived i had the frame aligned, faced and chased and installed a headset and bottom bracket --- I bolted on some Campy Racing T parts i bought from a member here through the For sale forum -- and there it has sat for 5 years
First step is to take it off the wall in my office , put a seatpost on it and place in workstand (important psychological component -- moves it into "active project" category mentally )
- i'll spend some time tomorrow sorting through parts bins looking for brifters suitable for this along with wheels --- then its off to the mail order sites to sorce the rest
Goal is to get it done by Thanksgiving !

Looks great, plenty of time to get it ready for a Memorial Day or Independence Day parade.
Your new acquisition is like my mountain bike -- some bikes don't need no 4th of July decorations.

Neglected USA themed Project
i was expecting an American framed thing.
Nice looking project to finish, tho’.
be sure to update thread periodically.
also reminds me to change the old tires on a vintage USA made frame, in need of more miles.

Not that I have any room to talk, but you didn’t say which year’s Thanksgiving😉
I got to searching for a triple group set to use on the Botty Cromor frame you sent. Some promising listings have come up😁
