It 's a Freschi , Italian builder in the. 70's. Lugs are painted. I purchased it in 1976. Emiliano Freschi was a frame builder in the 70's on his own in Milano Italy. He was for years, the chief Frame builder for Pogliaghi bicycles , many of which were raced professionally.

Di2 with old silver Ultegra crankset. It would look better with the ice grey version. White bar tape to match the saddle.
Oh, and no white garage door

yea, i upgraded to di2 a couple of months ago, the only reason i didn't buy new cranks was because i've got a power meter on the other side. I just cant justify dropping $200 and change in difference for a new crank/stages.

Looks great. My only cosmetic comment is that the logo on the wheels in addition to all the other logos/red&white combos becomes a big distracting (its possible that my ADHD is to blame). Also, love the gumwalls on this, nice touch.

Not for me. I don't like the different tires. Not a fan of the bigger rear wheel. I have only found a handful of bikes that look good with the offset wheel size. Can't pinpoint what makes one look good and another not though. The tall stack ON TOP of an already extremely tall head tube is not appealing aesthetically. It kinda looks like a zero offset seat post would work for you also. This appears to be a 62-64cm??? Its such a tall bike, it would be difficult to make look aggressive type of hot in my eyes anyway.

And you are spot on about the 0 offset seatpost, I have one ordered already.

My buddy has 60cm Supersix and it looks no where near that tall. I wonder if the offset wheels has something to do with making it look taller.

b10, were you up around the VA/OHSU late this afternoon? I saw a guy all decked out in a pink Rapha kit heading north bound as I was heading south.

No not me, that is my Saturday morning route though. Might have been a rivercity team kit? They are using that pink rapha kit now.

I like it a lot, but I don't like it 'that way.' It's not sexy, it's not hot; however, it is very cool. If "Lightweight" was any easier to read, it would have been uncool. Navy blue bar tape might have been a nice touch, though, and enough to cross the line to hot.
