I haven't cycle in a minute...
so I just recently got a new road bike.. used but new to me. and im embarrassed for how much I bought it for. I bought it out of impulse. the first 10mins of riding it I'm already regretting it.. anywho it's a faggin compion del mondo.. I can't even find a downloadable pdf catalog, so I don't know whats stock and what got replaced. both derailers are campy tho, crank arm is aerox? not sure if the chainring is stock. the brakes and brake levers are generic, the shifters are suntour. not sure what kind of rims but they look generic as ****! the goose neck are cinelli, same with the handlebars..
anyways.. Im guna try get my money back

Good luck with the sale. Cycling doesn't suit everyone.

Good luck on getting your money back. But next time, don't spend a lot of money until you have the experience to know why you are paying that much for something.

Sounds like components may not be original--at least from a past post I found: Any information about a vintage Faggin Campione Del Mondo road bike? - Bike Forums

Is this your bike?

Probably not the right gearing for your current level of bike fitness and it looks like it's set up all wrong. As well the crank looks way too long as if someone put it on there to overcome the gearing issues that one would have in anything other than flat terrain.
