And Guardian Angels sung this strain...

Good Lord! It looks like riding the Union Jack!  The late-sixties italian frame has ended up as a mid-fifties english bike!
I knew I should have painted it green (don't take a family ballot unless you are sure to win!)
Not yet finished, though.  Perhaps tomorrow I'll go for a test-ride.

    If you don't mind me giving you an advice, I think it would improve a lot if you just change the red handle-bar tape into a blue one.
    By the way: Tomorrow I hope I'll finally have your decals!

    Well yes you are quite right, We've been considering different colour options ( white or blue mainly) till the very last minute but finally we opted for the "Rule Britannia look". Mind it's been assembled as a "fixie" thus I feel that some "liberties" regarding colour patterns can be taken.

    Hey! What are these cranks? Campagnolo? are very bright!
    Good luck with the test tomorrow, be brave, but starts slowly (The fixie is another chip)

    Oh, these are track cranks: "Pista Plata"
    I geared the bike at 61 inches what's well enough for rolling terrain without too steep too long climbs though sometimes I feel outgeared in the flats.
