No, no, no... I'm in love with this bike from the first time i saw it. 20 x more than i paid is by no means a small money by Croatian standards, infact that's what i get for one month of honest work. I allready have a modern road bike with a triple crankset so it's not like i'm gona turn it into something ridicullous - the tripple crank and the clipless pedals are the only change i intend to make. And i simply have to do that because i have to transverse some steep hills wherever i go from the place i live. I think that forcing myself and the bike with standups all the time would do much more damage than a triple cranset.

I will probably take that advice. In fact it is maybe possible to find some old campy stock out of 80' around here. I will keep all of you updated on my effort. :-)
