Whow that`s really great,
Thank you all for twisting your minds and the profound answers you gave. I heard about the maillist and Mark Agree before I tried CR but what I learned was more than I ever expected. I was very happy if I could get some pictures because I'll try to do the repaint in a nearly original style/colour. It was also great if anyone could say something about the equipment. Possibly I don't have to buy Campy Parts for it!? If it's OK i'll send photos to you Mark Agree:
Thank you to all of you
