Title: Big up Biagio!!! Check out this bike porn he recently completed for me.
Post by: NathanRelton on August 10, 2007, 01:37 PM

Take one TA frame from California in good shape with no rust anywhere and a couple of minor scrapes, buy some reasonable Graphites, acquire a very rough pro neck stem, add a bit of Biagio Magic and hey presto a perfect TA!!!!

B supplied GT Pro Bars, GT Post, Tange 125 Headset, Suntour Seat Clamp, Tioga comp III Tyres, Shimano DX Pedals, Redline Cranks (stunning) the rest i acquired (Dia compe MX900's, DC Tech 3 levers, Kashimax Saddle, Graphite Tuffs,. The pro neck stem was saved from the bin and B skimmed it and re anodized so it looks awesome.

This bike owes me a lot of Dollar but i think i have just experienced true love for the first time!!!!!

If i had the time i would do it myself, Biagio does charge a bit but thats his livelyhood.

stunning looking build mate - did you know those DX's could be polished up to a mirror finish - they just need sanding down with various grades of wet and dry and then attack them with a dremal - now that would completely finish it off!!!!
