i want to go campy with the ciocc hence the long (and expensive) build...
i'm thinking of getting the mercier clean up and clear coated again. i did the stripping and 'amateur' clear coating myself 2 yrs ago. its starting to rust. I might bring both the ciocc and mercier to uncle phoon one day and see if he could help.
the ciocc has got a bad rust on the non drive side rear triangle. so bad that i only want to look at it from the drive side.
