Nice Ciocc you have. What part are you going to fix later? You should done up the Mercier. Ask uncle Phoon for help

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.

You can try to convince the workshop to do partial chrome for you. Before decide what to do with it.

It's a good way to start your build and motivates oneself.
