    Ciocc Volpe CVarbon Cross bike, I have the frame in hand, ready to go
    (http://www.solarabicycles.com/~local/~Preview/volpe.jpg)
    I will be putting these brakes on it, Paul's Mini Moto, in orange of course
    (http://www.paulcomp.com/minimoto.html)
    maybe with some wheels similar to the Zipp 303's
    the Groupo is still up in the air, maybe SRAM, possibly Ultegra? Suggestions?

    Very sharp. I've heard good things @ the new SRAM stuff..

    What's the ETB? Estimated time to build.

    yeah, same here BN on the new SRAM, I have heard that even the Apex is super sweet. I could do the build with the Ultegra 6700 I have on hand, would just need a cross specific crank, Shimano CX70 with a 36/46 possibly?

    looking at a couple of weeks I think. Traded the Ciocc for an old 50's Record Ace Frame I had that was totally restored, it was just too big for me.
    Working in an LBS now, and man, it's dangerous!! ha ha ha

    Can't wait to see that build completed. Like those colors Gonzo.

    "Riding is about rhythm and flow. It's the wind in your face and the challange of hammering up a long hill. It's the reward at the top and the thrill of a high-speed descent. Biking lets you come alive both in body and spirit."

    Sorta like my Ciocc!

    Okay, maybe not, but yours is very nice indeed. Show us when it is done!

    That's going to be a sharp build. If you are going with those Pauls then you'll need some CK Mango hubs and BB and headset.

    Then I would mate the hubs with some H Plus Son Archetype 23mm rims.

    Heck I would do a lot of things if I had the change.

    Whoa bobswire!!! That stuff is beautiful!!! Tasty for sure!!!
    I can do the BB and Headset at 1st, the wheels will have to wait due to funding, but I think I could do those in the near future
