Rudi bored the seat-tube from 27.0 to 27.2 for me so I can use my Campy seatpost I had on hand. I shipped this to Texas to be re-sprayed in 7-Eleven colors, and Fed-Ex crushed the box, bending the seat stays. Insurance covered the replacement cost of a real 7-Eleven frame, and this was hung in the bike shop and just sat there for a few years.
Decided to have it straightened it so I could ride it as a rain/salty-road bike. It's wasn't pretty with the sanding and paint-prep done on it, but it rides as well as ever now. Found a cheap Shimano-600 8-speed group to build it with - no comparison to the Chorus I sold - SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT!!!
After a season of using it on yucky days, I've cleaned it up and re-sprayed it in the white & red Faema colors. Replaced the Shimano 600 junk with Campagnolo Mirage - MUCH BETTER!
