I can't tell you how many wonderful comments I get on my 170mm Gipiemme Pista crank arms and chain rings that have been, pantographed, drilled and painted by PORETTI. <br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/3210807573/in/set-72157612771751114<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/3210807209/in/set-72157612771751114<br /><br />Now you need to bring back pantographed on your frames. May be "VO"s inside of a shield on both sides of the rear brake bridge amd on each side of the fork crowns. Also a vertical "VO" on on the seatstay caps.<br /><br />This can be seen on my early 1980's custom Basso.<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/sets/72157612771751114/<br /><br />Pantographs on top of chromed fork crown:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/3219685542/in/set-72157612771751114<br /><br />Pantographs on the rear brake bridge:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/3218836147/in/set-72157612771751114<br /><br />Pantographs on the seat stay caps:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/97652170@N00/3211463598/in/set-72157612771751114/<br /><br />How much would this add to the cost of your frames?sibkissolutionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13371447184521129460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-77215278239362973692012-07-21T07:14:41.989-04:002012-07-21T07:14:41.989-04:00Pls make a 34/46 available as well,

I've got a special gearing option in mind that will never be the mass marketed version you'd have to offer. I hate the idea of buying the crank and rings and then also having to buy different rings.

Many of us are running 44/30 or 46/32 or similar on old 94mm BCD or other things. Your 50.4 and Compass' offerings are options, but somebody should step up and keep 94mm going.bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200546574600759584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-76902379324957737342012-07-11T15:46:38.068-04:002012-07-11T15:46:38.068-04:00Greetings,
