Sancineto

After that froggy green Gitane, for reasons still unknown to me, I totally got into road bikes.

I was lucky enough to find two very nice bikes, and a so-so donor.

I would like to start with Mr. Sancineto Columbus Genius beauty. This bike should be dated 1995 (I will take a picture of its BB soon), and the most iconic detail of his bikes were the vertical stays. Look at the way they are welded on top of the seat tube!

The piece where you see his "signature" is actually pressed in a bar, is not a round tube anymore. 

I found a very good source of info in: Sancineto Bicycles | The Utah Randonneur (wordpress.com)

I am very puzzled about how to build it. It came with some random Campagnolo components which I totally don't like. I could go with a DA 7402 (not really period correct), but I have in mind to buy a modern group, probably Campagnolo or Sram and go with it, making it my daily (rotfl, like if I ride daily) bike.
