More Info:
Bought while I was a racer in New England in the late 90s; it came in the AD4 paint scheme and was spec’d with Ultegra 9. Trained on, raced on, and never babied. A few years back I stripped it down, got it repainted in a Molteni homage and had it rebuilt with DA9000 and these wonderful White Industries/Astral wheels which I think of as Faux-Shamals. Not the lightest bike, but it rolls so well, and you can’t help but smile when you look down and see that star-shaped steel tubing underneath you. Forza!
