I just built up my new old stock Casati yesterday. I’ve been squirreling away different bits and pieces for a “classic” Italian build for over a year or so. When the opportunity arose to buy a 20 year old Casati that had been gathering dust in a bike shop in Italy, I pounced on it.

So, it’s running now, such a pretty bike. Can’t wait to take her out to Kissena for this year’s Velo City.

Big thanks to Sasha for the pics! Full part breakdown below.
