@majklnajt,
Thanks for the bump on this old thread lol!
The Team SC is still with me but it's currently hanging on the display tower haha...

Two projects for the past 14 months namely a Bixxis Pathos (Ti) and an upcoming Bixxis Prima (steel) - both by Doriano De Rosa.
I'm still a sucker for classic rim brake bikes (in traditional geometry of course) :lol:

Cheers!

Bixxis looks really nice!!

I wonder if you'd put on a bit "bulkier" saddle and risk a bit of seapost visibility how it would turn out?
Because the bar drops look more "fat" than the SLR saddle.

I know... bikes are meant to bi ridden and not te be looked on from aside :D

Very Nice bike.
The same Peter Van Peteghem rode to vistory in The Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix at Lotto , Virenque took a Mont Ventoux stage in the Tour de frame at Domo Farm Frites team as did Johan Museeuw in Paris-Roubaix in 2002 if I'm not mistaken and Servais Knaven in 2001.
This models evolved into the so called 'Premium', same Easton Scnadium tubing material but other form of tubing, available in classic and sloping geometry with slightly bend seatstays and an Easton EC90SL front fork made to measurements of Eddy Merckx. (it was more curved than the origiginal)

For this particular build, my only question is the Campagnolo seatpost. While the bike is build with lightweight stem and handlebar, you could gain some extra grames at the seatpost too. On the other hand I understand the italian feeling an original Campagnolo Record seatpost gives.
