Hello-
I will also post in the Retro forum but I am looking for info on the Nuovo Classico. I recently bought a used frame that I believe was built in 1992. It has TSX tubing and is in really good condition. I wish to build this back up and was hoping someone out there may know what original components it had on it.

Also- would it be better to try to find original components, or, since this is not a truly old bike, build with newer stuff (Campy only of course).

Thanks

why don't you ask at forum on derosanews.com? Someone from the factory could tell you the answer.

I've got a Nouvo Classico that I bought new in '95. I bought the frame only, & outfitted the bike with all Chorus stuff, except the brakes, which are record. I'm an old guy, a former cat 2 racer, and I've ridden and owned many bikes. There are none that I like better than my NC. It's a true stage race bike, built in a "long distance" cut. The angles are more relaxed that the typical crit bike. As a result, it rides much better, and is more stable. The analogy I use is that it handles like a Porsche 911, but rides like a Buick Park Ave. It's a great bike. Mine has around 30,000 miles on it now. I'm also a big guy...6'3" and close to 200 lbs. I have no intentions of changing bikes anytime soon.
