I have already repainted some bits, changed the air in the tires, and fixed some broken wires so I guess I am over the original cliff already. :sad:

Not sad. If you kept it original it would be nothing more than a giant 2 wheeled paper weight. If a combination of new, refurbished or repaired parts are what it takes to get it back on the road who cares. Bikes are made to ride and enjoy. Having it sit in a shed rotting away because its to original to get running or sitting on a pedestal in a museum behind the velvet rope doing nothing because its too nice to ride is a waste. Build it, ride it, get it dirty and enjoy every mile.

 :1: Totally agree, but if an oem part can be salvaged, especially something as primal as a set of jugs, I will always prefer to refurbish the original. There is something rewarding about seeing a part that could have been written off back in service. Best of luck with the rebuild! :gotpics:

I've heard from a reliable source, that when the next batch of Gilardonis become available, V7 Sport sets will once again be among them. Probably 3-4 months away would be my guess.

My reliable source told me yesterday that Gilardoni has finished making the V7 Sport kits and will be shipping them to retailers in the US this month. Ambo and Eldo kits will be back in stock around April.
