Dave (fka da bomb) clarified:
" O.K. - first Paulie boy, its DUCK not DUKE. sheesh...  Monster?  Gots one

He he 
First of all, in honor of our late pal G Carlin, I now reefer to myself as
"older" (aka not old;) 
That said,
Sorry to disappoint but it's a Duc of a different feather.

Pizzo must have spiked the Chianti cause ala "Little Big Man" I have
apparently entered my "eyetalian period." 
This cycle frame drips Itttly.  Supposedly handmade in Italy, presumably by
Italian hands.  With just a little nudge from CF/Ti Randy McCall and
WheelmanLee, I have slipped down another go fast mechanical slope of CF,
titanium and cnc'd aluminum.  
Having acquired this fine frame, it deserves other parts as worthly.  D'oh
d'oh dough.
Sunday I drove up to Milwaukee to pick up a '65 Bianchi from the original
owner.  No tires, but chrome lugs, bellisimo!
Wife thinks it doesn't belong in the dining room.  She knows not yet of the
Duc project.  D'oh
Issues.
