The bulk of the raw materials here- Italian pipes of ridiculous sexiness and crazy lightness. This frame marks the first Wildebeest encounter with Dedacciai Zero Replica tubing. It is the hope of the design department here at Wildebeest that this bicycle, once built up, will provide a ride quality that provokes staggering levels of happiness in Ms. M, the owner.

Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary, save the call for a 28.6 millimeter diameter steerer for the fork, which made finding a lugset slightly more challenging (most head lugs are designed for one-inch, or 25.4 millimeter, steerers) since the head tube needs to be 36 millimeters or so in diameter.
