 They can be orderd with Campy or Shimano, Both local shops that
 deal with Marinoni just order custom frames with fork.  They 
 equipt them at the shop with buyers choice on all parts. I picked
 Veloce because three out of three shops said the price diferance 
 between Veloce and Athena were bigger than quality diference.
 The two things that I have been told could use upgrading from 
 Veloce would be hubs and brakes.  however even the Veloce Hubs 
 and brakes are better than the nearly historic ones I am using
 now.   I have never had dual pivot brakes and although I know
 they would be better, I have no trouble skidding a wheel now.
 The one bike shop should be calling me back with a price by 
 December 4th, depending on how steep it is I may upgrade a few
 things.  My wife is Italian, I told my mother in-law that my
 next bike was going to be more Italian then she is (save the
 American Classic seat post).
 
 Next thing to figure out is the paint colors, I'm thinking of
 bright red fadding into bright yellow.  That should be easy
 for traffic to see.
