^that cream frames is 5/5 bellissimo.

gorgeous.

New resident at Gruber Towers getting its maiden run tomorrow-been patiently waiting YEARS to find one of these in my size :D

/\
good find! , unusual detail on the forks,looks like it has the re enforced plate on dt/ht join,there was a master cx in that decor on another forum, that had master stamped on the rear stay bridge,
enjoy the maiden run!

Yeah, pretty sure it's a one-off Dream CX as it's got similarities but extra pantos on the fork as well as a really nice engraved 'nago stem and headset cups.

I bought it from Italy and the seller was a bit sneaky as I think the seatpost clamp area has had a crack cut and drilled but looks to have been done properly and I think this was a common problem with the early CX frames, as the Rabo team one I found in Holland (which was too big for me) had the same even though it was steel. I saw the D.T plate in the pics and thought it was a after-purchase fix but seems they were all made this way which is funny considering how chunky the welds are! Maybe it's just because the fork is steel and in theory the alu frame will buckle before the fork would?

Anyway! Going to charge about the woods in it this afternoon and have some fun!

some forks on the dream's were carbon/carbon wrapped,like mine, does it have crimp dt and tt ? if not could be scandium aluminium

this is the master in similar decor, vendor was Hilary Stone i believe ,poss a repost, has carbon type forks like some dreams

a rabo alutec dream, with steel forks, i think the forks were chromor steel, and used on colnago mtb's as well

Thank you for the kind words... I wanted the vintage cream colour used for the single speed Colnago frames...

Thanks!

cc, are they yours for keeping?

Got my new project delivered. It has serial 1E088 and D264 stamped on the rear drops. Any clue to what year it's from?

hard to find serial no info, factory may be of some help
