"Kommisar, I also have a Team Malvor (Stefano Allocchio) Bottecchia that was built for the Giro but banned by the UCI. It was a one-off, built for hillclimbing, and as such has very strange geometry with a forward-leaning seat tube and very long seat stays. The idea seems to have been to reproduce in a sitting position the same geometry of standing to pedal going uphill. So, the bike on level ground, has a "downhill" (front-leaning) stance. The bike was ridden in practice, but banned when the UCI got wind of it. Chromed frame in mint condition, labels perfect, all Mavic high-end groupset. "
