I previously tried to sell this as a complete bike, but am now selling just the frame, forks and Campagnolo Pista headset and bottom bracket.
The frame is from the late 1970s/early 1980s (Casati couldn't be any more specific when I asked them) and the serial number is '7'. The frame was almost certainly built my Gianni Casati himself, who was said to be the finest builder of brazed steel frames in Italy by none other than Ugo De Rosa, at their workshop in Monza.
The overall condition is immaculate, I doubt you'd ever find as good an example of a frame of this vintage that's not NOS.
There are some slight patches where the chrome is damaged, especially on the chainstays, and the odd tiny mark to the paint but that's it. My understanding is that the frame is fully chromed beneath the paint too.
The frame measurements are as follows;
Top tube centre to centre: 590 mm
Seat tube centre to centre: 565 mm
Head tube end to end: 150 mm
