Hey there. I'll do my disclaimer first - I'm a custom bike business and I get Colossi to make my frames. I also act as the UK agent for them but because I don't really hold stock it usually takes a while to get a bike via me. I think I have a couple of the Mondial track frames in storage with Colossi branding on. They're up north but I am up and down all the time. What size are you looking at?
Colossi are one of the industry's best kept secrets. They're primarily a white label builder, as in they make frames for some very big names in Europe and the US. Think of some frames supposedly coming out of Italy or Belgium...
With Zona, the tubing is coming from Italy and Colossi do know how to put a frame together. The Mondial is very nice.
As @daveaa says the paint isn't great. They do a good paint job in house but they don't clearcoat so it does chip.
Any questions, give me a shout. Even about sourcing. Bear in mind if you get it from Germany you'll have shipping and maybe some import fees.
