Frame could be a Biemmezeta (BMZ). GLWS

@Olly398 thanks. The remaining decals say "Sorrento" but I do agree that other BMZ's have a similar paintwork

Very nice

@Wadi2 where are you based? pick up is easier for me, but happy to be flexible on this.

Hi @marksywhatwhat , I'm based in London and interested but £140 is a bit of a stretch. Think you could come down a little more? thanks!

lovely

Campy ends ?

@The.Gren - Yes - they have been drilled (not by me!)

I believe the drillings (especially the extra one on the top and the one just above the hanger) is for a campy proprietary system (special gear lever and an ear like contraption which sits on the inside of the dropout) for ease of wheel removal.

@coventry_eagle thanks for the insight. I always thought they were just done to save some weight!

It's called Portacatena and details can be found here:

Hi there, I like the "ratty" look (soz). what's the width on rear drop outs? I.e. Is it 130mm so will take later 9speed?

rat de luxe

@pakchoi hi it's 126mm. However, believe that sheldon brown said that you could fit a 130 hub quite comfortabley in a 126mm space. Quite common when the number of speeds increased in the 80s.

Okay, thanks, my situation has changed now so I'm out, sorry

Considering putting this on ebay - last chance for any interest
