I got to thinking this morning that I should sell this frame as 12 months on it's still right at the back of the queue and no sign of it being built up into something rideable.
It's a Contini Aero, resprayed a kind of Cinelli blue. Tubes are apparently Columbus Neuron with a Genius fork. Both frame & fork fully chromed. The tubes are heavily reshaped, at first glance looking like MAX however with a pronounced aero shape. Not sure if the headtube lugs are MAX modified to fit the slightly different shape of these tubes or something else entirely. Downtube is bi-oval like MAX and the seat tube also tapers to what looks similar to a MAX bottom bracket shell.
130 rear, 27,2 seatpost, 22,2 stem, BSC bottom bracket. Stronglight A9 headset spins smoothly and is in good aesthetic condition too.
I actually forgot to measure it up again this morning but from memory it's 61 or 60.5c-c and 59cm in length.
The repaint is only so-so, IMO it really requires another layer of laquer.
Only issue worth noting is the rear derailleur cable guide has been stressed a little and the ends have splayed a bit. I can't see it being an issue long term with a properly sized cable/ferrule setup.
Ideally looking to recoup what I payed, 250eur here in Paris, with shipping (EU) & Paypal fees looking at 310eur max.
