Hi there, i know it's not something uncommon, but i decided to share the project (now finished) i decided to build.
I'm a MTBer who loves to tour and also likes to restore old road bikes; i own several bikes, from 50s to 80s, and more than needed MTBs, but i miss some kind of hybrid and i decided to aim towards the "famous" 650b road.
Now, the frame:
I'm 1.75cm tall, i opted for a bigger frame not because it was perfect to me, but i fell in love at first sight, i then managed to convince myself the drop of height from the 650B and the geometry would suffice.
It's a biemmezeta (BMZ) sport frame, looks like one from the 80s, italian third party builder near Padova, that made frames for Milanetti, Girini, Mondial, and then Palo alto, has eyelets for mudguards and the carter, the space between rear stays looks decent, so this is it!
I know it's not an high quality frame, but this is the first brand of bike i restored in the past, so it's something i'm bound to, somehow...
The golden chrome and the green with the light of the sun, makes this frame as good looking as it is delicate, but who cares, i'm gonna make this a good ride.
Money spent for the frame shipped: 110€
-update soon-
