I have been told that often, frame builders have to make frames for local teams (customized frames, so not in catalogues) in short time. To do this, they sometimes prefer to weld post tube with tig. In this way, they don’t need to misure and cut post tubes, and they also don’t need to calculate angle to weld it on the drop out. So frame builders can save lot’s of time and recycle frame parts.
I also had contact with Chesini and they told me that only a couple of these frames were made for the 6day events in the early 1990's.
Asking: 850,- Euro
Excluding shipping cost and Paypal fee's
Cheers Kobe.
