Hi all,

Long shot here as I am in Canada, but I figured I'd post this here just in case. Nothing to lose!

Mint condition Marinoni Pista frameset with Chris King headset. Selling to fund a road bike. Beautiful lugged, handmade frame in Columbus SP tubing. Pics say it all. I asked for the fork to include a brake hole -- not DIYed! Only a couple hundred km on this frame, so it's pretty well new.

Seat tube (c-c): 59cm
Top tube (c-c): 57cm
Steerer: 1" threaded

Comfy for those of us in the 6 foot tall camp. Paid just about $2500cad ($1910+tax for the frame and chrome, $265+tax for the headset).

Would prefer local sale (Montreal, QC, Canada) but I can ship it if someone wants it. I've shipped a couple bikes in the past without any issues. Just contact me to discuss details.

Asking: $1550cad via Paypal or cash if local (that works out to 890gbp)

FYI, I will be in the Boston-ish area on the weekend of the 23-24th. Planning to make a trip to Cambridge on the morning of the 24th. Just a heads up for Mass. Bay folks that delivery could be possible.

That's a really beautiful frame!

Thanks! I won't be too sad if it doesn't sell. But on the other hand I won't be able to finish my new road bike this season otherwise....

Not build by Giuseppe right ?

Any pics on wheels ? It looks tight..

Built by Giuseppe! He's still doing them on special request. Not quite retired yet. As a matter of fact I think he's the only one that can do lugs there. Their modern line-up is all TIG and/or carbon. Once Giuseppe retires (who knows when) I believe that will be the end of lugged Marinonis. Actually I was up at their facilities a few weeks ago for a fitting and he was kicking around.

Clearance on the back is tight, on the front it is not. I think the flat fork crown made the shoulders a bit higher so it looks more classic than I think what most people like in modern track bike.

Couple pics built up (for reference only!):
