Is that a Fly, the beryllium alloy one?

Edit: wait, track ends...!

i have absolutely no idea.. no info floating around. they are both from the san patrignano era (it is a rehab center where people can participate in various activities - pesenti thaught them framebuilding, so they were most likely not built by the laserman himself)

i have been on the lookout for a track frame to have a matching pair :) they are nothing special (i mean, tubing-wise - the road one has a sticker that says "tubi progetti - tau - butted tubes, 25CrMo4"), but hey. they are the closest i'm going to get to a laser :D

Cool story!

new tubes, rear mavic cosmic hub, chorus rear derailleur.
record BB, crankset, rear BC, brifters
DA pedals, F hub
CK, nemo FS, genius forks...

Got a Syncros stem for my Obed a few weeks ago. Now it's fully kitted with Syncros, including rims & front hub and XTR M952 though out.

Daaaaaaaaammmmn

That's great, what year is the frame?

It's the first frame that got me into this bike building game more than 10 years ago and despite not seeing so much action anymore it still fucking love it. I even got the wheels laced with titanium spokes ffs.

I forgot tbh, maybe around 97'? It has David Lynskey's signature on the DS seatstay so it was from that era.

That is bloody lovely

Nice, love a bit of 90s ti. I have a 97 Classic I've been gathering parts for over the last year

Cyfac is rad

Merci : )
I made it for my daughter.

Glad you like it, thanks.

It's awesome !

Picked this up from my dad to get it running again for him. It's a Cavallo Marino that he bought in France a few years ago - have seen a couple up for sale on here before, all with jazzy paint.

is that a OS down tube ?

Such a great parts selection. And those forks... I feel like that about my old Saracen. Glad I "sold" it to a friend to keep it on the trails. Way too good to ever let go of

The Cyfac is so rad! It's the first bike I see where coloured tyres aren't bad. Awesome, awesome build.

Think so - it's Columbus Thron which if I remember correctly was one of the early OS tubesets. Only mid-range but still nice.

New tape, cables and gum-walls for summer.

Agreed that Cyfac is just gorgeous. Lucky lady.

That's hot. Tilt the bars down slightly maybe?

Bike Whisperer says no.
