Hello! I'm new here and wondering if anybody would be able to identify the tubing on this frame? It's an old Cucchietti road bike, there's only so much information about company available through furious google searching. I am particularly fond of the ribbed / crimped profile of the tubing (6 crimps in profile, on the top tube, seat tube and down tube), would be fantastic if anybody was able to shed some light on it. There is a columbus thronic decal on the seat tube but I am a bit suspicious of this as nothing seems very comparable when searching online. Looks somewhat comparable to the tubing found on the colnago ESA mexico but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...
Hoping to make a project out of this soon too. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!
Gian Paolo Cucchietti was a former pro-cyclist who started building hand-crafted road bicycles in 1971. The company still produces custom road bicycles in Cuneo, Italy.
