Hi All.
Probably rarer than hens teeth but you dont ask you don't get.
I have a 53 square Rossin Ghibli with gilco style crimped tubes that has a damaged toptube in need of replacing.
So I am trying to find a 540mm, 25.4mm, replacement top tube, with the gilco style crimping. To be honest I would consider any style as long as it is 25.4mm.
I have been monitoring ebay etc. And chased a load of framebuilders without much joy.
Any leads, thoughts, appreciated.
Thanks.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
