It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to sell this frameset. It's so cool to look at but realistically I don't think I'm ever going to get a chance to ride it as much as I'd like.
Bought it last summer as a bike complete with its tired-looking blue and white fade paint job. I sent it away for a strip and clear coat and it came out really well! The lugs and brazing that's now on show is amazing. The forks are nice too!
I built it up in June 2021 with a Campag Groupset and never rode it - our son was born in July and I'm getting no miles in whatsoever so I'm passing it on.
It measures 54x54, 27mm seat post (included), 130mm rear spacing, recessed brake mounts for modern calipers. Tight clearances - 700x20 tyres were the original spec for this bike and 23s don't fit. Another interesting feature is that the chainstays have holes in, presumably for keeping temps down when brazing, but could be utilised for Di2 wiring for rear mech? Am no expert but thought it's worth calling out.
There's one area where the clear coat seems to not have stuck to the frame and that's on the drive side seat stay/chain stay area - see pics. If I was keeping it then some clear nail varnish would probably do the job here.
