For Sale: Biondi Pista Columbus SL Track Frame

Hello,

BIONDI PISTA track frame set for sale.
Only the frame and forks are included.

HISTORY

*
As far as I've found out, the Biondi name is asociated with Ciocc. Cesare Biondi owns the Ciocc brand and is mentioned as an apprentice of Giovanni Pelizzoli.
I've found a couple of mentions of Biondi name in these posts:

**
Also there's a very well known cyclist by the name of Laurent Biondi.
His signature is not very similar to the one on this frame but they can be associated with the same person.
Here's some info I've found about him and a photo with his signature:

ABOUT THIS FRAME

This frame is made from Columbus SL tubing and all chromed. Fork steerer has an engraved Columbus logo.
Brev. Campagnolo mark on front forks drop out / rear drop outs have no marks.
The seat stays have a very lite "Gilco" profile.
The Biondi name is celebrated with a lot of letter 'B' and Biondi pantography.
Max tire width that fits in front forks is 23c.
Frame builder left some brazing nails inside the bottom bracket shell. I've seen the same thing inside other frames like De Rosa or Colnago.
The precision of lugs, the quantity of pantography and an attention to detail make this frame a real masterpiece.

WEAR & DAMAGE

This frame set was used only on track.
It is in very good condition with some cosmetic ware.
Some paint has come off on couple of places where chrome is visible.
Spots of rust on the seat clamp and drop outs.
No dents or dings.
