  • Hi.
    This bike started as a replacement for broken frame and now we are into making it look/ride quite good.

    Build at the moment is really simple,in some areas it is just wrong, so will appreciate Your ideas for build )

    Frame - superissimo ( thank You saarf )
    fork - Concorde
    Bar - ITM Super Europa 2
    Stem - 3TTT Status 105 mm
    Bar tape - Cinelli
    Cranks - Shimano cf-4**
    Pedals - Superstar CNC Nanotech ( these are here just for some time )
    Wheels - Joytech hubs/Remerx rims/Vittoria Zaffiro tires
    Brakes - Shimano Sora

    Bike is with fixed gear ( 42/14 ) and is used for commuting.

    Any opinions on improvements?

  • sorry,
    but i doubt it's an esa, the down tube and seat tube should be crimped
    poss a super/mexico circa '86/88

  • It really could be,because we were just looking for frame models with same paintjobs and esa was the only one we found

  • paint means nothing esa's were crimped
    here's an esa i sold
    crimped down tube and seat tube, if yours has, then is esa

  • don't ruin it by making a fixie!

  • If i get the word crimped right,then this one definitely is not flat,but is not crimped that much as Your old frame.

  • it's a superisimo frame

    here is the esa cat scan, you can see the esa paint and decals are completly different

  • although it may jar a purists heart, i think it looks pretty good, a kind of ratter/franken

  • saarf, big thank you ) One mistery solved,now just need to think a way how to build a proper bike out of this frame ...

  • no worries,

    enjoy!
