For Sale: Where is all the choice Euro-steel?

Not seeing any good race-face Italian and Continental steel frames these days, neither on the 'bay nor here or elsewhere...

My frame-itis is flaring up again, the 61 c-c variant.

Translate...you want a large Italian frame?

Don't want to sound heightist but stereotypically Italians are not very tall.

Or Belgian, French, Dutch etc..Continental... I've always preferred Mainland bicycles.

Don't want to sound heightist but stereotypically Italians are not very tall.

The stereotype generally pertains to Sardinians and Southerners. On average they may not be as tall as say the Dutch (or me) but neither are they the Munchkins us Brits tend to think they are.

Fignon, in the last 3 months I've bought a 63cm Gios Torino Super Record Frame (from Holland) and a 64cm Colnago Master Piu frame (from London, last week). I'm 6'4" tall.

They are out there. Tell me exactly what you're looking for geometry-wise and I'll keep an eye open for you.

So Mario was from the south and Luigi was from the North?

Wrong time o' year. Seasonal in't !

I have a 60cm Paletti frame that I'm looking to shift soonish (whenever I get around to taking pics, maybe next weekend)

Have a look on marketplats, normally has the larger frames
