I might have the option to buy a Brunetti road frame (56cm). Ad says Reynolds 501 tubing, it's got a 130mm rear drop out and comes with chrome Colombus forks.

Since I can't find any info on Brunetti on the web at all, does anyone know about these bikes?

Otherwise, the fella's selling a Bianchi Sprint Campino del Mondo 1973-74, which is in need of restoration.

if it cheap, go for it, otherwise not really worth spending money on.

Why's that?

It's €80 + €20 for forks. It's just the frame, no BB, headset, etc.

That's about £86.

Yea or nea?

Reynolds 501, they're basic cheap steel, nothing special about it, £86 a lots of money for that frankly, whether for the same price, you can get a 531 (or nearest equation) with some bits.

Actually, I'm not sure where I got the 501 thing from. Just that the ad says it's Reynolds.

Columbus tubing?

I can't find any info anywhere about Brunetti.

The decal on the frame reads:

COLUMBUS

Tubi Speciali Trafica

Acciaio CrMo

GARA

If that's any help. You're probably right about it.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
