No idea about any of that. This photo was taken north of Toulouse a day ago.

Is @hippy ur friend?

Nah, don't know any OZs... ;)

Mad bodge on the head tube and seat stay!

Tight!
Great colours.

rat report : winter

can you name tubing & frame brand ? ;-)

Columbus cromor and bianchi? 😂

That's just filler from Dolan to smooth the welds out 😂

it's a bianchi 'tangent' (cyclocross/touring/tighter geo)
it's tange prestige...
very thin tubes (!!!)

I need to get a better shot, because this frame is very fun in that, from 1988, it foreshadows a lot of what was to come eventually in the 2000s
it's slightly sloping
1st gen oversize downtube with slightly ovalized BB connection
ovalized chainstays

the 2000s+ were just going to take these details and go over-oversize

I wish they were, broke 4 Pre-Cursas so yeah, they're cheap and nice but they break, so just buy another one! ;)

Awesome. Tange is mad light, my Panasonic has that tubing.

@coventry_eagle fair enough 😂

Home made recumbent, maybe from BMX? Nothing to see here.

Even better, it's a Cannondale Scalpel

Ah, thought it was just sticker misdirection.
