Nice price

A beaut.

What year is it?

Sorry,

Don't know the year.

Dibs if the front ain't 24" and the top tube not longer than 56cm.

Can you measure it c-c and tell me how long both the virtual and actual top tube are?

Will do in the morning.

Cheers.

Thanks!

Look on the bottom bracket - the first two numbers will be the year it was made.

Actual TT Length = 58cm
Effective TT Length = 52cm

More pics?!

very very nice....have a bump!

I do have some more pics, but was struggling to load them.

I will try again later, as I have to go off now and do some parenting!

Parenting and lo pro´s. Era of the modern man...

JJ, it appears to be slightly to big for me - I don't want to stretch too much.
The lo-pro I have at the moment is 58cm.

The other thing is, is it me or the top tub has a dent?

Any news on the year of manufacture?

^^EEI, I think that's the entry for the through-toptube-brakecable.. You can also see the exit at the underside of the tt near the seattube..

Rodolfo is correct, there is no dent - internal-routed brake cable.

@ Bodieanddoyle - forgot to take my glasses this morning when I measured the frame, couldn't read the numbers. will pop out again later and post the result.

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure.
It's a lovely frame, but I seem to have a bad luck - my Argos was 53cm, Simoncini is 58cm. I need something 54-55cm (bit smaller than a road bike's size) with a top tube of 55-56cm max.
The only thing with lo-pros, it's very hard to tell the size before it's built up.

So you'll be selling the Simoncini?

@ B&D, 'tis an '89 - a fine year for lo-Pro's

So you'll be selling the Simoncini?

If I find something of similar quality and for the same crazy price, yes.
