pass the seat post tarquin i love campy grease and flakes of parmigaino reggiano on my truffle pasta

I'll take some better full bike pics if the weather is good, the background is a bit busy...
now pass the provolone...

Looks like quite a bit of elbow grease has gone into this, if I am not mistaken, since I last came across it. Nice.

needs this:

Went for 68 quid on ebay either last year or year before...

Wasn't the seatpost stolen from a Foumenger's bike and then sold ont bay by a known tea leaf?

Tidy profit.

Was that an ebay issue? I sold a frame here which was lost by Yodel ( I even went to the Yodel warehouse to try and locate it for the buyer )...I had a saved search and lo and behold it turned up on ebay months later ... ebay didn't respond or end the listing! We later managed to retrieve the frame after a wrangle with the seller... sheesh

Tidy profit.

well it owes me a lot more than the ebay price...open to offers; problem is I would make a tidy profit if I parted it out on ebay ( pair of drillium calipers and levers went for over £130 ) but such a pity to split such a rare beaut....

Whether there is profit being made is irrelevant, the price matches the quality of the bike and value has certainly been added by Chris' efforts here.

Nice ride, nice price bump!

My post was not meant as a dig. More to highlight the work gone into the bike.
Have a bump.

Yup nicked by Kyle Mustapha of Stoke Newington fame, as many things have been on here sadly without any police come back.

That came across from your post which was a great piece of bike spotting. Chapeu!

Police actually caught him. I went to court as a witness. First time it got adjourned, second time victim (fellow forumonger) hasn't showed up. So they cleared all the charges.
As for me I don't have a seatpost and can't get my money back cause it was over 45 days to start a claim through eBay...

Frame details of the Mattolini very similar to the Masi

I have a Mattolini, not drill but full pantho. Just as Chris says, a very nice bike!
Should be cleaned and to ride.

Free bump.
