Casati Cronox vintage Italian track frame

I previously tried to sell this as a complete bike, but am now selling just the frame, forks and Campagnolo Pista headset and bottom bracket.

The frame is from the late 1970s/early 1980s (Casati couldn't be any more specific when I asked them) and the serial number is '7'. The frame was almost certainly built my Gianni Casati himself, who was said to be the finest builder of brazed steel frames in Italy by none other than Ugo De Rosa, at their workshop in Monza.

The overall condition is immaculate, I doubt you'd ever find as good an example of a frame of this vintage that's not NOS.

There are some slight patches where the chrome is damaged, especially on the chainstays, and the odd tiny mark to the paint but that's it. My understanding is that the frame is fully chromed beneath the paint too.

The frame measurements are as follows;

Top tube centre to centre: 590 mm
Seat tube centre to centre: 565 mm
Head tube end to end: 150 mm

stunning

absolutely stunning

glws. though you won't need any luck

Love the scalloped seat stays with pantographing.

How very lovely.

To think a frameset half as good as this, with a fatuous NJS stamp, would be snapped-up...

This is exactly what I was thinking. Where's the love for quality Italian steel?

Free bump. I want to buy this and I don't even ride track. Just add Nagasawa, 3Rensho, Panasonic etc... in the title and you will have a thousand views in an hour.

A thing of beauty.

Is the complete bike, as in the old photos, still an option to buy?

Unfortunately, no. I've sold the wheels and the crankset.

isn't it resprayed?

Nope, definitely not.

stunning bike. have a bump on me.

Price drop, otherwise it's going on eBay.

Thread closed, now on eBay.

Thread re-opened, does anyone want this for £500?

I really need to shift this - someone make me an offer! Just don't take the piss too much.

trade for a drum kit?

As much as I'd love to have a drum kit again, I don't have the space. Thanks though.

I wish I had an excuse for this :'(

Maessaged you and have cash.

Still available.

Dont want to sound like internet police, but isnt on ebay?

Yes, you're right. I'll close this thread.
