@midlife Hmmm that one is somewhat similar but it seems to have only one crimp on the side... also the crimp doesn't appear to finish as sharply. I found these images of a Colnago Regal Arabesque that had a very similar shape with what looks to be 6 crimps in cross section, i'm kind of guessing here though!

@midlife: It says 'Thronic' on the teat tube but when googling this type of tubing nothing that similar seems to show up. Bit suspicious that the decal could have been added on afterwards
@Vince: I was emailing a guy called Giorgio from Cucchietti and managed to get hold of some old decals because i'm probably going to get it resprayed soon. I did ask on a couple of occasions about the tubing type but he managed to dodge that part of my email both times!!

Thanks! I definitely got lucky buying it years back, appreciating it a lot more nowadays. From my very basic understanding of the gilco tubes they seem to have a slightly different shape to my frame? See the image and diagram below... Unless I am mistaken of course, then I will be very happy to have finally gotten to the bottom of it after all

Hello! I'm new here and wondering if anybody would be able to identify the tubing on this frame? It's an old Cucchietti road bike, there's only so much information about company available through furious google searching. I am particularly fond of the ribbed / crimped profile of the tubing (6 crimps in profile, on the top tube, seat tube and down tube), would be fantastic if anybody was able to shed some light on it. There is a columbus thronic decal on the seat tube but I am a bit suspicious of this as nothing seems very comparable when searching online. Looks somewhat comparable to the tubing found on the colnago ESA mexico but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...
Hoping to make a project out of this soon too. Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!
