    Ok...after a lot of thoughts I decided to sell this frame plus bits.
    It's a really sweet bike, the kind that has a story to tell. Dazzan is a guy that has a bike shop in Italy, near my hometown and near a velodrome, before that he was a good track racer([ame]http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octavio_Dazzan[/ame] sorry it's in italian...) he went to moscow olimpic games and raced in the foreigners league of Keirin in japan winning the league for a few years...
    after tha he set up the shop and a little team. this is one of the bikes that Cinelli built for his team. he told me it's from the late '80s
    I've been using it for 5-6 years and since I moved to london I'm using almost only my other bike..I don't feel it's right to keep this beauty unused in a corner....so I'm selling it with few original components.

    the size is: seat tube 54.5 tt 55.5
    lugs are cinelli and tubing Columbus SL
    the paint and stickers are original

    I'm selling it with an original Turbo saddle and Galli seatpost, Campagnolo record Headset Miche 165 "compasso d'oro" cranks on a loose bearings BB (should be Galli) with a 51t Campagnolo chainring plus a 41t (recent) chainring, a 5cm stem with a very narrow riser.
    probably some will be disappointed about the hole on the fork...I did not drill it. Octavio Dazzan used to take us to train on the road and so a brake was put on...
    I'll include the brake modified to fit (mounted on a rised plate)
    the frame has a very tight geometry, can fit 23c tyre max.

    when I moved to Uk the friend that packed it up and sent to me did not remove the chain and it was pressed on the chainstay denting it. a tiny repair was neded and super ted did it, was a two mm brazing, definitely nothing structural.

    I'd ask 370 £ for the lot...

    thanks for checking it out!

    Paul is a good guy, I did some business with him when I moved to uk 2 years ago (I was selling him some stuff I was bringing from italy) he is a decent mechanic but not good at building wheels in my experience...

    Nice shot Jordan, I love the look of medium format, you just can't get that kinda dynamic range on smaller slides/sensors.

    What?!

    anyway...up for a session today??
