with the exchange rate being what it is, it seems a bit pricey...

it is, thats wahts putting me off at the mo.

There's a list of foreign frames on this forum, and you would have found it there.

I like their stuff.

that link there just leads back to the cicli website which tells me nothing really that groundbreaking. just looking for a bit of personal experiance, hence the thread.

conn artist: My trackbikeshop (or fixie-king if thats what you want to call it) when I first build it up.
(Have posted this in other threads as well)

looks good, did the frame cost the same i have been quated 3300DK?

the fixie king is £430 shippped to the UK the berlinetta is £480. both can come in black my prefered choice.

The frame was twisted in an accident... so fair is fair: Van came across me, engaged my foot/pedal, I was moved forwards under the van and it squished the front fork and left the frame with a twisted footprint, wheels and pedals/cranks were fine and I reckon I've done worse to other frames with much less damage.

fair do's. you made it sound like it twisted out of poor quality build or you are he-man or somehting. hehe.

looks likes these frames may be style over substance at the moment then. look good but may be heavy etc.

i'm also gonna check out the keirin cafe in berlin as i beleive they sell frames also.

all food for throught.

My old Concrode was Aelle, ended up twisted... it's a lightweight but weak tubing (when compared to better), see here:

well i would not want a twisted frame, how did you manage that?

just came across this thread also -

https://www.londonfgss.com/thread5031.html

for 530€ you can choose your own colour without any decals and if you want with drilling for the front. the frame is nice, but the tubing isn't it.

in what way?

surely if its good enough for these guys -

Famous name builders such as Bianchi, De Rosa, Ciocc, Pinarello and Colnago all specified the Columbus tubesets as part of their range.

they're nice. what tubing do they use?

from the full built page -

Tubing - Columbus Aelle

hello,

i have tried to search the forum and found nothing on cicli berlinetta other than people saying to check the shop out if ever they are in berlin. well, i plan to be in about a little over a month and may buy one of there frames. just wondering if anyone on here owns one of their frames, what they think of them - build quality etc, after sales?

any advice would be welcomed?
