I took another flyer on a frame - this one a 80's Vetta with Columbus SL tubing - in seemingly excellent condition.

Not much information out there - Antionio Taverna is the builder and the Italian website is www.vetta.it They appear to be a very small custom builder but any other information would be appreciated.

BTW - I paid $250 for the frame and Cinelli fork.

Saddles leapt to mind when I saw "vetta". I see nothing in my copy of the Bicycle Buyer's guide about the builder. Looks/sounds like a nice frame, and you have a bit of mystery too for no additional charge. :)

I second the saddle reference. Can't recall a frame. Very nice though.

Saddles yes along with computers. Makes it harder to find information about the frames.

But is it straight? Just a wee bit worried when a frame-builder's called 'Taverna' !!!:D

Nice looking frame, love the full chrome rear triangle. Does the brake cable run inside that tube on the top tube? Never seen a set up like that before.

Now you need to do a Dura Ace build so I'm not the only one ;-)
