I was directed over here from the road cycling forum-
I just got this frame- a Fondriest
http://i14.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/23/9e/3dd1_1.JPG
Does anyone have any info?

its chromoly- or "cromolly" as it says on the sticker- megachrome dedacciai tubing

on the BB it says 57RUS and 10748

Someone said it was a Fondriest Megachrome- I have no idea
Thanks!

i would agree with that guess... the megachromes usually had a decal saying so. it would be that tubing sticker above the fondriest logo on the seat tube (which is most likely dedacchai)

At the time things were in transition. Threadless wasn't the dominant standard overnight.
