W/ free shipping? Who knows. $125? $150. I'll venture a guess and say the reserve is considerably higher.

I have a nearly identical looking mino denti #574 which was made in 1981, so based on the frame no. (372) I'd guess it's from late 1980 or early 1981. Unusual head tube angle; looks almost vertical. That will make for one very stiff ride. I noticed that the frame doesn't have any tubing manufacturer decals given that it has all the frame builder's decals. I'm not sure what that means if anything. My frame and all other denti's I've seen from that era have tubing manufacturer decals on the seat tube and forks; (my frame has Columbus SLX decals).

I have a Mino Denti frame with serial # 462. I wonder what year it was made.
The paint is pretty rough but it appears to be a nicely built frame. I expect it is Columbus tubing as well.
It did not come with the original fork but with a chrome Tange replacement fork. I have been gathering parts to build it up & see if I like the ride and then perhaps get it painted if I do.

Thanks for any help.

no
Hummm... I found out that SLX wasn't generally available until 1984. I mistakenly recalled purchasing the Denti before I got my 82 Stumpjumper. Anyway, I must have purchased the #574 Denti in '84. I'm sure it wasn't after because I had it with me when I moved to the Bay area in '85. Now I'm really curious. Let see if I can track down the original sales reciept. I found the one for my 1980 Freschi frame, so there's a good chance I still have the one for the Denti frame too after all these years.
