So, as i've been looking more and more into getting a nice steel frame, I found out that Giovanni Pelizzoli, or Ciocc, is still making bikes, and they're not that expensive.

So far they have good reviews, and i think they're even available in old-stock Columbus SL. I wanted a Ciocc in the first place - but they go on ebay for around $1000, and they're all 80s frames, so they don't have 130mm rear spacing.

I thought, how awesome would it be to get a custom bike from the man himself?

I emailed the shop yesterday morning, and I havent gotten a response. Anyone know what's going on with them? I'm considering emailing them again but I don't want to be all stalker ex-girlfriend about it.
