I am restoring my old DeBernardi that had some dents in the tubing and other issues
The gent who is performing the repairs is done with the frame , but is serving as the go-between for the painter and i am waiting for the correct decals i ordered.
That said --- I cant stay off ebay and Craigslist --- i found what i thought was a similar frameset with The PRo's Closet in the same tubing (Aelle) with a BIN of 200 bucks -- there was an option to make an offer and the offer i made was accepted --- huzzah!
disclaimer for the Aelle/Thron/CroMor haters-- i know Aelle is Columbus's budget tubeset and complete bikes can be had cheap too -- but i am a Clydesdale status gent and the stiff nature of this tubeset is good for that supposedly---- My old bike really treated me right is all i know
Pics below is the new to me frame i am waiting for
I was pretty quick on the trigger on the Bay when my offer was accepted, but it was late and i didnt study ALL the pics that well --- i did not realize that it was a Tre Tubi frameset


.
What the heck -- its pretty --- the tubeset suits my current body type and riding style and it will be fun to build up one of these machines to run fast, and the other to crawl up hills with a triple crankset
I have waaaaay too many projects right now though , so i need to prioritize somehow -- i'll add some pics when photobucket starts cooperating
