Pearson or Cinelli?
I just purchased a frameset that has vinyl decals with "Pearson" on the all the tubes and a "P" on the head tube. I can't find much of anything on Pearson bikes and the frame has "Cinelli" on the bottom bracket. The dropouts (rear and fork) are Columbus but there are no other identifying marks to determine the steel type or manufacturer of the bike. The BB does have a four number Serial Number "3879".
1) Is the frameset Pearson or Cinelli?
2) Pearson frameset with Cinelli BB and lugs?
3) If the dropouts are Columbus, is it likely the tubes, stays, and fork are also Columbus?
The frame with the Campagnolo headset weigh 6.02 pounds with a 55cm top tube and 57cm seat tube.
I'd post pics of it but I have not reached 10 post yet.
