How about I revive this thread again for this beauty I picked up today. Made through until around page 17 before I saw another one of this. This is an Italian made monocoque frame with various alloy pieces glued to it. This one is a C4 Air One from sometime in the 90's as best I can tell. C4 started making bikes around 1986 and stopped around 2003 or so according to their history. They are still around as a company making diving gear.
This was a local find today from an old racer who lives about 5 miles from me. Had a really sweet Cannondale Saeco team bike also available. Presented to him by Cannondale.
Any the bike as I brought it home, 19 lbs 10 ozs
Red and Italian, it has to be fast!
And this a quick set of pics after I did a quick clean and polish as well as degreasing and lubing 'er up.
I think this is a Cinelli Grammo Titanium stem
Frame is in pretty good shape
Not sure yet how the seatpost clamp works, looks like some divets in the seatpost from it.
Air One
I suspect that how area has an alloy piece, beefy dropout
