That frame looks cherry for being stored in the undergrowth. Is it a 55 o5 56?
A testament to the paint, perhaps, as the seat tube and head tube were pretty grody. Don't know how long it was sitting out, but could also be due to the fact that it was a college bike for a while, so it likely stayed out in the rain.
I haven't seen DiNucci's website! I'd seen the new limited edition Allez, which is is brainchild, yes? I'd be curious to see what he is up to.
Based on other 56cm bikes I have, I'd like to call this one a 55, but not sure, as I haven't measured it. When you ask, would that be c-t-c, or c-t-t, usually? In my mind I'm thinking c-t-c, but thought I'd ask.
More and more these days I do a quick glance at the head tube length to get a quick idea of frame sizing, which has proven itself fairly reliable, as long as we are talking about horizontal top tubes, and of course paying no mind to TT length.
