Bikes: 1959 Capo Modell Campagnolo; 1960 Capo Sieger (2); 1962 Carlton Franco Suisse; 1970 Peugeot UO-8; 1982 Bianchi Campione d'Italia; 1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10;

If the geometries and lugs are the same, and if both frames are made out of high-grade moly steel (either CrMO or MnMo), they will probably ride, corner, climb, and sprint almost identically. I have been told by a bicycling metallurgist that the Tange Prestige Plus CrMo tubing on my Schwinn is probably better than Columbus tubing of the same vintage (1988).
