tell us more about the scapin?
I sell it one of you guys for $600!!! (cost me $980) but it came without a fork. I rode it for 3 weeks.
Leon at Pro Motion thinks I'm a d1ckhead 'coz i don't love it.

It's 58x57, silver, Italian BB, curved seat stays, vertical drop-outs, Columbus Genius,
162mm 1" headtube, "old style" thin tubing. weighs 1670g without bolts and bits.

But like I said, I reckon the steering was way too twitchy, and I was getting speed wobbles (could be too heavy: 87kg). Leon said I had the wrong fork, but I don't really think 2.5mm of extra rake would make a huge difference.

I emailed Scapin, and they seemed to think is was very old stock....dunno.
