OK - I'll post more pics on my blog now that I have the actual frame. It's fantasic - Couldn't be happier - at 60 dollars, plus 20 to ship it...Not sure how good that is, but sound cheep to me...

I'm posting a bunch of random stuff these days, so juts croll and look for the red vintage frame. I'm trying to figure out what it is.

Anyway, here's what I know:

Fork threads - ID 22mm, OD 25mm, Height from top of fork crown 233mm

Seat Post - ID 27mm

BB Shell - ID 35mm, Over all Width 70 mm

There was a bottom bracket cup on the drive side, that after a little rust removal, I found out was a "Magistroni Senior" Bottom bracket. Threads on the drive side were "lefty loosey"

on the top of the right fork crown, there is a little cross design that seems to be painted on - looks like two X's = like XX , but the two x's touh each other - if that makes sense.

The paint was a silver paint with a light film of red over it - maybe original? the lugs were outlined originally in what looks like yellow. Rear Drops are 120mm. and there is only a serial # on th bottom of the BB Shell. The forks weigh a ton, relative to the weight of the frame...And clearly the cable braze ons under the downtube screams for either bar-end shifters or for stem shifters, right?

Again - Any help identifying this would be helpful.

Oh - and the Rear Derailler Hanger is threaded, and the Drops are stamped campagnolo front and rear.


Once i identify the bike - I can start to put together an ideal list of components - of the right vintage and nationality - and start to assemble - very excited...
