Weird early 90s Coppi...
Hey Guys,
Need some help to identify this coppi i recently purchase from ebay. comes with a veloce headset not much info provided by the seller. All he could say is its a early 90s frame with columbus tube. I can't tell what columbus tube its from since the sticker is almost gone.
Googled it but didn't find anything similar to this. Its lugged and has a horizontal drop. The seat stays are not connected to the top tube. Read somewhere that this geometry/build was banned by UCI at some point (remember reading it somewhere but can't seem to find the source now).
This is definitely not build by pelizzoli.
I want to know if this is worth building up as geared (campy veloce groupo) or i can ride it as ss.
