WTB: Steel lugged frame, 57-58 top tube
Looking for race type geo, not touring or going slow to smell the roses. Steel lugged, horizontal top tube 57-58cm. I can ride a 61cm c-t seat tube as long as the top tube is within range. My Serotta Atlanta is 58 square and works quite well. Condition should be good to very good. Pretty paint is a plus. Brand or tubing is not so important but SLX or EL-OS would be dandy. Italian, American, Japanese, etc.. It will have a modern brifter drivetrain so nothing that would make that impossible.

Does it need to be lugged? I'm considering selling my Somec ProMax in about your size. Made from Columbus Max tubing. Definitely race geo. I think it's got a 57.5 tt.

Surely not as nice as an MXL, but I have a Concorde SLX frame that I THINK fits your size parameters. Would have to measure to be sure. Not looking for maximum value or anything. I - THINK - it's even spaced 128 in the rear.
Edit - I checked an old PM discussing this frame and it's (ctc):
TT- 57cm
St - 58cm
Condition is subjective...I'd call it good, but it does have scratches as I recall. Obviously I can take better photos if you're interested.

Somec Promax (these are all my measurements, being as accurate as I can be):
CTC: 58, CTT: 60
Top Tube: 57.0
Headtube: 16.1 (no cups)
Headtube w/cups: 20.5
Stack: 57.2 (to center of headtube w/o cups)
Reach: 40.6 (same)
Some sort of Campy headset, too.
I can sell either frame/fork/HS or complete. More photos here.

Basso with SL tubing. 59 CCT seat tube and 58 CTC top tube. It has some paint chips that were touched up but the color match isn't great.

I've got a 70's Reynolds 531 Lime green and chrome Mercier 300 frameset if French is of interest or a possibility.

Interesting frames for sure. The French frame is not for me really but thanks. It will probably come down to the color and nothing more.

I haven't ruled anything out yet but still looking to see what else might pop up. Who's got a Serotta? I might I need another one.
