Frames and Framebuilding (1985) Dream Machines -- Six Exotic Frames

TOMMASO SLX, BIEMMEZETA Cronostar, VITUS 979 Duralinox, VITUS Plus-7 Carbone, ALAN Record Carbonio, and MASI 3/V Volumetrica are featured.

At the end of the article, a side bar provides a brief overview of a survey conducted among 24 US framebuilders and published in Bike Tech.
A pdf copy of that article is attached.

SpeedofLite,
I really enjoyed this read, I never heard about the "Biemmezeta Chronostar". I did a google search for a little more information on the maker and it seemed to be either a love or hate relationship. I will be on the lookout for one and hope it will be my size.
From BF:
Looking for info on: Biemmezeta
Read from another forum:

Best, Ben

Great blast from the past!!! Thanks for posting.

I remember reading this issue back then, and lusting after the 3V.
