I would be all over this one too. Very cool colorway that can be taken in so many directions.
Reminds me of another C&V item inspired by the works of Piet Mondrian.

got this off marketplace locally - not even a special "friend" or family" price - well worth buying.
Fits me decent shape - most important - well worth buying.
300$ CAN - Knowing Canadian prices, that's cheap - well worth buying
sellers pics - seller didn't make any effort to make it look good, yet it looks good - well worth buying.

My uncle has a track bike that I never got around to getting back on the road despite expressing some interest... Years ago I probably came to this forum before I was a member and did some research and I believe it is a Limongi. The craftsmanship on the frame is beautiful and subtle. This example looks wonderful - especially for the price!

Limongi made some very nice bikes. Mine is pretty much original except for the brake levers since it had been converted to flat bars

I know that the earlier Limongi frames were made in France, so wondering at what point that later Limongi-branded frames appeared after the years when they were produced in New Jersey under Mike Fraysee's Paris-Sport label(?).
I've got one of the older ones, it's a bike that I found to support some of my very best split times and average speeds on rides between Folsom and the low foothills!

Mine dates to 1994 Columbus SLX, Cinelli Brake bridge and BB (Italian threading) and fork crown. The build quality is second to none. Even better than the Cinelli I owned. Mine wears DA 7700.
At $300 it would be a bargain at twice that.
