Cool frame
 

This frame is up for trade, I'd like an Italian frame in 52-53cm.

I've seen this frame before...its an early CF by like Bianchi or something right?

I honestly don't know, I had it posted a long while back (it was blue then) but no one could figure it out, I gave it to a buddy of mine but he had no time to complete the build.

the treatment of the shifter bosses and seat post look different from the '88 Bianchi C-4 carbon. I only ever saw one though.

I thought is might be an early Kestral

Perhaps thats where i've seen it before...

Bianchigirl, you're right...definitely not the 80's Bianchi C4

I wish it was the C4 pictured above! Then I wouldn't trade it as I'd have the Italian frame I'm looking for! LOL! I'm actually looking for an Italian lugged frame. ;0)

That was my first guess too.

Oh man, I remember this thing... it had a Campy sticker on it when you first got it. It's the kind of frame only a mother could love. :)

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks that this could build up to a kinda ugly bike.........

Chombi

Lumpy.

It's different that's for sure,I would have to build it just to say I did it. Wonder what it would ride like.

If the color was a murky brown, it could've been designed by H. R. Giger.

I love that frame. I wish I had something to offer you.

garage inventor....

Possible a Kestrel EMS, circa 1994-1996.
The EMS preceded the AirFoil...

Workmanship and Campy dropout supports a hand-made one-off.

i too suspect a one-off. too many flaws in the surface for that to be any sort of production machine. (i know there are tons of flawed production bikes, bad brazing etc, but that thing..... there's just too much going on.)

I think we can all agree this is a very unusual frame. This thread is fine for identifying it and comparing it, etc.

Let's confine the for-trade aspect to the appropriate thread in C&V Sales. (strong hint).

Thanks.
