Lots of money, at least for me (About $600+, delivered!), but it was a nice frame, pretty much brand new looking.

If it was just a little bigger (54 to 56 CM), I would have sold my kidney to get it! Hope the new owner builds it up nice and shows it in this forum!

I saw that bike too, but it's much too small for me (I ride a 58-60 cm). I've thought about buying one of these lugged carbon or aluminum frames (Vitus, especially) and building it up modern parts. Now that would be cool !

Chombi, have't bought anything from the-climb but he's near me and he's always has some cool stuff. If it is nice, it gets sold quick. I was on the fence with a cheap Univega he had and then it was gone a couple days later.

Off-topic, but that Lenton Gran Prix is interesting, too: https://www.the-climb.net/2010/11/ral...gran-prix.html

+1 He can be quite reasonable on some things. I generally find that the parts are the best value, but he follows through. I've bought several times.

his cool stuff moves fast, but he has had that Alan listed for close to a year at the same price, he also claims to not negotiate on pricing. after buying the holland, i text messaged him about another bike with a slightly lower offer than he was asking and was ignored.
that alan is nice, but it's missing some bits and is not complete DA, if that matters

That Holland is stellar. Was too small for me or we'd have been fighting over it.

If you are interested in a C&Vish cf composite, this Look is very nice (it's actually a KG251).
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/bik/2194924690.html
If I hadn't just picked up the KG96, I'd be interested.
The seller and I have been emailing. He is a retired guy who is a C&V collector. Very amenable. He might be willing to ship.
A couple of months ago, I picked up a near cherry 92 Giant Cadex CFR for cheap because it had an 8-speed DA drive train that I wanted for the Look. Last weekend, I built up the Cadex with a mix of RX, Tricolor and 105, and took it for a ride. It is a very robust bike and a great ride.

Dear Chombi
you sent me a private message, but I cannot reply because I have not posted enough on this forum (it makes sense, I understand these policies!)
If you send me a mail at oromisso@gmail.com, I'll then send you back all the info!
best,
Bruno
