Ital Tecno out of New York. I bought my last frame from them, the rims in this thread and some other small bits over the years. I suspect they went out of business, the economy is nasty out there. Also, it wasn't the full price, only a deposit and the CC company has already credited my account, it is now their problem.
I tried my LBS but he doesn't carry the brand and didn't want to do a minimum order. Tom at GVH has one coming, didn't even want a deposit. He just wrote my name down and said I have dibs.

I had a bad ebay experience with Ital Tecno. They sold me some shoes that were not as listed. Listed NOS when they were clearly used, and with mismatched/missing cleats and hardware.
They gave a full refund after I made some noise, but it was a hassle and it reflected badly on their business practices IMO.
Sounds like Tom at GVH is taking good care of you, so hopefully this is playing out well after all.

Alright, this is the last component and probably the last of anything for a while. The frame may or may not come until March. Damn foreigners, if this frame was made in the US, I would have it, well, in April. 
Did I let the cat out of the bag about the frame? If not, let's make it interesting. The first correct guess of the frame AND size (I can't make it too easy) will win a six-pack of a fine malted beverage (think Spotted Cow, etc.) to be picked up at any BFNIC organized ride (that I attend
). So let the guessing commence.
The cranks.

This is starting to remind me of a certain short play by Beckett.

This is your last chance to guess and win a fine set of malted beverages. Make/model/size needed to win. Hint: You will need sunglasses to gaze upon its magnificence.
