Luongo?
So I have a chance to get this guy for, well, a good price for the frame and some extras. I Haven't been able to find any info on Luongo's bikes other than what the seller told me on the phone.
Apparently he only built high end stuff and this one was built for a euro team and didn't end up getting used? The frame was built in Switzerland and it seems Mr Luongo was/is a master framebuilder. *Disclosure* this isn't going to be raced on the track, but its not going on velospace either. This is going to be my 9-5 work bike (unless its pouring) Any thoughts or experiences with Luongo? http://picasaweb.google.com/adamwils...03471256799746 |
I initially thought you were buying a bike from Roberto Luongo which would have been cool. I've never heard of this Luongo though.

thanks for the responses guys.
I originally had this thread double posted in CV and Track but Unterhausen moved it here. Considering that Luongo hasn't built since the 90's and he made mostly high end custom racing frames I figured that the street fixed forum wasn't the best place (it isn't). But because I insinuated I'm a messenger he got all whatever and put it in SS/Fixed. Anyway, I bought the bike, it rides great, easily the best steel frame, road or track I've ever owned. Italian bb was a bit of a pain, and there's a ton of toe overlap. Once I get a minute I'll post some pics. Right now I'm trying to figure out what kind of columbus tubing it was built from. |
I would like to see what Tuuka and the Bruins can do to Luongo. Oh sorry wrong Luongo.

go canucks go!

here's my guess...29.4 post + TIG + those beefy chainstays = EL-OS. |
