Avanti Ottadini' 753 F/F sold

Mr Nuts

Dirt Disciple
Avanti Ottadini fram and forks with Reynolds 753 through out Very light and comes with a campag record headset that runs smoothly. The paint work is generally good but there are a few chips, especially on the forks. My preference though would be to keep it, as its such a great finish. It has campag drop outs and a Cinelli BB shell. There are lots of nice touches, like a little cinelli 'c' on the head tube.
measurements are:
seat tube C-T 50.5cm
top tube C - C 53.5cm
130 mm rear spacing.
I've removed a bottle cage bolt that was snapped in one of the braze-ons
so all it good to go. I'm looking for £160 collected from Forest Hill, happy to ship at cost.

In terms of the frames provenance this is what I found:

The two main references to Ottadini's on the net cite them as A: being produced by Colin Laing for Eddy McGourley at Pedal Sport Cycles in Sunderland,http://www.hill-special.co.uk/history.html
and B: moving to the US of A courtesy of her majesty's secret service ....

Would have been nice, but I need to sell it before I go away and didn't want to cross post. Thanks for the vigilance though.
