Hello all,
I was thinking of buying a Condor Acciaio - a nice oversize steel road frame in Dedacciai Zero Replica.
However, I thought I'd first check on here as to whether anyone had anything similar, possibly from the mid nineties onwards, that they'd be willing to part with. I've had good results on here before when I bought a very nice 631 Woodrup Track frame, so I thought I'd try again. What I'm looking for can be summed up by:
Light - 1800 grams or less for the frame
Oversized frame - (1.125" top tube diameter, 1.25" down tube) or "super oversize" (1.25 top, 1.375 down)
Lugged or welded or fillet brazed
A nice steel - Columbus SLX / Genius / Life / Spirit or Reynolds 853 or Dedacciai Zero
Paint condition - either scruffy enough to warrant a respray or very good (so it doesn't need a respray)
As an added bonus: 1 1/8" head tube diameter - so I can stick a 400 gram carbon fork in it!
Size - 54cm (ctt) seat tube and 54.5cm (ctc) top tube (or effective top tube for compact frames) is ideal
So, does anyone have anything they'd be willing to part with? De Rosas, Tommasinis, Colnago, etc. particularly welcome
Thanks, Neil.
