this was oh so tempting

Heh, yes, the frame I have is nicely made.

They're about the same aren't they? bar the colour

I have had another Italian delivery today too...

I have a Simoncini road bike that I love and have been looking for one of these for a few years.

Yes, I think so, although I reckon my Moser is a 1993 model because of the Oria tubing

Oooh, that is very nice - I love the colour on that (and the 'varnished by' label!!) Did you get the whole bike or the frameset?

(As I'm sure you know) Amelio Binachi was an artisan builder - that makes it even more special in my eyes - it's likely unique

The frameset (frame forks stem and bottle cage)
To save weight with postage mainly, also it shouldn't be too hard or expensive to spec it up as the raced spec as on his site.

Yes, it's why I bought it, I wanted an Artisan Italian frame, and as soon as I first saw this it was love at first sight. More conservative than the typical Italian MTB and a collectors piece for keeps. At first I thought it was an early actual Bianchi, but after reading the description I was even more delighted. The colour is as on BMW's from the era, but it reminds me of a Maserati

Oh Man! That is absolutely Gorgeous. The Tricolor paint, the curves and it just oozes quality. Tell me more! Where from? I haven't heard of the maker

Definitely a Maserati!! ( I love them too haha )

There is something special about the history of these artisan makers. I'm intrigued by how so many in Italy have the same surname Two Bianchis, and Three Losers (Four if you include Francesco's Dad!)

Though it doesn't take an expert to recognize an artisanal frame of exquisiteness

It's a bit special. I have a Simoncini road bike now because I needed another bike
