    Can anyone help ID this frame and is it still rideable?

    I thought so too. Unfortunately so because its a light and pretty frame. Those holes are all in the one chainstay, probably had more water\mosture in it than other partd of the frame

    Can anyone help ID this frame and is it still rideable?

    Hi, I bought this frame without looking carefully (luckily for $ next to nothing) a few years ago and its been hanging in the shed since. I am just now deciding whether to fettle and build it or leave it be, wondering if the tiny rust holes on the underside of one chain stay mean it's...

    thanks definitely agree re the decals being potentially misleading. I've seen Columbus squadra corse decals on Al and steel frames although this one is clearly steel, they are possibly later add ons.
