55cm Cigno - lovely & now with pics SPLITTING!!

55cm top and seat tubes

Handbuilt by Dirk Van Hout at Cigno (http://www.cigno.be/index.html), a small builder in Belgium - believed early 90's frame set.

Very nicely built with lovely Cinelli lugs and Dedaccai tubing that mimics Columbus Gilco in that the tubes are crimped into a star profile, like Colnago Master frames of the same era. Really special multi colour paint, very Colnago-esque. The detailing on the lugs, crown and seat cluster is all gorgeous.

The frame is in very nice condition with only a few nicks in the paint. The silver fade areas are bubbling in some places but it's not too bad. I wouldn't consider having it resprayed, partly because it would cost a fortune to have a similar paintjob and partly because getting hold of the decals would be a nightmare!

It's built with a nice spec made up of mainly 9 speed 105 components, plus Campagnolo Daytona cranks with new Record outer ring. It has just been fitted with brand new NOS 3TTT Status stem and Forma SL bars, and a brand new Planet X seatpost. It has Open Pro CD rims built on 105 hubs. Look pp247 pedals.

Looks and rides fantastic.

£450 now £425

Hi, can you tell me what the tubing is please.

Also what is the head tube length

and is the '55cm' measurement of the seat tube to the top or centre.

you don't say what you'd take for the frame/forks/headset

might also be interested in the stem and bars and the rolls and maybe even the wheels too
