browsing ebay I stumbled across a listing offering simply "hand made racing bike"
it had a few interesting details, so long story short, it's now mine, and i'm trying to work out what it is
Headtube lugs
Maker's name? around the brake cable entry port - I can't make it out very well and i'm sorry this photo is a bit cack, i'll try another
Seat Cluster detailing
It also has a race number hanger (this drew me in in the first place) cinelli "spoiler" BB shell, takes a 27.2 seatpost (always a good sign on steel), 126mm back end, a short serial under the BB "30539" (I think, it's quite painty)
Built with late 80s/early 90s stuff (105 7 speed hubs, FC-1050 crankset, early RX-100 downtube shifters and mechs, I don't think this stuff has a lot to say for itself...
any ideas? i'm under no delusions it's anything special just one of the legion of "nice" steel frame of the period.
