A Nova 55 cm frame from around 2002, it has titanium stays and a Easton Scandium front triangle. In great condition as seen in the pics.
It comes with a Columbus Tusk carbon fork (1 1/8 aluminum steerer). Also included is a Ritchey internal headset with a carbon bearing cover, seatpost collar and cable-stops.
It had a silver and black paint job when I bought it. The paint was in mint condition but I felt it looked dated, so I decided to strip it as I prefer the modern Passoni look of bare metal. I also re-designed the decals in the current style.
As you can see from the close-up pics I've polished the frame, but not to a mirror finish. I wanted to see the material and workmanship - the fine sanding marks of the original builder for example. But it would certainly be possible with a bit of time and effort to get it super shiny. Or of course, repaint the front triangle, I had ideas of British Racing Green at one point. There is a full set of spare black decals included to make these options easier.
The numbers:
Frame size: 55 x 55 cm c-c
BB: English
Seatpost size: 27.2
£400 SOLD
