Anyone ever heard of Di Pierri frame manufacter?

[Mariusz]

Hi,
I am new here. I have just bought Di Pierri bicycle.
Previous owner has little knowledge about this brand.
He said it is French or Dutch framebuilder.
No info in internet.
Any thoughts?

Welcome, @Mariusz !

I have seen one before. It was offered for sale by a Dutch bicycle collector named Pierre. I'm guessing that this may well be his personal branding on a repainted frame.

It's a new name to me, but it looks a quality build

Thanks for answers. I wrote to this guy:
https://www.marktplaats.nl/u/pierre/3576960/ but received no answer.
So please explain me this cause I don't get it:
some private collector in Netherlands buys some damaged frames like bianchi, colnago etc , restore them put new paint and add his personal decals?
Or is he some kind of frambuilder that built frame from columbus tubes and paint them?
My frame has colubus logo "engraved" on rear dropouts (not my photo)
Also I am adding some photos of bottom bracket. It says BRANDS.

I would say that 'Brands' is probably the frame builder.

Brands Amsterdam

I believe the "Brands" on the BB shell does indeed refer to the well-known Amsterdam bike shop, which sold a lot of nice bikes under their own name. But to the best of my knowledge they did not build their own frames, but sourced those elsewhere. The Brands I own has a Reynolds frame and came from Gazelle's racing shop.

One builder associated with Brands' Columbus frames is Peter van de Klundert, owner of Sirocco.
