il Diavolo or il Piratas workpiece

[gridno27]

Here comes my newest entrance of my small Probike Replica collection
It is a Columbus EL frame set made by Podium in 1994 Carrera-Tassoni Colours.

I found it in Vienna - and the seller referred to an email of sales Manager of Podium,
that this Frame set was used by Carrera-Tassoni Cycling Team in 1994/95
Frame size suit for Pulnikov or Pantani himself ... but who knows ...

That is a real beauty.
I really like Carreras at the best of times but this is one of the best I've seen. Connections to the great man or not, your a fortunate man
How did you find it?
More of everything please, pictures, info etc
Thanks for sharing

Re:

I'm with Jamie, that's one gorgeous machine. connection or not.

I'm in the process of putting together a 1994 podium carrera, it was only supposed to be a bit of fun and a fairly low key affair. Having ridden it though it feels so good I'm already pondering a few upgrades.

cheers for sharing and +1 for more details...how does it ride?

Re:

Beautiful bike and with some history behind still better.
I like bikes from that era the most. Finishing touches right now on a Mavic equipped KG96 like the O.N.C.E. raced.

Re:
