Late 70's early 80's frame

[carlmoffett]

I am looking for an interesting road frame from this era. Something like a 753 or a classic Italian frame such as Colnago Super or Mexico.

I ride 58cm ctc seat tube ie 23.5 inch ctt.

Re:

What's your max top tube length?

 

[carlmoffett]

57.5cm is probably as long as I would like to run.

Thanks

Re:

I've a gorgeous refurbished Gios Torino Super Record frame; 1980; but it's 58.5 tt

If I hear of anything, I'll put you onto it.

That's a shame as a Gios would fit the bill. Many thanks for your help.

That's beautiful but the size of a garden gate. Best of luck selling it.

I have a 56 cm (CtT seat tube/ CtC toptube) 1974 Colner and a 57 cm (will check tomorrow as I'm not completely sure) 1982 Colnago Mexico Profil.

That's a first gen Gios SR... it's probably 1977 or 78

Hi thanks Wim. I am going to stick to 58cm -58.5cm seat tube ctc as I want the more traditional look of a shorter seat post. I rode a 23.5inch frame back in the 80's. Carl
