I have a thing for Passoni too. I was lucky enough to take a modern Top Force W out for a spin last year and feel in love, pure beauty with ride qualities to match.
I found a Nova frame from around 2001, at a price that didn't involve selling a kidney. It's a couple of sizes too big for me, but to be honest I don't care - it's a Passoni – a short stem goes a long way. It had a fairly dated paint job, so I stripped and polished it (to expose the amazing workmanship), and redesigned the decals in the current look.
It has an Easton Scandium front triangle with titanium stays.
