I worked at the importer around '96. They (Scapin) had funny solutions, like specialy made crown for the RS to avoid damages to the downtube. They are nice frames. Forum member Yo Eddy has two, both being older. My guess is ±90 and ±92/93. They look a bit less svelte than those of the ±96 era. Yours is probably around 96/97??

I have one. They were very popular in the nineties. I got ia 94 model, in blue, for 150 euros with an xt gruppo, immaculate, and that's almost a normal price!
BTW the bframe in question should be a 94 model as well, the little tube for the brake cable welded on the seat tube is for canti brakes.
The point is that italian steel steeds are not so attrative for us around here. Very fast rig, tho....

I can't believe you put those 2 sentences in the same paragraph.

The Campag off-road stuff I've tried was bobbins.

And as regards knowing what works.... I'd like to add an additional phrase, which is "most of the time"......

I agree with ya chris, the Campag mtb kit looked the business although hardly on a par with SHIMANOS sharp chrisp changes
Still bloody nice hung from the right frame
