hey i'm tempted with your frame, does it have a fork? could i see the pics of the frame if possible? are u sure that it is 99? coz i found an archive in orange.co.uk but there was no gringo line up in year 99 particularly.. is it alu or CR-MO?
does it look like this? btw how's the paintjob? does it need repainting?

How about a nice Italian frame? My Scapin is up for grabs.
It'sa '96, size 19" with a 22.25" top tube, of Dedacciai zero uno tubing. I bought it NOS just over a year ago, but it's been used very little since it is slightly too small, and due to illness, I haven't been able to ride it.
Made in Italy, 2.05kg, Fantastic handling! Very stable at speed yet super agile in the twistys.
Pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16732514@N ... 737589623/

I can do some more recent ones if you're interested.
I'm after £125 plus postage for the frame, including Isis and Octo bottom brackets (Italian thread)

nice frame mate! id really love one, tell me whats the seat post diameter it uses? as far i can see there its more than 29.9 im sure.. coz im quite tall for and need a beefy seatpost.. back home i have 1995 BULLS with 29.9 seatpost, and it's just perfect for me. so i suppose this should also fit. p.s whats the story with that BB? the italian thread differs from the english one. has been a while since ive been looking for a bike.. whats the condition of that BB?

and.. the headset is...? 1/1/8?

Quoi? Moi?
The seatpost is 26.8mm. I have a long Salsa one, that is Very strong, I can include for £20. Head tube is 1 1/8".
Both the BBs are in tip top condition. I think one has a few marks on the outer flange where someone tried to remove it with mole grips :roll:
The Zero uno tubeset has a reputation for being STRONG. The butts are longer than similar pipes, but the frame is still reasonably light. It accelerates like a scolded cat!
If the top tube was an inch longer, there's no way I'd be selling.
