Ok, good point. That BB certainly looks completely different. I don't see any builder mark on mine. I used a 3m abrasive brush to clean off the surface rust and reveal the serial, though I don't...

Thank you -- very helpful! Yes, also a bit concerned here, though the paint looks like it was brushed/rolled on very thick. There are also those "Conlago" decals, which may be contributing. ...

Help identifying this (late-80s?) Italian (?) frame

I could use some help identifying this (late 80s?) frame. The seller had apparently been given this bike by a taller friend (who had clearly evolved this bike over the years), so he [the seller]...

I think that once the tire blows off the rim it is probably shot, though, (right?) so remounting it and seeing a deformity might be expected. At least, that is what I would expect, but I've only had...

Just thought I would throw out my +1 for G-One tires. I've spent a fair bit of time on 40mm ("700x38") G-One Allround and a lot less time on Panaracer GravelKing SK 43mm. The GravelKings aren't bad...
