If I've been looking for 2 months for a frame with requirements
1) 62/64cm frame (I'm 6'4")
2) italian heritage
3) preferably original in decent shape
Add $100 estimated shipping, this would cost me $250 total.
Does this look like a good deal? My goal is to find a frame with the above that I can modernize (maybe forbidden here, lol), ie spread the front/rear to 110/130mm. This is my first project bike.
Thanks!
The Bottecchia is listed as 64cm ST, 60cm TT. That's a pretty short top tube if you're 6'4. Do you have any idea of what top tube length works for you?
