My Simoncini Cyclocross Special was probably built in 1994. It features 130mm spacing between the dropouts and it lacks downtube shifter bosses. I purchased the frameset without any components. I had most of the parts on hand to build a 3x7 Shimano drivetrain using Suntour Barcons. The first rebuild looks like something from 1980, especially with the non-aero brake levers and the high flange hubs.
