Seems like a nice little frame, just wondering about folks' thoughts.

Looks like a small dent, hard to tell from the photo, but looks fairly minor.

Nice looking frame. If the size and price is right, I'd jump on it.

I just got a Cromor Faggin for $35 plus shipping from Italy, so I might be a bit on the spoiled side at the moment. $149euro is the asking price at the moment, including shipping.

Took the plunge on the Cassani...$130 including shipping from Italy. Probably too much, but with a change in plans from the Faggin due to the bottom bracket issue, I had to put the Dura Ace on something...I am such a knucklehead...



Losa built, minor dent.


Oh no...major dent!!


Losa bottom bracket


Blue...again...


I even get shifters, headset and some unidentifiable bottom bracket.
