FS: Gianni Motta Personal 2001R 52cm frame and fork
SOLD
[EDIT: It appears that the frame was mislabeled when re-painted, and it is most likely a Personal model, rather than a Personal 2001R.]
Hey guys!
I hate to be selling this, but I think it's a tiny bit too small for me, and as the current crisis hit me pretty hard financially, some stuff will have to go. I'll be posting more parts in the following weeks, so stay tuned.
Here is a fantastic Gianni Motta Personal2001R 52 cm steel frame. The paint is brand new, all done by a pro at the Marinoni factory near Montreal. The bike has never been built since, so this is as shiny as it gets, really! This bike is light and majestic looking. I would have loved to have it built, but the universe had other plans.
The frame includes:
-Original steel fork
-Gipiemme headset
-120mm Cinelli Stem
-40 cm Cinelli Giro D'Italia handlebar (I can change it for a 42 cm handlebar, just let me know what's your personal preference)
-Black Ritchey Comp 2-bolt seatpost (the lightest I found, weighting less than 250g)
-Plastic Gianni Motta handlebar plugs (bought new from eBay, 100% fake)
The seatpost is 27.0 mm but I still had to sand it down to make it fit. Just let me know if you prefer not to have it and I'll take it out.
Of course, you can let me know if you have any questions and I'll be pleased to answer. I can also send additional pictures upon request.
Measurements (c-c):
Seat tube: 52 cm
Top tube: 53 cm
Down tube: 60 cm

Giovanni Motta was a customer of mine at a bike shop in NYC. But not that Gianni Motta. He had just learned that he shared his name with a famous cyclist. He is a statistician at Columbia University.

Hey Alex! The seat tube is 52 cm and the top tube is 53 cm (all measurements are center to center). I'm not sure about the down tube, so I'll have a look later today!

OK, questions, this frame does not have the trans-tork seat stays? Would that alone not make it a 2000 or lesser model as opposed to a 2001? Does the BB have dual stiffing/reenforcement fins? The rear dropouts are brazed into the seat stays and not over over the seat stays correct, difficult to distinguish from your pictures?

I, too, was curious about the TransTork seat stay reference in the advert.
I dug up this old thread which helped mark the differences between the Personal 2001 and the 2000:

This quote from Ex Pres in particular from that thread was helpful in explaining the TransTork stays.Be sure to click the "Here's a pic" link in the quote below:
Nice frame regardless.

The trans-tork seatstays are "bent" in above the brake bridge. Easily distinguishable. If it just looks like a normal seatstay then you have a Personal 2000, like mine. From that pic I would guess yours has them.
Here's a pic in the catalog of the T-T seatstay
The date code will be on the back of the crank arm. Should say something like 175 STRADA <4>, with the number in a circle or a diamond. That number will be the date code.

Yep, I am calling it mis-labled and hopefully not deception, however certainly of lesser value. Agreed nice paint scheme.

m_sasso gaucho777 Thank you very much for the heads up on what appears to be a clear case of mis-labeling. I just took as many pictures as I could of the tricky parts of the bike so that it's easier to identify the correct model. Bike was not mine when it was re-painted. It was sold to me by a trusted person, so I didn't do much research after that.
Forgive me for this error, it was certainly not my intention to mislead anyone.

What I did find a little ironic - the paint scheme on the frame for sale was what I initially planned to do with mine; but I ended up copying the paint scheme on the bike in the link I provided.
Turns out I would have liked the Italian flag colors.
