New frame....

Picked this up last night for £25 - approx $33USD.

Going to build it up as my winter bike for next winter.

Don't know a huge amount about Ambrosio bikes. I have a set of Ambrosio wheels, which are OK.

It's an Ambrosio Solaro.

Have I got myself a bargain or have I been ripped off?

Any advice guys?

Yeah....aluminium frame/carbon forks. It is pretty light.

Weigh a tonne once I put winter wheels, muddies, lights.....and more lights, on it!
