Very nice!

Considering that you are the only Montagner owner I've encountered, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on your bike.

How interesting!

Is his surname typical for that area? The name and its pronunciation didn't seem typically Italian to me; I presumed his family might've been from somewhere in the mountainous...

I agree. Even if I had $1,000 to burn, I wouldn't pay that for it; it would just encourage speculation over unidentified frames.

My quandary is, do I tell the seller that it's a Montagner, and...

Well, in the interest of full disclosure, I haven't actually bought the frame yet. The seller is asking a far higher price than I think is appropriate (just under $1k), despite his not even knowing...

The other question that presents itself is -- despite the presence of Columbus decals -- is this frame really made from Columbus tubing, or is it Oria? As I mentioned, the seattube has a fluted...

Yeah, there are other stamps there. The frame's owner has been...less than communicative in response to my questions. Not sure why...

That's what I thought too Why would he hire BMZ to make frames for him? Still, it does have "BMZ" stamped on the BB shell, and I can't think of any other reason why that would be there.

I...

A-ha! This clinches it. Searching for more pics of Montagner bikes, I found this: 456765

The seatstay caps are identical to the ones in the bike I'm asking about.

Well, pretty different, anyway; the fork crown logo is quite similar.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the frame I'm asking about is earlier than yours; I'd say it's from the late-'70s. Do you...

Yes, it's stamped "55" on both sides. I presume that's the diameter of the BB shell.

Thanks for the lead, Juvela.

I guess the main differences -- off the top of my head -- between that frame and this one are that the frame I'm asking about definitely has a Cinelli BB shell,...

anyone recognize "LM" branded frame (made in Italy by Biemmezeta)?

I've recently run across a brand of frame I've never seen before. The frame was made in Italy by Biemmezeta (in the '80s, I presume) -- the BB shell is marked Cinelli and stamped "BMZ" -- but the...
