Finally bought the frame for my very last project, this one is the last and final bike.Saw many overpriced Cinellis with SLX tubing, many bad condition Lemonds Reynolds 853 frames with rusted bottom brackets and damaged paint, the Tommasini Tecno Extra with the Nemo tubing,the Bottechia Nos Legendaria with the Spirit Tubing, a Pegoretti in average condition, one nice Cinelli with the Neuron Tubing and a Tig welded Torelli but I didn't buy them because their initial cost +import duties + shipping would make things hard for me financially. I found a very rare and uncomon Italian frame ,a Vetta Team fillet brazed made with the high quality Deda ZR01 tubing in truely exceptional condition without ruining mysel financially. Totalweight of frame+ fork is 2.5kilos which isvery good
