WTB High Quality Italian Frame - 60-62cm C-T
Looking for a high quality (lightweight) steel lugged Italian frame with race / sport geometry. Not all-inclusive tubing below, but generally something of similar or greater quality. Ability to run at least 26mm tires. 126 or 130 dropout spacing. I will be building this up to ride, so does not need to be a collector/NIB/showroom piece. Max budget would be $500 but less would be better! Columubus SL, SLX, TSX
Reynolds 531SL or Pro
Tange Prestige
Super Vitus 980
*edited to adjust the size to 60-62cm based on recommendations

57 CTC is probably 58-59 CTT.
You might want to inquire of the seller some more pics but it might fit what you are looking for?
@Bianchigirll or @T-Mar (and others) might also help with their expertise in Bianchis.

BTW, whilst it might not be Italian that Miyata in the for sale section may be worth a closer look.
when your bored just search ebay for Columbus 59 and see what’s there. That’s how I stumbled on my fabulous Cornelo.

I could part with this Italian built Bianchi frameset. All signs point to 1985 with a repaint done in likely the late 80s. Their top three offerings were apparently the same tubing and geometry. Columbus SL probably.
61x59ish ctc.
