I don't have enough forum karma yet (long time lurker, first time poster) to post my own thread. But I'm asking about the blue bottecchia listed above.
If I've been looking for 2 months for a frame with requirements
1) 62/64cm frame (I'm 6'4")
2) italian heritage
3) clearance for at least 32mm tires (prefer 35 but thats never gonna happen I think)
4) preferably original in decent shape
Add $100 estimated shipping, this would cost me $250 total.
Does this look like a good deal? My goal is to find a frame with the above that I can modernize (maybe forbidden here, lol), ie spread the front/rear to 110/130mm. This is my first project bike.
Thanks!

Where do you live? $100 shipping is a hefty percentage of a $150 frameset, if there's any chance of finding something locally. OTOH, big Italian framesets that fit 32's are darn rare no matter where you are!

Holdsworth Whirlwind - Yeovil £1700 collection only
Fancy lugs, I think 1953 - 1956
Only the 2nd one I've seen advertised, way out of my price range.

Yes, everything from a Jefferson Starship album, wedding china (Lennox Aristocrat), sausage stuffer, gravy/fat separator, to a Della Santa road bike.

A relatively new one at that (threadless stem, indexed shifting, many cogs), so the dearly departed was likely adding to the stash relatively recently.
