Vintage Faggin “Donna” step through with pump peg and race geometry
$500 - Complete bike located in southern California. I prefer not to part out my bike.
Serviced fairly recently, and has original paint and decals. The drive train is Shimano Deore with a Sugino triple crank.
Standover height and the effective TT length:
20.5" or 50.8cm from center crank to tube top entry. Exactly the same from center handle bar stem to center seat post stem. Distance from center crank to top step over bar at seat post tube = 9.5 inches. Distance from that point up to tube top = 10.5 inches Ground to center crank = 10 inches.
Discussion thread:
bikeforums.net/classic-vintage-bicycles-whats-worth-appraisals/1246467-faggin-ladies-frame.html
We took it to a local bike shop to inquire about the value and shipping. They pointed out that a cable braze on was broken so I am attaching a picture of it and will add it to the listing. The owner of the shop said it is only cosmetic and has no structural impact on the frame. Apparently the last shop that serviced it broke it and never said anything when I picked it up.
Received a PM asking if it was rust or a decal/sticker residue below the seat cluster. It is what is left of that decal. The only rust is a minimal amount on the screws connecting the toe clips to the pedals. There are no dents but small scratch/blemishes you would find on a bike of this vintage. It has always been housed indoors and was never ridden competitively.
Shipping is $45 for the box and anywhere from $75+ depending on distance through a bike shipping company via local shop. PM an address and I can get a firm quote.

I received this response from Cristina at Faggin:
"The bike looks like new, it is very well maintained.
The frame and fork are made of steel. You should look under the bottom bracket if there are any numbers printed, from these numbers I can give you the information you asked for.
Please take photos of the details: rear vertical near the saddle where there is the faggin writing, the rear dropout etc."
And after sending her the attached photos this was her response:
"The frame with the fork was built in the year 1988 for our American importer, I see that it is tunuto (very well kept), the bicycle can be worth from 400/600 €."
