These are very nice frames, well worth the asking price,. For those of you who remember bigbossman, he loved his. He had some high-zoot bikes (De Roso, Basso-era Pogliaghi, Dancelli, and others I can't recall) and the Palo Alto was the one by which all others were judged. His was built by Biemmezeta - I assume this one is too. (If so, it should have "BMZ" stamped on the underside of the bottom bracket shell.)
Were it my size, I would be hard pressed to pass it up, and I am not looking to add to my fleet. So consider this a bump to (hopefully) get the right buyer's attention.

Is this recessed or nutted brakes? What are the BB and headset threads?
