Confente #07 has been brought to CyclArt for cleaning and touch-up of a few scratches. We'll also be replacing toestraps and a few corroded fasteners. The owner plans to sell it. We will have the bike for month, are authorized to sell it during that time.

Measurements are 61cm seat tube center to center. 58 cm top tube center to center. 1 meter wheelbase. <snip> Here is a link to photos of the bike as received.

what fascinates me is that this is another large frame with greatly undersquare design. My Cinelli SC is 64 cm (c to top) x 57 cm top tube. From this I'm beginning to believe that these designers, back then, (still?) thought that the thin-air breathers were all leg and no torso. Are most "oversize" frames that undersquare?
