Dear C.R. List, Frame size: Seat tube 52.5 cm c-t-c. Top tube 53 cm. c-t-c. Rear drop outs:126mm.Cost $75.00 plus shipping and insurance. I'm selling one Gianni Motta "Personal 2001" frameset and chrome fork.The frameset had the decal/stickers removed by the previous owner.I sold the frameset to a local bicycle shop and the owner removed the decals/stickers-I don't know why.The shop owner stripped the bicycle for parts and also removed the decals. I bought the frame and fork back and now I'm selling the stripped down frame and fork. The frame is from 1982-1984 as best I can determine.There are two listed on the CR website. The paint scheme on this bicycle is pearly white in fair condition with two dime size bits of paint missing near the seat binder bolt (on rear of down tube and the ears of where of the seat binder bolt goes). The chrome is in very good condition on frame and fork.Chrome on frame is at the "MOTTA" rear dropouts with adjusters (included) and on the drive side chain stay and a few inches on drive side seat stay. The front fork is all chrome with Campagnola dropouts. I rode the bicycle before it was stripped down and it rode very well. One lug on the down tube is "pantographed" (factory cutout). Seat stays have a plug cap over them particular to the Gianni Motta frames with bends in the seat stays at rear brake bridge. Braze ons for down tube shifters.One set of water bottle braze ons on down tube. Three top tube cable guide braze ons.Chromed chain hanger on drive side seat stay (about four inches of chrome on the lower portion of seat stay). I do not have any digital pictures at the present time. If anyone is interested in this bicycle I offer a money back guarantee if not satisfied (less shipping costs). Yours truly, Martin Walsh in Vienna,Va. 703 255-6545.
