Orgins of this frameset....................Belgium!
I've seen way to many of these things and know of 2 sources that does have these framesets, unpainted and painted so I'm not pointing fingers in any direction! I do know that these framesets are not being pushed as Colnagos as like the seller claims it to be! Talking about taking somebody for a ride, 2 bills for this thing!.......Nutts!
As for the seller of this frameset as like another Dutch dealer that this list has talked about in the past! They don't know....''SQUAT!''....about what the.........''HELL!''.........they are selling! TWINKIEs!!
