Subject: [CR]Barale (Italy) frameset anyone ???

Hello,

Saw a frameset currently being auctioned on eBay that i haven't heard of.

Barale !!! Kinda cheap & with no bids but it appears to have had a hard life from what i see. Either way it looks for real and Italian to me eyes. I like the idea of owning good quality framesets few have or recall (tarting up my second Montagner right now) & covet Kim Klakow's Mondial's. Can anyone expand info of the Barale marque?

Out of curiousity does anybody actually have a Calzone frameset (i have a buyer in waiting - Italian of course). I once owned a Cavalera (Vi) too. I know there are hundreds if not thousands of frame manufacturers just in Italy that weren't directly exported but variety marques on the List is always cool.

No relation to seller unless we draw back to Adam & Eve or Homo-Erectus or Hal9000 etc etc

Anyone have a frameset they believe nobody else has or is the only example of it's Marque remaining? Home made is cool.

ciao,
