Ladies and Gents,
For sale: Montelatici frame. $ 800
Size: 54cm seat tube (c-t-c), 54.5cm top tube Threading: Italian Braze-ons: BB cable guides, chain stay housing stop, down tube bottle bosses Brake fit: "Standard" (not short) reach, recessed nut Axle fit: 130 rear Finish: White with Red panels on head and seat tubes, chrome fork crown and dropout faces.
Included: Campy correct vintage BB and Headset. These are not new but quite usable.
For those not aquainted with the marque, the Classic Rendezvous site has both the story of the Monte and pictures of this frame (see Italy, Montelatici). I estimate the frame's birth to be ~1974. It was beautifully painted (first paint ever on the frame) by Ed Litton last year. I have ridden the bike sparingly since assemby in November 2003, had the bike at Cirque this spring...haven't ridden it since.
I have correct vintage drailleurs, crank, hubs (with 1984 clincher rims), brakes; these are also available.
I've been absent from the list for a few months and will not see questions to the list. Please send any questions directly to me.
