Seller claims this is a Confente-built Carlsbad frame..like he would know.
...the large cutout in the bb-tang suggests it's an italian frame, maker unknown. Could be Confente I suppose. But I don't think this is a Carlsbad product, unless I'm missing something. The paint is so thick (appears to be a repaint from the dt graphic if nothing else), I can't really see the stamps in the bb..but that large cutout I see only on italian frames..
