Hi, Larry!
Not a Mondia expert here, but the equipment on your frame could date back to the '60s. My first great bike was a (I think) mid-60s Italian bike, and it came with very high quality cotterred cranks (Magistroni BB/FB crankset). The Stronglight Competition headset is also a very old design, plausibly from that period. Raleigh/Carlton used that rear brake cable installation treatment back then as well, on the International, 1st gen Pro, and the Competition.

Hi, Gang-
I just horse-traded for a Mondia 'Special' frameset, and have a question or two about it- 1) Is it possible to date a Mondia frame from the serial # ? 2)This frame came with a Stronglight 'Competition' headset, and a bb set up with a cottered axle (no logo on any of the parts); the Reynolds decal is (I believe) the early 60's style; there are no bz-ons except for top tube brake cable stops, and a tiny ring to guide the brake cable- is it pretty safe to assume that it is a early-to-mid 60's model? 3) Head badge is missing; I would like to buy or trade for a badge.
