It's interesting that while Lloyd was developing his Concept ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAVE-LLOYD-CONCEPT-90-20-5in-ctc-22-5in-ctt-1991_W0QQitemZ370006991296QQihZ024QQcategoryZ22679QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) in the same time period Chesini developed the Innovation. The Innovation is also a sloping design, however, it is a lugged steel frame with very interesting seat tube/top tube junction lugwork . I have used the frame as the platform for a modern build ( http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2007/11/chesini-innovation-project-finished.html).

I need to go and get the name of the Chesini builder of this frame; there was one guy that apparently was thinking outside the box all the time in terms of new designs. There are some interesting, but few, of these unique frames floating around.

I hope I haven't gone too astray in mentioning this but I think the frame itself was built be a KOF kinda guy.
