Don,et all: It is a very well done frame. I have made GRANDIS a hobby for a year or so and have cataloged over a hundred photos on a Flickr file for the benefit of the student of fine frames and bicycles. The amount of work is extensive and the quality should be obvious to all. It is a wonder that the womens or ladies bike or frame wasn't 50% higher cost because of the amount of additional work. It would be hard for me to justify a purchase of this frame since I don't have a "use" for it, but the temptation is still there. See my GRANDIS photo file on the publi8c view at:

The file is best viewed as a slide-show. Bruce

Usual late 70s pantographing of fork crowns and stays even extends to the marque on the head tube. Aqua blue-green color. Seller perhaps should be shot for parting it out. This had to be a beauty when put together. Seller specs included below for archives. 150207534057
