Bikies,

Over the past 30-odd years, I have lusted after Mondias and similar bikes. Since I need a long TT (54-55 cm c-c on a 52 cm c-t road frame), I am tempted to try a Mondia or an Allegro. (I understand that the Allegros had even longer TTs than the Mondias.)

Can anyone verify the differences in frame specs between these two makes, or recommend any other l-o-n-g TT "classic" stage-race road frames that I should keep an eye out for?

Thanks,

Jon
