I am working on two Serottas for him. A Meivici and Ti.
Yes, I like helping people who don't have lots of money. People who have lots of money already have all of the stuff they need and don't usually help others get riding.

If anyone wants to suggest a friend who is about 6 feet tall and deserves a nice bike, send me a PM.
I like what you are cooking!

I am happy for the replies and the applications. When I get back to my place in a week, I will take measurements and photos.

Rework. My optical calipers fooled me. The bike is smaller than I thought. The seat tube is only 55cm and TT is 56.5cm.

The bike currently has the saddle set to 36 inches from the pedal to the saddle. So people slightly smaller than 6 foot tall are probably most interested.

It turns out it's a 55cm frame.

Yesterday, he dropped off several more boxes of carbon cranks, Record parts and Dura Ace stuff to go with the carbon wheels and boxes of high end parts recently given to me. I frankly am embarrassed by all of this stuff.

I can't charge him for the work I am doing now. This stuff is worth 8 times what I will charge him to swap parts groups on two bikes and replace cables etc.

The present owner of Torelli was looking for a 56 cm (as I recall) Mondonico as of about 1 year ago. Sounds like size would be close.

Sell it then and donate the money to a bike charity? It sounds like it's pretty valuable stuff so there's a market for it. surely.
