Mondonico? new information
How well thought of is Mondonico?
I have a complete bike someone dropped on my door. I would prefer to make a deal for someone who just doesn't have lots of money.

You should see the pile of wheels he dropped also. And several boxes of parts. Cleaning out his garage and getting rid of clutter.
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 less than 6 feet tall and deserves a nice bike, send me a PM.

Great bike. My Diamond is awesome. If you post the for sale list, then I'm sure it will go quickly.

Why not sell the bike and donate the proceeds to the charity of your choice - might be easier than trying to find someone who can use it as a freebie. Sounds like there'b be no shortage of potential buyers on here.

Well, this one wouldn't be completely free. I have to do a few repairs and will do maintenance before boxing it for shipping.

 )I always thought Mondinico was under-rated--and I think the limited distribution through Smart Cycles made them less well-known that they could have been. Good interview with Bill McCann here--thinks Mondinico was one of the best Italian builders (self-interested to be sure, but I think others agree): http://roadbikeaction.com/uncategorized/bill-mccann Later ones were subbed out to Billato I think? Edit to add: there's a thread on RBR that says Taverna not Billato... Last edited by paredown; 04-13-2017 at 10:48 AM.

Flip for charity
Mondonico's have always been in my top five, they have a reputation for being exceedingly well made. And I'm six foot. And I work in the not-for-profit sector making peanuts helping people who have no peanuts.
 That said, I agree with some of the comments here about using the sale proceeds to help more people. Example: There is a not-for-profit I volunteer with that sends bikes to impoverished countries, like Bikes Not Bombs. I help them to take donations that aren't useful in these countries (ie nice road bikes and bits) and sell them locally to send more useful stuff overseas. It's crazy when you realize that a mid-range vintage road bike can cover the cost of 10 mtb's that will be used and appreciated. So depending what is in your neighborhood, and if it interests you, there maybe a group that does similar things close to you. Feel free to PM me and I'll help you find something. Good offer and good on you. I love bikes, but I love sharing them even more.

I often get old MTBs and assorted other bikes that I repair and donate to our local homeless program. Having a bike can allow people to take jobs way off the bus routes.
