Fully sloping fork crown like that shown in the 1st pic is a thing of beauty. Not as elegant as the original Cinelli fully sloping fork crown where the fork blades go over the crown but still prettier than any blob-looking carbon fork crown.

I wish that the frame and workshop were mine.

Love the Aeta. Stainless Columbus XCR beauty. Anyone know how much they go for? Is it in the Pegoretti echelon?

Not really, thats how it should be in classic 75 degrees italian/european building. That frame is like a 58 and I really love it.

Wonder if this manufacturer is one of the lasts old school italian builders that maybe still in business. Is he still in business right?

How much is this asking for a frame? like 5000 bucks or so? The aluminum track one rocks.

I bought one of the lugged / chromed frames last year. I think the price was under $1400 with shipping and some customs charges. Very reasonable I thought.

Pellizzoli's front man was easy to communicate with by email and quite responsive. The delivery took about three months.

The frame is beautiful. Mine is a mint toothpaste color which looks great with the yellow decals. The paint quality is good -- not great, but respectable given the price and considering that my benchmark is a guy named Bell. I was a little annoyed that the frame had to be faced and chased, including the bottle mounts. I also had trouble getting my rear wheel mounted -- stays were cozy. But again, you get what you pay for and I think the frames are a great value given the classic lugged goodness of the frames and the fact that Pelizzoli built Ciocc frames when Italian steel bikes set the bar.

I ordered a standard 48 cm frame. They will do custom too. Geometry is traditional race geometry. Whatever that is. It ain't no Roubaix.

The ride is what you would expect from a new Columbus SLX steel frame. It is stable and plush, with great control. It is nimble too and doesn't make my lousy climbing and more lousy. It rides and fits very much like my Colnago Olympic. Alloy Veloce and Challenge gumwalls complete the modern retro package and help smooth out the ride.

The frame is not quite in the league of the top US custom builders, but it is a great value and was built into a beautiful, capable bike that has more than a little piece of cycling history attached to it.

His frames are surprisingly affordable. The last I read was that the Corsa GP (newer version with Spirit tubing) is less than $1500 for a frame and fork.

This SL tubed Corsa GP was less than $1k new last year.
