[fiamme red]

Sadly, Ciöcc is dead. But long live Pelizzoli!

Pretty nice. Starting at $820 for their lugged Columbus SL frame seems like a steal.

INteresting, the track bikes geometry is very roady. New tendencies...?

Must be crap. Not from a one-man shop. :rolleyes:

At least that appeared to be the majority of opinion here:

What is story on Columbus SL? How does it compare to the more modern Columbus tube sets?

I had a Ciocc from that guy. Nice. I would buy one if I wanted a road frame.

Sure, I agree, never say they looked bad at all, very retro looking, like them a lot :)


In any case, they certainly look nice.

shoot - wish i had seen these before ordering my Merican. Very nice looking bike indeed and have wanted an SL frame with track ends for a while.

SL is one of the best steels I've been on. Steel fans should try at least one SL frame in their cycling endeavors. It's one of those "do everything well" materials - ride, handle, sprint, climb, but most of all, feel really comfortable.

i hope that he uses his frame jig for these!
