I started my life in bicycles through BMX, but Italian frames transitioned me to road bikes and even frame building to some extent...this is the only bike I own now that I haven't built, and I still think it's the best looking of the bunch

My favorite bike amongst all the ones I own (look and ride):

:hello:

oh man, in before someone we know will come say that deltas brake well if set up correclty.

That said that bike is gourgeous... so is the one Angry posted.

I was a big fan of all the Mosers. I wanted a TK1 but never had money or "need" when one was available in my size. Now I've got the money but not the space for another bike.

Wow!
 

tempted to bid $250 just for kicks!

thought my girl might ride this but looks like it may be FS soon

Olmo - early 90's aero tubing
 

Believe this rare tubeset is known as Ego. Aero fork crown, aero main triangle and MAX chainstays. Pictured is a 1 inch diameter tube to give you a sense of the tube shapes.

Ooh my favorite kind of thread!

Here are some of mine:

I have that Ciöcc frame in blue; first time I’ve seen one other than mine. Columbus EL? Full chrome seat stays. Do you know any story behind that model? Ive assumed it’s from early 90’s and maybe Bilato built (Italian flag pantograph as seen on those) Ive been half heartedly trying to sell mine.

Mine is SL and I purchased the frame new in 1992 from the Excel catalog. The seatstays have a subtle taper on both ends that's impossible to photograph. I agree that it was probably built by Bilato. It was my only road bike for about 8 years and it's really a great ride.

Nick, I bet that thing carves corners like I couldn't imagine.
