fork crown detail
This is a tasty example of fine cromovellato finishing. The frameset is a Vicini Super Record from ca. 1981. Ardath Bey has an example of one built up on wooljersey (www.wooljersey.com/gallery/v/b-r-m/Vicini/). His was obviously stripped of the lacquer on the tubes, though. These frames are a rare find due to the fact that cromovellato required a lot more care in the finishing than a regular paint job.
The frame is engraved pretty much everywhere; bb shell, steerer, fork crown, stay cap and head lugs. The fork is incredibly delicate with the tangs coming out of nowhere and the dropouts are milled. Tubing is SL. The chrome is in top shape on this bike. The cable for the RD is internal on the chain stay.
The Lacquer has been touched up in several places, some nicely other a little crude. There was a bottle cage mounted on the seat tube and even though it was taped off there are scuffs to the paint. Frame size is 57cm c-t with a 56cm c-c top tube. The frame comes w/o bb.
I am asking $925 shipped worldwide. I accept paypal.
