Hi all,
A little bit more info on the Diamant frames. They are a house brand of which SL and SP frames were made in Italy. The Reynolds frames are believed to be Belgium made. The frames I listed are race frames. As for the actual manufacturer, not sure, but I'll find out more info if needed. Diamant has been around since the early to mid 60's. I'll start listing framesets on my site as they arrive, so you can see pics.
