The first few sentences say it all: "racing bike with Gipiemme steel frame, 52 cm size. The frame is used, th powder coating is new. The lugs and whole rear end are chromed. This when combined with the black powder coatings yields a super look."

The bike has been repainted and they simply applied the decals that they could find. There is no Gipiemme bike that I know of.
