My question is why no mention of Confente in title or description? Also, at least one of the fake Confente frames was in this color if memory serves me.

Now, the fake I saw if I recall correctly did not have the seatlug tange facing downward on the frontside of the seatube as do typical Confente or Masi frames. From the stinky photos I do think I see it, so that probably rules out the fake I saw years ago - but I really can't be sure.

Has anyone called the guy? All weird...
