My apologies for this post, but hope it qualifies as a lugged KOF frame similar to the 1970s GRAFTEK carbon fiber frame. Sorry Dale!!! List member Tom Dalton educated me on the success of these bikes as demonstrated by the past winner of the US Professional road race, Roberto Gaggioli on one of these machines!!!

Recommend that this bike be checked out by those who love lightened components --- here's the address:

Nice bike Kevin, but personally I don't believe that any disposable plastic bike can possibly qualify as KOF, no matter how much you paid, where you bought it, or when it was made.
Trying to tie it to the Team Fanini bike is kind of a cheap trick too.
Wish you the best,
