Hello everyone

I am Pete Korhonen, born 1970, from Helsinki, Finland and new to this forum. I have recently gotten a hold of an old frame that I believe could fit in the category of this mailing list.

But here is the thing - I bought the frame from a friend who has started to build a bike around it in England a couple of years ago and since it was painted there he cannot remember the manufacturer of the frame. I have photographed the frame and the pics can be found here:

He had a faint idea that it could be of an Italian make, but he was not sure. The frame height is around 53cm, top tube being about 54cm long. Weights less than 10kg's in the condition it was photographed.

If anyone has any idea of the make/age of the frame I would much appreciate it. I have tried to search trough the internet to identify the lugs on the frame, but with no success.

At the moment my plan is to go single speed with the bike as soon as I can find a pair of brakes that would reach the rim and perhaps later on acquire the necessary parts to restore it close to the original condition if anyhow reasonable.

Thank you in advance and cheers!

Yours,

- pete -
