Dear List,

I am downsizing my collection due to the high likelihood of moving in the next few months. I am offering this frame to the list first, then to Ebay if no takers.

I don't know much about Liotto bikes, maybe someone here can shed some light. My understanding is that few made it into the U.S. from Italy, and many of the ones that did so were purchased in Italy by U.S. servicemen stationed in that area in the late 70s and early 80s. I bought this frame from the second owner, who reported that he got it from the first owner who was stationed over there and had this one custom made for him. I don't have any way to confirm that.

This frame features relaxed geometry and plenty of clearance for 28-30 mm tires. I have a few goodies such as the original Liotto pantographed stem and the original 26.4 Campy two-bolt seat post to include. The bike was originally equipped with a full Gran Sport group, and you get the headset and bottom bracket with the frame.

Here are pictures:

Price is $325 plus actual shipping.

Thanks,
