Hi All,

George's outing of the ebay Legnano(?) has prompted me to pose a question to the list. I've seen a number of ebay frames/bikes in recent months touting Aelle as everything from a top level to racing to professional tubeset. Has there been a change in the way this set is viewed? When I was selling frames and racing bikes, Aelle was an entry level performance bike at best. It was usually available on the more affordable complete bikes offered and rarely did we see an Aelle, Cromor, Zeta, or Tretubi etc frame offered as a frameset only.

Am I delirious?
