Well here she is.
Columbus XCR tubes
44mm head tube
1.76kg
Pearl White with polished graphics
Originally the plan was full Super Record RS with Fizik alloy bars & stem and an R1 post. But now that the frame is in my hands I can't help thinking that a more retro flip would work as well and not result in my bankruptcy!
So the modified spec is as follows
Record 11 Speed Gearing (2009 mechs & 2011 Ergos
PMP Chainset & Ti BB
Record Silver Callipers
PMP Polished Ti post
Deda Zero 100 Dark Metal Bars & Stem
Cinelli Caleido BlackTape
Wheels will be both tubs & clinchers, Nemesis on Record 10 Silver Hubs and FIR SC170 on same.
Any thoughts?

Nice frame. I also like the build list, particularly the PMP stuff. I have PMP chainrings on one of my builds that I had hi-polished and they look great. Looking forward to seeing this built up.

It isn't a stock Acciaio Stainless. The regular version has a normal 1 1/8" straight head tube and uses a Columbus Minimal fork. This has not only a 44mm head tube to accommodate the tapered fork, but also has a slightly larger diameter down tube as well. So it's like a Super Acciaio Stainless.

I like straight blades a bit more
I'm not so sure on this frame. Also I didn't want to take a hit on weight in places other than the frame. Grammy comes in at 305g uncut, FEL is 350 claimed.

Is the weight of 1.76kg for the frame only?
look forward to seeing it built up.

Well, the headset should arrive today, so I hop to be able to build here up very soon. Might have to compromise on the cockpit initially until I have sourced the appropriate parts. Zero 100 Dark Metal Polished bars & seat posts seem to be very thin on the ground. I can find Supernatural bars as well as the Newton Anatomics, but 42cm Zero 100s are like hens teeth. Anyone have any??
