Condor Fratello in rim brake version is €1050 delivered. Very good price for a bike in Columbus Spirit; plenty of colours and balanced road bike geo. Good alternative to a Ritchey Logic. I would've rathered shorter chain stays (the Acaccio gives you that) and a better fork. Still, very good option.
Stays have to be that long to allow for 28c tyres & guards.
Try finding a monocoque fork that takes guards. No one makes one any more.

Good point. It is suiting a purpose.
Is that stay length for both disc and rim?
Do you know clearance without mudguards for disc version?

Stay length is the same on both the rim & qr disc. I think it’s slightly different on the new thru-axle version.
Clearance on the qr disc is 28c with guards. Without you may squeeze a 32 perhaps. The new thru-axle version can take a 32 with guards possibly 35 without depending on the tyre & rim.

Olmo Super Light with Ego tubing? Not seen one with that paint before, is it original?
Good eye! Yes, an original NOS acquired from Brick Lane Bikes in London. The Ego tubing is unique...combining MAX chainstays with oval/aero downtube and top tubes and a truly odd shaped seat tube. Have not found much info on this tube set. It must have had a short production cycle?

I have one of these, and a Kobe Cobra as frames haning in the rafters. I thing the Cresent has a Chrome fork.
How does it ride and handle, not rolled the Cresent. I have run the Kobe as a SS and it ate the road in smooth fashion...

Pretty nice I would say, like a smooth steed! Tbh I haven't done any long rides, I restored it this summer and didn't have time. Soon it will get an EPS v1 group, or that is the plan at least, hmm

853 frame and carbon seatpost/cranks/bars/wheels but still no weenie at 11.05kg as pictured due to hubs, lights, fenders and rack. It does a lot of work so no regrets.
.. actually I'm going to swap out the spindle pm so that'll get it under 11 hahaha

Hi,
I have recently purchased a lovely WIlier Superleggera in the beautiful Ramato copper finish. What do people advise using for when it comes to cleaning the frame? Anything to avoid? Thanks
