HELP!!!

I recently picked up this frame at a local antique fair and have no clue as to the origins. The oxidation is only on the surface and it fits me just perfectly so I would love to know more about the frame before I start building it up. I snapped some photos of the Nervex lug work (thanks for pointing those out Koalatron!) as well as the only stamps I could find that might help identify the frames make or model. There is a small ‘P’ on the bottom of the bottom bracket as well as the numbers ‘0716’ on the inside of one of the rear drop outs (perhaps a serial number for the drop out itself?). It appears to have been green prior to the stripping. Any info would help!!! Thanks tumbls

    It’s not a Campagnolo frame. I agree it looks english. What is the BB threading? If it’s an old French or Italian bike,...

    凄いね。内部は酸化してないってかいたぁるけど、ほんとか? なんかもがいたらポキってなりそうな外観やけど。

    crankset and bottom bracket almost definitely not original....ultra light…perhaps Columbus...
  16. negativenancydrew said: hmm, the drop outs are definitely campangolo, but I’m not sure about the rest of the frame, dropouts are often ready made. how does the green on there compare to the classic bianchi green? they would have still been building in italy at the time.
