Ole Skool Frame #4 : Tecnotrat Saronni

Amazing frame from the 80s.

Humbly built with Columbus Aelle in 26.8 diameter tubes, the frame is magnificently stiff yet comfortable. This was personally used by me for a few years. I got it off a guy who trained for competitions and migrated to carbon some years back and it was a sublime ride. The only reason it has been decommissioned was because its a tad too small for me.

I had it re-painted by The Rebound Centre using the highest quality Pearl White paint and decals-redone.

The Tecnotrat company in Italy has long been consolidated but this was made during the hey-days of Italian frame making and is truely a one-off-hard-to-find these days.

Size is 53.5cm c-c. Top tube is approximately 55cm c-c.

The bike gives a very 'racy' feeling due to its short chainstay. Handling is highly responsive. Could easily make it as a track bike!

Price : SGD1000
