Never seen one like this before:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/francesco-m ... ctupt=true

"Va por la hora" = Hour record bike? I thought they ran a fixed gear?

It's interesting anyway. You'd get a few looks commuting on it! The handlebars have already been flop & chopped.

Just the model name as opposed to what was actually used.

Have i mentioned i wuv my Ultegra Scultura 905 comp. ? :) There is a heap of them around, in various states. I'm on the lookout for a small/med Lampre... bit over the stock red/black paint.
But someone has a big bodge going on here. Check out the rear mech hanger.

The area and the condition of the bike suggests they may not be the rightful owner

Interesting but a exercise in optimism pricewise....

A close up of the seat cluster might have been useful.

Anyone who advertises something with "looks sick" isn't going to sell it

I built one of these frames into the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. Love it.

If I could afford it, I'd grab it for sure. Replace a couple of others with one really nice bike.

I had one in 55cm for years. Super super nice bike. Probably the most comfy I've ridden and built up to be around 7.8kg. Pretty good for steel.

Agree, would be a fine frame to replace several - me thinks these "type" of bikes really do work better with rim brakes than discs - have an ascent breakaway and not the logic but find it odd how ritchey frames can wear so many hats so damn well.
Maybe good technical background to aid design over designing to aid marketing can still be found in the bike industry ?
