ABOUT: As a cyclist for many years and bike restorer for over 20, I derive satisfaction from returning "cosmetically challenged," artisan-made Italian steel frame sets to as-new appearance for cyclists to build and enjoy riding again. Frame refinish is far more durable than original. Some frames have been re-plated. In all cases chrome plating is very good to excellent and not pitted. Current inventory includes frames in various sizes. More coming! NOTE: International shipping charge based on location
