I got this custom made frame some time ago. I was about to build nice modern road bike.
But...
After investigation with help from other bike forum and some people in Italy I find out that this frame was built by frame master Mario Peloso from Alessandria in Italy. Frame was made sometime in 1960s (maybe early 70's but more likely 60's). I got in contact with former worker of Mario Peloso but I couldnt find out the name of first owner (Mario stamped initials of customer on each build frame - F I on this frame - like "Fredericco Italiano").
Anyway - custom made italian frame... I just couldnt waste it with modern parts. It needs proper campagnolo equipment.
So I started to collect parts. (f... expensive). Still dont have bottom bracket (italian thread) so it will be one modern part to be replaced later on when I find proper stuff.
Frame was not painted - looked like never painted at all. no signs of paint, no signs of sandblasting etc. would be great to find out a real story of this frame...
So here I am. maybe you will like it.
On the picture first attempt with modern wheels but that wasnt it...
