Tamari 56cm - also Columbus - 1850g frame, 650g fork. Imported to the goldy in the 80s as well, I'm told.
Europa 57cm - something Tange??? - 2230g frame, 890g chromed fork - probably steel. John probably knows which steel
Kotter 55cm - Columbus MAX - 2220g frame, 750g chromed fork. Southern Germany. sorry - SÜDDEUTSCHLAND.

It's my secret hope that the baby blue is actually a Masi in Tamari clothing. Regardless, its still the nicest riding frame I have.dubrat wrote:Indeed Strack... The Italian gent that ran Tamari cycles on the Gold Coast also imported Masi frame sets .....

Starting with a 95" Olympia, Columbus EL-OS all chromed 56x53. The most insane bike I've ever ridden.
1510g frame, 620g fork.
90" Ricardo Pinnacle 531c, 56x56 1865g frame, fork? I'll edit this later.
Custom made in Aust. Columbus SL 55x55 possibly 1980 From process of elimination through bought location, builders in the area and materials they used it could be a Paino who produced more unbranded custom frames than there own panto frames. But then again I could be totally wrong.
Frame 1850g, fork? It's an old picture but it's getting another respray soon.
88" Ricardo Elite, Tange 900, 57x57. Frame 2120g, fork 710g.
88" Repco Superlight 4130, 55top x 57seat thats unusual? Frame 2520g fork 870g What a tank!
For fun an early 90"s Giant Innova hybrid/cyclocross 4130, 55.5x51.5. Frame 2530g, fork 880g
I'll add more later.

Use the kitchen scales, Ron. Much more precise. Luverly, btw. Looking forward to seeing it on a riverloop sometime.

That's my kind of machine! Who made that?jbchybridrider wrote:I'll add some frames here I thought might have some interest, the first 2 are shown complete but weights are accurate. There's a few highend frames that'll be dismantled in the near future as well.

Hmmm, we don't have kitchen scales, maybe I should get some. Now that I've got this years' tour out of the way I can focus on acquiring components. My ebay search engine found another NOS Super Record brake set yesterday, so I'll load up my sniper engine shortly and see if I can win it.Dan wrote:Its out from behind the bedhead!

Thanks, Olympia is Italy's second oldest bike producer behind Bianchi but the oldest continually owned in Italy and still a family business. I believe there Italy's largest making a vast range of bikes.Velo13 wrote:

There not well known around the world though because they never bothered to promote themselves outside Italy, only exporting limited bikes around Europe. But in Italy there held in the highest regard as good as anyone else and there history is second to none.
Thanks mate, Mavic R-SYS, disregard first generation reviews.

Frame weight (58cm) 1860g
Frame + fork (cinelli style internally lugged): 2600g on the nose.
Not quite as light as I thought it was.
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
