Why does your "used" Alazzurra look like a "new" Alazzurra?

Hey Flattop.....thanx for the kind words on AZ.....lots of elbow grease, hopefully it will come out nicer than average

Huit/Paul.....isnt that frame you linked to the Sonny Angel brew....I think I remember his top tube looked like a big shell casing how it tapers down up near the steering head.

Hi Filippo,
Yeah a dry clutch SS, I am not sure what I am going to do for sure, right now its total low budget build. I am just trying to get it running on the cheap, if there is such a thing. I did find a 2/1 pipe for it, I am going to strip some stuff off of it and carve it up a little for fun....I have been doing stupid stuff like chopping on the body work, etc. Trying to make it look a little more airy/sporty/Pantah like. If I end out not liking it or it needs a bunch I will sell it, would be a good donor bike for someone to build something.

Late sixties Dunstall Drainpipe. Anyone know of an earlier example of this type of frame? Just curious as to who actually created this concept.

Earliest large tube frame?? I use to have a 50's Nimbus (quite the opposite of a Pantah) Anyway if you go way back in to the 20's a Stovepipe Nimbus is the earliest large backbone frame I can think of.......

ooppss, let me add, this bike had front and rear suspension which was uncommon at that time and it carried fuel in the frame.....a little bit earlier than Buell did it :-)
