    Description

    Back in the early 1980's , Gita Sporting Goods imported Grandis frames. They brought
    in one 56cm with Gilco shaped tubing (5 ribs for stiffening?). This frame design never
    made it into their yearly dealer catalog so it was probably a unique import.
    56cm c/c with 56 top tube. braze f/d . one bottle boss. circa 1984
    I sold it and built it up with Super Record (reduced, no titanium). Eventually the paint
    looked typical 80's Italian quality so it went off to the Color Factory for a Ruby Red paint
    job, complete with sparkles. It was called "prism" finish.
    My friend wants to sell it after not riding it for 12+ years.
    The parts are all good to excellent. The rims are near perfect GP4's. Selle Italia Century
    saddle. Aero levers for a cleaner look. Tubular tires that are marginal and need re-glued.
    66/42 Cinelli bar and 95mm Grandis Pantograhed stem. 172.5 cranks
    What a gem for a 5'10 to 6'1" rider wanting a classic. Former rider is now 70 and cannot
    ride as well as "in the day".  I also got to list his Pogliaghi TSX with C Record which sold.
