Top Italian frame builder Gianni Sancineto was one of the only builders to continue building steel after the majority moved to the new fad of aluminium, The quality of his frames kept improving throughout the ’90s. Their ’90s work took the lessons learnt from the years of lugged steel construction and combined it with modern advancements in light weight tubing to create superlative frames. This particular example is crafted from Columbus SLX tubing, and is NOS from 1993. The paint is typical Sancineto, lavish but never excessive. Airbrushed green, purple and blue accents weave between each other over a gloss black base coat. Decals are white with gold accents. Engravings on the bottom bracket shell have been filled with gold paint. It is in perfect condition and has never been ridden NOS.
