it's gotta be 1987 somewhere: lugged marinoni

here's something really sweet: a repainted 1987 marinoni from the cycling art blog.   wicked frame, and just how i like 'em--the lugs, the seatstay caps, the dropouts and everything are just perfect.  too bad they don't make these anymore.  there are lots of good lugged frames out there, but the marinonis were always one of the best values in classic racing frames.  those were good days when nice lugged frames were serious racing equipment and not strictly almost always objets d'art for the 1%.

and here it is built up and ready to ride.
