I have 2 frames for sale, both are 1970's era Mondias with chrome Nervex lugs and chrome on the fork blades and rear triangle.
One is a Mondia “Super” and is in original condition except for 2 seat tube graphics and the reynolds 531 stickers on the fork which are reproductions. This frame is 60cm c-c ST, 59cm c-c TT with a wheelbase of ~104cm. The “Super” is a sport tourer (Sportif) model with a little bit of a laid back geometry (possibly 72.5 HT and 72.5 ST, but that's just a guess). There is a great deal of tire clearance in the front. In the back a 28-29mm tire is about max to use with fenders ( 32mm++ w/o fenders). It does take normal reach (long) sidepull brakes, though Mafac ctr pulls maximize clearance for the rear tire with a fender. It is full Reynolds 531 tubing throughout, so the bike is very comfortable. The top tube does have some touch up paint on it, but overall the condition is quite good for it’s age. Paint is fair to good and the chrome is good to very good. I have owned this bke since ‘91, and it's by far the most versitile bike I've ever owned. The second frame is a Mondia “Special” that has had a recent respray (not original paint scheme). Again, the paint, chrome lugs and trim is in very good condition. I believe the “Special” is also full 531. The main difference is that the Special has a longer wheelbase (~107cm), and it has an even more slack ST. This frame is larger at 62cm c-c ST, 63cm c-c TT. This frame will take considerably larger tires with fenders (32mm is the largest I’ve tried with fenders, and I ‘m not sure what the max tire size is either with or without fenders). Both bikes have a single pair of braz-ons on the fork and rear dropouts for the fenders and racks to share. Both take and English BB and a 26.4 seatpost. I have a large variety (ie.Campy NR) of parts from age appropriate to more current. I will sell either as just the frame/fork, partially built or full build. Attached are a number of photos of the blue “Super”. I only have one of the copper “Special”, but if you are interested I can provide any additional photos that you would like. BTW, the tires shown on the blue “Super” are cyclocross knobbys, so there is more clearance then appears in the photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40201...@n02/sets/ Prices: Blue Super frame/fork/Campy NR headset---$375 plus shipping Copper Special frame/fork/Campy NR headset---$445 plus shipping Rick VerHoeven Twin Falls, Idaho --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
