@John - Thank-you for the compliment and praise regarding my road bike. I appreciate it. and Thank-you for your encouragement with the sale of my bike, as well. I would delight in seeing it going to a new home. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA. Fall is returning with cooler temperatures and rain at last.

I have had this bike, since I bought it new in late 1973. It has been my main road bike for nearly 40 years. I have taken very good care it as a detailed-oriented person. I do not ride it any more. It is time to sell it. The frame size is 57.785cm or 22.75”. The Stand over height is 81.59cm or 32 1/8”. My PBH is 80.1 cm = 31.1”. With a long torso and short limbs, this bike fits me very comfortably. Mind you, the black paint job is not of the original color. It is a repaint. It was originally silver. Here is an original 1973 Cilo Sprintx, of which is very similar to the 1972 model: https://bikeindex.org/bikes/61636 The bike rides and handles like that of an European sports car; very nimble and fast.

French BCM (Bocama) lugs and fork crown. Campagnolo drop outs front and rear. Custom added three water bottles cage mounts with screws on the frame and down tube cable housing stops. 120mm rear spacing and 100mm front spacing. I have a steel washer on the drive side inside the quick release skewer to space out the rear stay to accept the 6-cogged freewheel. The rear stays have not been cold set. *Serial Number#:* 72876 - ‘72’ representing 1972. It was also made in August (8), and was the 76th (76) frame of that race type made in August.
