CARRERA PROGETTO 3D & TIME EQUIP PRO Fork Set | Aluminum road frame with the aesthetic sensibilities of 90s Italian racing

Elaborate paintwork and unique sculptural beauty. A frame that strongly retains the atmosphere of 90s road bike culture.

Born in the early 1990s, the CARRERA "PROGETTO 3D" is an aluminum road frameset that exudes the glamorous presence characteristic of Italian road bikes and the racing spirit of that era.

Its distinguishing feature is, of course, its beautiful paintwork. The finish, which sets it apart from modern mass-produced frames, is appealing for its craftsmanship and playfulness. Additionally, it's paired with the "TIME EQUIP PRO," a masterpiece fork representative of its time. The slender 1-inch steerer tube and classic silhouette further enhance the 90s road bike aesthetic.

While based on the light and responsive feel characteristic of aluminum, it offers a unique sense of balance for the era, hinting at a somewhat supple ride quality. It's a frame that allows you to enjoy the charm of "road bikes from that era," distinct from chromoly or modern aluminum.

Although there are signs of use such as a dent next to the right downtube shifter boss and overall scratches, the price is set accordingly. For those who appreciate vintage racing and 90s road culture, I believe this frame will be quite appealing.
