That's a pretty sharp lookin' frame. It would be nice if it is super functional for you too.

I was certainly thinking it was cheap. Any thoughts on using it as a roadie? My first interest is on the road but would like the option to develop it into a weapon for triathlon.

Would it be feasible to even attempt to set it up to ride as a roadie (with drop bars etc.)?

You can get a seatpost with lots of set back and slam the saddle back all the way and it should be close to 73 degrees. Also you can do the reverse and get a straight seatpost and slam the saddle forward and ride a steeper angle for triathlon.

You certainly can do all this stuff, I'd wonder how comfortable the ride would be if you were using it for long rides as a roadie, but it might be worth a shot.
Has anyone heard of cellini and in particular are they any good? I can get what I think is a good deal at

Also, if I was to get a frame similar to this with say a 76 deg seat tube angle, could I comfortably ride it in a road setup (perhaps with a seetback seapost, would I need one?).
Basically I ask because I have an interest in building up a bike and have been looking around at different frames and such.
Cheers
