This is probably my favorite bike ever because we've apent so much time together and been through a lot together. It was in mint condition when I got it. It's carried more than it should, climbed and descended things, taken a few tumbles and a few ambulance rides, and it's still super cutty and fun. Will ride this bike as long as I can. For extra nerd points, notice the sleeved/brazed/telescoping top tube/seat stays into seat tube and also the seat tube ovalization into bb sup.

Word I thought I recognized this bike, such a rad setup too. Check out my Concorde Squadra it is very similar to your Astore!

Hey thanks. Yeah your's is really similar, just the slightly nicer version of mine, and a fresher build. Came with the same fork too. Picked it up for dirt cheap.

I love my Davidson. Favorite bike I have ever had. Mine was 'mint condition' also... now after years and three cities later.. beat up, just keeps getting better looking over time. I will never let this frame go.
