Current Stage Info:
I had to seek professional help down here in Brazil otherwise I wouldn't have any bike. This great german-brazilian frame builder called Klaus Poloni was able to weld the Aluminum tubes. He also pointed out some amateur errors in the building process and some structural fails at the frame project.
It is really sad the majority of those who bought this frame did it not for training or significant cycling, but for cosmetic purposes.
The bikes are beautiful but with awfull customer relationships.

In my case, I told to the Italians from the beginning this would be for track and criteriums. I would never spend this amount of money for hipster points :/

My entry-level $360 Leader 721 frameset still has no cracks. I rode that thing hard too! USA made all the way!

Actually, the workmanship is flawless. You can't campare those frames but their compromise with customers is terrible. They simply don't care.

And I still believe that Giovanni Pelizzoli is a really great frame builder. This guy worked for Ciocc!!! But the company is now run by his kids and they definitely don't know how to do it.

It has been 10 months since this happens and tons of emails claiming my warranty.
I'm based in Brazil so return it would be too expensive from here.
