I'm not using it anymore and I want to buy my dream track frame, so it has to go.

All the parts in good or very good condition, except the handlebar shows some scratches.
I never ever saw a second one like this within the last 3 years and as you already know, Somec frames are rare, especially in the bigger sizes, especially as a track frame.
I used it only at the velodrome within the last 2 years, had never ever any crashes, no dents or things like that.
I will NOT sell the bike in parts!

Information about the horse logo at the down tube from an Italian friend:
the ferrari horse is the logo of somec, there is a little story about it: obviously ferrari owned that logo first and when enzo ferrari knew about the fact that somec used that logo got upset and wanted to meet mister somec, they whent for a meeting on a dinner in a resturant, and enzo asked somec why he would have done so, somec said that he wanted his bikes to be as fast and powerfull as ferrari cars, enzo was happy about it and they chose that one horse had to have the tail down and the other had to have the tail up, and this how different they shuold be and how we used to make business in italy back then. verniciatura fratelli martini means that it was painted at a place owned by the martini brothers that was in a town called lugo.
