Long time lurker, first-time post-er. Short story is I've got a bead on a 2000-2001 Hampsten Cinghiale Pro (made by Moots). The frame is old enough that I don't know much about it -- just wanted to pick the collective BFC brain and see if anyone had anything constructive to say about this frame -- i.e. differences in construction, geometry from current Titanio or Vamoots. Radical changes in the lineup between here and there, massive unrepenting flexiness, etc. I'd send a quick note to Hampsten Towers, but since there isn't exactly a financial upside for the brothers H, I'm loath to do that unless I've got a specific question. For the curious, here's a photo (click for a much larger, offsite version): Thanks much.

I have seen Steve post to several boards, and from what I have read, he is a stand up guy and would give you the info you need. I think it's a rebadged Moots, and that's a very good thing ...if it fits you. As for the flexiness, what do you weigh? I doubt flex will be a problem. They are a very nice riding bike. I will never part with mine. Good luck and let us know your decision. Post Extras: Marburg new member Reged: 07/04/05 Posts: 4 Loc: MadWiz, again.

I'm a pretty lightweight guy (5-11, 150) (though according to RoadBikeRider I've got to drop 5 more lbs to become an 'optimal climber' -- yeah, right). I'm not really worried about flexiness, I just pulled that out of the hat as a problem that some ti frames have been accused of. It's definitely a rebadged Moots. I'll try the Moots boards. I might try the Hampstens, though I'll admit I don't have any specific questions. Just a general which makes me sheepish. Thanks for the info.

Let's see if I can get the S/N from the seller... Post Extras: Marburg new member Reged: 07/04/05 Posts: 4 Loc: MadWiz, again. Re: Need little info on 2001 Hampsten Cinghiale Pr [Re: Marburg] #6396 - 07/31/05 03:14 PM (24.177.119.32) Edit Reply Quote Well, to complete the story I got cut off by a friend of the seller. Oh well, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing. Time to start saving my pennies, I guess ... Thanks for all the help. Post Extras: Pages: 1
