Description
Fondriest U107 Carb Level – Serial #0376 57 – Midnight Carbon Fusion
“Aluminum Alchemy”
Serial #0376 57 marks this as a rare Italian engineering marvel from Fondriest’s golden era of innovation. The fusion of Dedacciai U107 aluminum with carbon fiber seatstays represents a pivotal moment when race-proven technology became accessible to discerning cyclists.
The Ride
The aluminum chainstays deliver exceptional power transfer with each pedal stroke, creating a snappy, direct response during climbs and sprints. Meanwhile, the carbon fiber seatstays silently absorb road vibrations, transforming what could be a harsh ride into something remarkably civilized. This isn’t just a bike – it’s Italian philosophy in motion.
Condition
Used with no structural damage. The self-healing rubberized paint maintains its distinctive tacky feel with minor wear on the top tube near the cable housing braze-on. Carbon fiber seatstays show minor cosmetic blemishes to the clear coat only. The Mizuno carbon fork is in excellent condition with only minimal scuffs.
