Abit about the frame builder, Robert Kypriotis built Kypo frames from the early 80's through to the mid-late 90's in Latrobe Valley in Victoria, Australia. From my research he had only built around 100 frames, in which all of them are custom. He would use whatever tubing the customers ordered, either lugs or fillet brazed. Some of them are even imported to the US. I recall reading it somewhere that Mr Kypriotis change the logos on the frames in tributes to his wifes; where The 'Le' was a reference to his second wife who was French. There are also Kypos with a rose on them which was a tribute to his wife that passed. and as for my frame "Le Kypo" it maybe the latest generation of frames that he has built in the 90's . The frame got Columbus SL tubing and fork, tange bb shell, suntour 10mm dropouts and a sweet wishbone seatstays.
