More Info:
Francesco Buda is an Italian who came to Switzerland in the late 60's. He had a bike shop just 500 meters away from my apartement. I was visting him quite often the last years he was in business. He stopped making frames already in this time. In 2015 he retired and closed his wonderful shop. We're still friends but unfortunately he lives not so close and it became rare we meet. I always dreamt to own a bike made by him. This one I got from another friend and huge bike collector. He bought it on a charity event for chairity reasons. The bike is not fitting in his exibition so he offered it to me for an inresistible price. The frame was built up once but was hardly used. Some parts I took for the rebuild were NOS, others from my stock.
