Hi, Just curious at how you determined the date of this frame? Some particular characteristics indicate that this frame is from an earlier year.

To my knowledge, Brain OS was introduced in 1995-1996, ca a year after the regular Brain. Which means that the frame was probably built around 1996-1997. This fits with the info I got when buying this bike years ago. Frame characteristics may be not quite standard here as Sancineto had to use fillet brazing to incorporate the teardrop shaped down tube, which is a rare design feature on steel bikes. The seat stay pantograph and coloring indicate 1996 or later. In theory it may be from 1996 but in my view it's less likely than 1997. Why do think this frame is from an earlier date?
