No, not the fluffy black and white bear or the old box of sh*te from Fiat but this baby:-

It's a Panda Pro-Am mini that I saw on US ebay a couple of weeks ago. Quite a rare frame but what struck me was how beautiful it is - I flippin' love the lines and patina of it!

Anyway, I couldn't afford it and don't want a mini so didn't bid but thought I'd share the pic!

I agree... it's nice.

Looking at this again, it kind of reminds me of a Birmingham Wheels frameset. Kind of!

Panda have been round since the 70's, crazy angles on some off their rides...I have a 75 px1 that needs restoring and the seat tube angle is awesome.

That pro am is cool...I think boss bought them out?

I don't know much about the early Panda stuff but love the 80s' Boss frames. Carlo (or was it Carlos) Lucia could certainly build some sweet-looking frames:- Panda, Boss, some of the early Pattersons and latterly, L&S.
