Real beayty. I'll admire French bike brands Look and Time. If there wouldn't be Italy, these would be my top brands in road cycling. Pedals and bottle cages actually are Look and one cage come from Time.
This particular bike is owned by a lawyer and built in Velosport by Kimmo. I like the stem and the triange shape of the frame. Strong branding in visual elements in this bike, wich is totally OK for me. See details - it's handmade in France!

Must find some more info about Passoni brand and history. Raikka from Velosport was impressed after studied these bikes in this season international bike shows. Hi-end ti-frame builder in Italy as I understood his report?

Checked the factory site and found more pictures and product info
The most interesting and beautiful bikes are here. Ti + carbon frame with Cinelle Sram, Lightweight Wheels, Campa Super Record.
The white version looks sophisticated and there is also a bike of stainless steel - the black one.
