Wanted: Viner Passo owners!
For no reason other than curiosity, I am trying to track down anyone else in the UK who owns and maybe even still rides the first generation Viner Passo. I bought one in 2009 from Epic Cycles and it served me brilliantly as a commuter during my four years in Cornwall. It has since been replaced by a younger model but I am thinking of getting the frame and fork refurbished.
Despite the fact that it is 'only' Dedacciai COM 12.5, I like the triangular tubing profile, neat tig welds and the geometry which - for what was described in the one and only review as a commuter - are remarkably sporty (seat tube 73.5 degrees/head tube 73 degrees).

I would just be interested to know if there are any of these still in action.
