De Rosa MTB !!!!!!!

[PhillB]

Yes, that's the plan. I was considering whether to strike a deal for the Nitto Ritchey seatpost and levers already on it, then try and source some mint or NOS parts. Got to thank you for this, as if you hadn't pointed it out to me I'd never have known. 150 Euro is a bargain

There are some Ritchey Logic levers on sale on here earlier today - I bought the black ones for the Moser.

I have a pair of the champagne ones, but shall need another
I do like Champagne stuff, I built this up once, had XC Pro levers and cantis. And matching Krystal Ti stem and 3T Prolight bars - for some extra champagne bling

Not sure if it’s one of a kind - but if anyone else knows of or has seen or heard of a Columbus Genius frameb MTB which is seemingly fillet brazed please let me know
And if anyone knows of the make, builder, race team or rider (R Sorci) please let me know.

Update
thanks to @Gtpulse - some information regarding the maker Venturi has come to light.

The longest running bike company in Cesena, and one of the oldest in Italy. It is the “Venturi” of Cesena, founded in 1919 and which received the Bottega Storica recognition. Its founder, Augusto , was...

I know you're at opposite sides of London which means you might as well live in different countries...

So close yet so far!

That's really nice, I love the design on that. Do you still have it?
A little more down to earth, but Shimano did a limited edition STX with 'Champagne' anodising in 1994. I have this on a Breezer.

I think a Champagne finish would look fab with the paint colour on the Amelio Bianchi

 

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

Do you love it?

We should start a 'Show Us your Simoncini' thread

Yes I do. It has some very beautiful features. I'm not sure how I'll build it yet, just discovered it's spaced 130mm which opens many possibilities. It has cable stops under the down tube, so barcons or sti could be used. @ibbz it's this one, 350 miles round trip

Well maybe one day a rendezvous will take place! The hardest decision will be what bike to bring with you!
