Absolutely lovely😍 and good to see that it will be ridden. If you are switching to 23mm and want to get rid of the 25s I’d be interested in taking them off your hands

Always a great day out. I am lucky as I only live an hour drive away, but am always impressed by the numbers coming over from the UK. I always have the impression that half of Essex is on the ride:).

Registrations now open for RR 2025, rides on 15th June. Now with a new 150km route, although route details not yet available. https://www.retroronde.be/en

Is that a stopwatch on the handlebar stem?…proper old school:cool:👍

Merckx were ITA standard, a legacy of Eddy learning from De Rosa. Having said that I would agree with @Battersby , it looks very Moser to me. Whatever it is, if it is the right size and the price is right (and if “unidentified” it should be cheap), it will build up into a very nice bike.

Ohh, I had one of those back in the day and it was lots of fu: Very light (for the time) and quick but a little flexy. As others have said, change the brakes as the weinmann’s were not great. Peugeot also did a version with all Japanese kit so old Shimano exage or 105 would do the job. If you...

753 has a reputation for this due to the thinness of the tubes. No idea if this is the reality or just the internet echo chamber.

What a fantastic frame! The seat tube is 54 Centre to Centre?

For the hoods have you considered coconut oil? I tried it once on a pair with a 50% success rate. If you think they are dead it might be worth a go as there is nothing to lose. https://thevelocollective.com/restoring-brake-hoods/

Now gone to a new home!

Lovely bike! Where are you based?

I am looking for the final piece for my current build: an 80mm or 90mm mutant quill stem in silver. If you have one you don’t need please get in touch.👍

The bike has returned to its homeland and a life in the sun (with, judging by last week, occasional very heavy rain!)

Hi, sorry I was away and not checking here regularly, if you are still interested send me a pm.

The Coppi will be going to Gaiole and, one way or another, not coming back (I need the space in the bike bag to bring something else home ;)) It is now any offer considered time:)
