Re: Thank's for all your comments . The frame number is definitely DT 153.

Yeah that's a Bob Jackson renovated decal.

The dropouts are circa late 70s or early 80s. it's well build and not too heavy. i have spend two hours searching for framebuilders of that era but not found one. Frame Number DT153.

Just finished putting together this vintage Bottecchia Giro d'italia from the late 60s I think. Goes well with my other Bottecchia Professional viewtopic.php?f=23&t=385250&p=2853667&hilit=bottecchia+professional#p2853667

Frejus off ebay to add to my collection of Italian bikes. After a trip to Bob Jackson's for a repaint, started assembling it back together.

Another project complete, this time a lovely late 70s Bottecchia Professional. Brought Frame and forks from ebay cleaned and touch in the paint work then add some old bits (Shimano Golden arrow). 3TTT bar and stem. Next up a Bottechia Giro d' italia in a lovely green color. Photo's to follow...

Re: Thanks for the link. i need to find one from the 60s or a Frejus to add to my growing collection of Italian classic's.

Re: Thanks for all your comments, yeah the cranks are the same but had to change the pedals. The only other things I've change are inner cables, HS + BB bearings,chain and new cloth bar tape.

Yet another project finished, this time a 1962 Mercian Campionissino 5 speed. I pick it up off ebay for a fair price but it was in need of some TLC. Decided against against having it repainted because after getting in touch with Mercian they informed me the decals were no longer available so...

Re: The 70s and 80s ones have the seat post clamp behind the seat post, will as far as the ones i've seen on the net anyway.
