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:)

The title says it all but here is the long version of the story. The bike was found in a hedge in Hoegaarden, Flanders (the town where they brew the “white” beer you serve with a slice of lemon). Not by me, but by a local who restores bikes, he stripped off the Matt black paint that covered...

Got one! On the large side but it is workable and the Tig welded version rather than lugged but it has the “proper fork” and horses on the top tube:cool: Still a work in progress but getting there.

Very nice! When it was for sale I has half an eye on it, but had no room in the garage. Enjoy it, it is a real beauty😀

I had an Aquila with SL rather than SLX tubes, so an 84 or 85 (I guess) the bottom bracket cut out looks similar, but the Panto on the Lugs were the Concorde logs and there was the Italian flag brazed on the top tube. This should suggest that your frame is a Ciocc but probably/possibly not an...

I am always late to the party: a great collection and as a Max fan I am deeply envious.😍. Is the Simoncini Columbus SLX with a Max fork?
