Fausto Coppi Gavia
The bike is a tad too big for me so I'm moving on to something else.
Just serviced with brand new brake and gear cables, brand new chain, all bearings greased and gears tuned. Amazingly smooth ride, really fast ride.
Seat tube CTT: 56cm
Toptube CTC: 56cm
Frame: Fausto Coppi Gavia alu frame and steel forks
Headset: Miche 1 inch Threaded
Handlebars: ITM Super Racing 40cm
Stem: ITM 12cm
Shifters: Shimano Tiagra 9 speed STIs
Front Mech: Shimano Tiagra
Rear Mech: Shimano Tiagra
Chainset: Shimano RX100
Chain: Shimano KMC XSP (Brand New)
Cassette: Shimano 11-23
Wheels: 700c Specialized Axis Classic rear and Mavic CXP22 front with large flange Condor hub
Tyres: Bontrager AW1 and Kenda Koncept 23mm
Brakes: Shimano RX100
Saddle: San Marco Rolls
Seatpost: Kenda
Pedals on the bike are only standard metal cage jobbies, but I can include RX100 ones if you wish to improve the bike's vintage look- the only issue is that I'm not 100% I have compatible toe clips for these, they look correct but I've never tried fitting them.
Frame paintwork has quite a few scuffs but no chips, except for one at the back of the rear brake bridge. Forks had some paint loss around the crown area- I've touched up these now. These Coppi frames seem to be known for their tough paint jobs, and mine is no exception- instead of the normal chips the frame has only suffered with chips from the paintwork's lacquer, and there's only a few of these too. However, there is one patch of cable rub on the headtube as well as a nick on the front brake caliper. I've also replaced nearly all the bike's decals, seeing as the originals had faded a good deal. Some of the fluting graphics are missing though as I couldn't get replacements.
Welcome to collect/inspect from Camberwell.
£160.
Another forum member quite recently put up a very similar Coppi model to mine for this price- but this was only for the frame as well as a few parts.
