Re:

So many bikes to like there! Wish I could have come along! Is this going to be an annul event?

The Olmo with the gold fade, the Vianelli, and the Spezotto stand out for me.

As well, of course, as the Bianchis. Looks like the same frame as mine in the foreground.

All lovely bikes though! Amazing to get them all together.

Over to Classic Rendezvous now to find out some info about them! :roll:

Re:

I spoke to Pierfranco Vianelli's son who still runs the business, all the steel framed vianellis were custom builds, the one I built has a gilco tubed frame like Colnago master and is build with correct super record parts, but c record brake levers; Pierfranco ride for the Italian national team during the 60s. I have a smaller framed fully pantograph version in emerald green also; you may find more of my bikes on that site!

Was just sitting wondering why the Ciocc or Chesini didn't stand out for you and realised they are only in the background, so a few more photos - amazing paintwork on the Chesini and the Ciocc (it's in the background behind the Bianchis) was just lovely.
(And as you liked the Spezzotto, a closer look )

Re:

Yes, that's fair enough, so many nice bikes.

Have a soft spot for Bianchis, having owned one until recently, when it became unrideable.

Still on the lookout for a replacement for it.
