Description
Antonio Borgognoni was the father of one of the most promising Italian cycling talents. His son Luciano was already an Italian champion and world champion of the Amateurs when he started his career as a professional in 1973. Although he was considered the coming super star of Italian cycling, he could not keep up with the great expectations, partly to his discipline. Instead Francesco Moser who became professional in the same year rose to the top.
But besides being the father of a famous cyclist, Antonio Borgognoni was also the owner of a fine bicycle manufacture in Gallarate (Varese, Northern Italy). His bikes are classic and elegant top notch machines. Just like our Borgognoni BORG.a. classic road bike from the 1980s.
The frame is formed by Columbus SL tubes, the material of most professional bikes back then, and microfusion lugs. The rear stays as well as the fork are fully chromed. And the brake levers were refined with excellent drillium works.
The groupset is a complete Campagnolo - simply the best of everything. And on top there are pantographed shifters and stem.
This 1980s dreambike is thoroughly checked and ready to be ridden to where ever you would like to go.
And be assured, it rides as divine as it looks.
