Description
Bottecchia is a very traditional company which started as the small cyclery of Carnielli and was improved in 1924 by Ottavio Bottecchia, the first Italian Tour de France winner (1924, 1925). A new company with a new name “Bottecchia” was born after the mysterious and tragic death of Ottavio Bottecchia in 1926.
Their bicycles carried numerous champions to victory. Many of you out there still remember how Greg Lemond won his 1989 Tour de France on a Bottecchia Equipe.
This Bottecchia has the typical complete flat black paint of the Team SCIC-Bottecchia of the late 1970s, though with slightly different decals.
Both front and rear stays are chromed - as actually is the whole frame under the paint, giving a shiny contrast to the flat black of its main triangle.
The Columbus tubed frameset basically underwent a complete cleaning and all parts have been serviced to make sure that our Bottecchia is ready to be ridden.
Cherry on the top: a Campagnolo Super Record groupset, plus a rare 'direct mount' SCIC bottle and Bottecchia pedal straps.
A bicycle with Italian DNA. For serious racing. Approved to take part in Eroica events.
