Description
Grandis is one of those traditional Italian brands which are still producing innovative road bikes in Italy to this day. The founder, Silvino Grandis, was involved in lightweight racing bikes since 1930. With the years his expertise grew and he was a technician who was often asked for advice. As mechanic he supported many teams.
By 1965 he started to produce and sell high end bicycles under his name, always supported by his wife Ines. His brand was known for its technical brilliance right from the start and his bikes found him some real fame among cycling enthusiasts. Since Silvino had to be present at many races and business was ever growing, his sons Mario and Ezio stepped in. Together they managed to build up advanced facilities in Verona, including laboratories to test and develop new methods of frame building. Their innovative thinking combined with classical expertise made them one of the most interesting bicycle manufacturers in Italy.
This Grandis Record Classic Road Bicycle was one of their early 1980s models
Our exemplar dates back to approximately 1981 and is made of light and strong Columbus steel tubes. It is fully equipped with Campagnolo Super Record and record parts - possibly the best groupset available at that time! Additionally it has been outfitted with new convenient Galli Clasico clincher rims and Cinelli parts, being the stem and the bar.
Very classic and well balanced. A bicycle which belongs to the fine Italian bicycle manufacturing tradition! The performance of this Grandis will make you feel comfortable on almost any ride.
