Description
Giovanni (Vanni) Losa was an expert frame builder from Vittuone, close to Milan. He is responsible for some of the finest classic steel frames around. He mostly built frames as a contractor for other famous companies.
Among his works are several models for Magni and Cinelli, including the Cinelli Super Corsa from the 1990s until 2008.
Many of his bikes are easily recognisable by the refined triangular engravings with a "V" shape (from his nickname Vanni) on the lugs - a particularity of most Losa frames.
When Losa made a bike that was to actually bear his own name, it always turned out to be an extra special piece of artisan frame building. And ours is no exception.
It is a real masterpiece. With the seat tube crimped in for a shorter wheelbase and a better responding bike.
This Losa is made of Columbus tubes with the special Columbus CX fork, and also the rear stays have the distinctive CX shape.
This bike is fully equipped with a Campagnolo Super Record groupset. Under the disguise of a modest design here comes an absolute super sportster which can compete with any of the professional bikes of its time, to say the least.
A bike for connoisseurs.
