Description
Giovanni (Vanni) Losa was an expert frame builder from Vittuone (close to Milan) who 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 frames for Cinelli (including the Super Corsa from the 1990s until 2008), and Magni. Many of his bikes are easily recognisable from 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 named after him it always was an extra special piece of artisan framebuilding and ours is no exception.
It is a custom made masterpiece. With the rear braking cable running in a groove inside the top tube and 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 it 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.
