Pavarin Special Classic Road Bike 1970s

Achille Pavarin is an Italian expert bicycle producer from Calcinate del Pesce (Varese, northern Italy). In 1974 he decided to open his own bike store and to produce custom steel frames.

As many other Pavarin frames, this one is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and was built by Marnati

Do you remember the epic 1952 Tour de France picture of Coppi and Bartali passing a water bottle? If you look closer you also see a man popping out from a convertible team car behind them. That is exactly Umberto Marnati, mechanic of Fausto Coppi in the 1950s, later frame builder at Legnano and Bianchi Reparto Corse.

Having learnt lacing wheels and welding very young, Umberto Marnati decided to start manufacturing bicycles under his own name. And as it happend, he opened his own atelier in Milan - led by his son Daniele from the 1970s onward - a city with a tradition of excellent frame builders with Marniti being no exception

This Pavarin Special Classic Road Bike from the 1970s perfectly shows how accurate and meticulous Marnati frames are. Made of Columbus tubing, this bicycle is a true heap of refined details which are worth being mentioned. Just as the fine cut-outs on the lugs representing Marnati's emblem

This Pavarin is furthermore equipped with Campagnolo Nuovo Record and Super Record parts, 3ttt cockpit, Weinmann brakes, Nisi rims and a 3ttt saddle.

A true classic road bicycle for participating in L´Eroica!
