Description
Somec Professional Classic Road Bicycle 1990s. The Somec, or the 'Societa Mechanica', was a group formed by Giro d'Italia mechanic Oliviero Gallegati in the 1960s, in order to set the standards in a frame building field. He then opened a workshop in Lugo, Italy and named it after the mentioned group - 'Somec'.
The Somec builds bicycles in very small volume and this exemplar is not an exception in its rarity. In fact, it is the very valuable Professional model. The frame is made of Columbus Thron tubes, which are connected together by a TIG welding method recognizable by fantastically smooth welds. Just look at those transitions from a tube to tube! This method saves weight and makes the frame very stiff.
The bicycle is equipped with the top of the line Shimano Dura Ace 7400 groupset, which ensures a trouble free ride. Another interesting components this racer sports are extravagant ITM Goccia stem or a Campagnolo Ypsilon rims.
The frame is painted in interesting color pattern, something very typical for Somec.
If you are looking for a very rare competitive racer, this one is for you!
