Stelbel Ciclocross Rare Bicycle 1985

Stelbel is an Italian brand founded in 1973 by STELio BELletti. Undoubtedly one of the most creative and skilled frame builders of the 20th century, Stelio Belletti learned the process of TiG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) from his father Antenore, a planes fuselages welder.

He was a very talented craftsman, and as it happened, in the 70s Mr. Belletti had the idea of using TiG welding to build bicycle frames without lugs, becoming a pioneer of this manufacturing in the bicycle industry.

Our Stelbel is a prime example of Mr. Belletti's work with the smoothest joints and meticulous details. He was also a big cyclocross fan and has built several frames for the muddy discipline, these pieces are extremely rare though. And so we are proud to offer you this Stelbel Ciclocross racing bike, which stems from the middle of the 80s. As a cross bike the shifting cables are routed alongside the top tube, it's fitted with cantilever brakes, the bottom bracket is positioned slightly higher and the whole geometry has been tweaked. That with a generous tyre clearance means that you can take this beautiful yet tough machine off the road and enjoy every moment of it.Such a great frame deserved the best parts and Campagnolo Super Record groupset certainly is the right choice. If you are after a superb vintage bike which gives you more freedom than a classic road bike, this Stelbel is simply perfect for you.
