Wilier Ramata Classic Road Bike 1978

May there be more better known bikes - it still is fair enough to say that Wilier Triestina are some of the most beautiful racing bicycles ever manufactured.
Known as "Ramata" amongst enthusiasts - Ramata, feminine for Ramato which in Italian means copper plated - the Wilier Triestina has always appealed to collectors around the globe like few other bicycles.
The paintwork is certainly the highlight of any Wilier Triestina Ramata: a translucent paint coat over polished chromed tubes - Columbus SL in this case.
This particular model dates back to the late 1970s and it's frame is still in unrestored original condition. Even the chroming is still good and the frame is therefore almost as shiny as it used to be when it left the Wilier workshop over 40 years ago.
Regarding the components, this Wilier Triestina is equipped with Campagnolo Nuovo Record shifting and drivetrain. Apart from it, we should mention the splendid seatpot which is pantographed and the Wilier branded saddle.

A splendid original Wilier Ramata. Glowing like an amber. Approved to take part in Eroica events worldwide.
