Evaluation request 1972 Bottecchia - Giro 'd Italia
1972 Bottecchia
Giro ' Italia. 58cmX57.5cm (ctc), 15.8cm headtube. 12cm stem
same frame/fork as top level Pro model, but lesser components - Columbus SP in this frame size.
2nd owner here. The original owner changed rims from tubular to clincher and ditched the first saddle.. I changed the seatpost (may still have original seat pin and saddle clamp) to a Selcof and the Record Pat'72 rd for Pat'73 NR. I also rode it with a lighter tubular wheelset (pictured), and the freewheel on the clincher set may need replacement.
New gum rubber hoods from France for Universal brake levers, Carnielli stem, Nervar crank, Campy shifter, ders. New cables&housing, vintage vinyl bar tap. Could benefit from new brake pads. Original paint/chrome & decals in very good condition for 50 year old bike. No dents. Some paint chips.
missing the ‘Giro ‘d Italia’ decal on top tube
This is the clincher set
