My contribution to the www list. Don't think it's been listed.

 

Nice site, thanks

If any budding artisans would be interested in buiding their own frame, this site's worth a look.

You can buy lugs, BB shells, tubing etc.

Just bought this, cost me R1.8K, but I think it was worth it. Not too many of these around, the Italian ones anyway. Lot's of the UK Halfords ones, made in China. But these were, and are still as far as I know, hand built in Italy.

That's a very good price I would say. It looks in extremely good condition. Nice unique buy. I like it a lot.

Heyyou

 

Agree!

 

Nice colouring with the blue art work. The lug work is excellent plus it has lovely drop outs.

 

I spotted a nice Cinelli ridden by one of the gardeners in the area. It has lots of chrome on the back and chain stays. The fork is well raked and the bike must have been a quality tourer in its day. Trying to convince the owner to sell the bike or swap for a new supermarket MTB but he is not bitting at the moment.

 

Sent the DHC track bike to be sprayed and have another day or two to chose the colour. Changed my mind a couple of times thus far.

Very nice. I believe those were made by Giovanni Pelizzoli, who owned Ciocc at the time.

Just seen I'm on my TRIPLE NELSON!!!!

Thanks guys. Javadude, I can't find any reference to Pelizzoli building Carrera frames, it seems Carrera was started in 1989:

anyway, I'll keep searching of course.

 

For those collecting real antiques, I came across this site, very interesting.

I did some more research, cant back up my claim. I did find out that Ciocc made frames for Concorde and Battaglin. Battaglin is linked to Carrera because that is what Stephen Roche won the TDF on when he was sponsored by Carrera in 87, before they had their own frames.

very nice.

Yup! One of the more colourful strips in the peleton in those days!

 

Always made me have a quiet giggle.
