Hey guys, I picked this up on OLX for R200. Can anyone help me identify what model it is? Shamal/Vento/Zonda?

 

Thanks!

 

[Schmorglebot]

definitely a Shamal. It has a C-Record front hub which is the giveaway. Nice score

 

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

 

Its a beautiful wheel, bearings are a bit rough though. Is it just a standard cup and cone setup?

It was such a busy program at the South African Cycling Reunion at the Bellville Velodrome that I unfortunately took far to few photos, but here are a few of some of the bikes and displays at least.

Here is my contribution to the retro bike thread. I bought this Battaglin from an elderly gentlemen. I intend to send her into the shop soon for a service and respray.

My advice, for it's worth.

 

If you want the Battaglin to maintain it's value, don't respray.

 

This depends on it's present condition, of course.

dont just respray it, let someone who knows see the condition first or you could ruin a collectabe bike ...........

Thank you for the advice. I admit I am no bike expert. Will post pics.

Bought an old Super on The Hub a couple of weeks ago which needed some love. Gave her the same treatment as the Battaglin a while ago and she turned out quite nice.

Reckon it's fair to say that "quite nice" is an understatement!!

I'm not so sure its a Shamal hey - I had a set which i bought with my first Bianchi and they had 12 spokes - I think the Zonda had 16.  Unless there were two versions of Shamal maybe?

Here's the pdf I got with my Shamals
