The RD is missing its pivot bolt, and I'm guessing that's toast. The rest looks okay.
The Campy looks low end to me, but I don't know - I've never had ANY thing Campy before. And the forks have a Columbus sticker, but there's no such Columbus on the main triangle, just a "Made in Italy" sticker. But the thing _does_ feel light.
Any one have any info they can offer me about this bike?
Hi John,
I used to own an identical one of these right down to the hot pink... bought it as a teenager for the parts (the frame was a 47 cm on mine, way too small) then got into an accident and was out of biking for many years. I believe the model is
"Campione D'Italia", it is a midrange model with I believe Columbus Tretubi... I see you're in Ottawa, the last time I was in the Bike Dump (on Catherine Street?) they still had their version in Celeste Green sitting on the rack, asking price
$750 which IMO is way too much... there's another fellow on here who I believe is in Edmonton who had one so maybe do a search on the model for a bit more info. It should have early Syncro indexed shifting which has been widely panned,
I currently ride a bike with Syncro II from about 4 years later and I keep it on friction shift...
In any event, when I sold my Bianchi I wound up getting $425 for it, with Record wheels. A beautiful find!
