Vittorio Strada MAX...Back from the Dead!

Hey Guys...

This is the 1994 Vittorio Strada MAX that I picked up from Mel awhile back...we're not sure if any more of these were ever made. Vittorios in general are pretty unheard of in the US. Frame is all MAX including fork and seatstays.

You might remember, both chainstays were rusted thru. I procured new production MAX stays from Ceeway (twice...first set was way out of spec) and had them replaced locally.

My painter came thru with a pretty damn decent pearl white paintjob (oldtimer...car guy...but has been painting anything and everything since he was a kid).

JR at Velocals was able to reproduce the decals from my photos...really nice job.

The build is an 11s built with a mis-mash of silver Campy bits and even a few Shimano parts (SP, cable housing and pedals...hah!).

The inspiration came from Mel's white Vittorio Strada SLX (now heading to L'Eroica).

She's no lightweight...but...she rides nice and puts the power down.
