I just purchased a mid 80's red and white Botteccia made with Columbus SPX tubing. The SPX is better for me because I am a big guy (240lbs) and even though I wanted SLX because it is lighter I opted for the stronger (and heavier) frame. Before I start putting money into the restoration project, I would like to hear some opinions as to the quality of this frame. I've seen a lot of ditching of the brand in the later years but not much on the mid 80's bikes. I have considered just selling this frame in favor of a DeRosa or a Tommasini for my restoration project but I really like the looks of this frame. Any opinions from owners of this bike or someone who knows about them?
