Stella SX-76

Really great job! +1

We sold a few Stellas in the mid 70's. The workmanship was exceptional for French production bikes. I always liked those top of the line SX-76 Columbus framed all Campy bikes. They were pretty rare.

The chrome on those Stellas went south fast. That's why I passed on a few of those frames.

A friend picked up this Stella SX-76 frame for a Bastille Day ride in 2011. Someone had covered the rusted lugs with silver paint. His frame had Campy vertical dropouts. I never understood why Stella used Columbus tubing which was uncommon for French bikes rather than Reynolds 531.
