That Bottecchia has the perfect early '70s vibe. It reminds me of Doug Dale's venerable Cinelli Corsa A.

Universal made very nice brakes. When I built up my Roberts with #68 sidepulls I took some grief from my friends, but they served me very well. Do you have photos of the Follis and Zeus? Many many years ago I connected a girlfriend to a beautiful Follis 972 that was practically made for her. And I always regretted impatiently jumping on a Raleigh International instead of waiting for my flaky neighborhood dealer to find me a Zeus.
