A local seller has a 1968 Stucchi & C Milano Sprint 10 speed for sale which has a Columbus frame with Campagnolo, Stronglight and Robert Gian components. There is not a lot of information on this company, does anyone know anything about it? I may go have a look at it today.

this forum post gives some marque history -

• #126

rights to name have changed ownership more than once

the name has a bit of confusion connected as there is also an unrelated G. Stucchi marque; this second name may be a house brand done for a retail shop

wonder if subject machine may be a Teodoro Carnielli product (speculation)

one piece of information which might advance inquiry would be to see placement & format of serial number, should one be present

forum member iab has knowledge of Stucchi history and may be able to state who owned the rights to the name at the time of this cycle

repechage

Needs a full rebuild, note the probable lack of chain tension, (upper sag) and it is in the middle of the range, my guess the rear mech has a clotted up jockey spring or it is tired out, parts will be hopeless to find but easy to exchange. Tubulars, good, but check rims for dents and trueness, brake levers and bars are wonky in adjustment.
if it fit could be a redeeming project but no goldmine.

Thanks for both of your replies. I ended up passing on this bike and will continue to look.
Cheers, Gordon
