Simoncini Cyclocross Special with 2x10 Campagnolo
1994-ish Simoncini with 10 speed Carbon Chorus $1000 OBO. The bike is in southern Wisconsin not far from Chicago, Milwaukee or Madison. I will ship but buyer covers all costs.
I’m continuing to thin the herd. The 1972 Chrome Schwinn Paramount & a 1972 painted Paramount plus a 1984-ish De Rosa Professional annd a Pinarello Gavia are recently sold. I’ll probably keep my 1971 PX-10 and 1985-ish Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra.
The 1994-ish Simoncini Cyclocross Special is the most fun & most versatile Italian bike I’ve owned. It's a Cyclocross racer from a mid-sized hand-builder. It is Columbus CROMOR tubing using lugs. It fits 700x32 tires easily. It's fast on pavement with a silky smooth ride and it covers firm gravel like a modern Endurance or Cyclocross bike. It's an ideal crushed limestone path & pavement use bike. The frame looks great with no scratches or dents. There is some inevitable & superficial corrosion near the cable housing guides. The tubing is CROMOR and the bike was built with an 8-speed cassette & Ergo Levers in mind. The rear drop-out is 130mm from the factory. . If you think that all steel bikes should have down-tube shifters, please stop reading now; this bike is not for you.
“near new” means the parts were new prior to the build. The bike has 400 miles since the build in 2016.

Funny, .... over many years I have truly admired your bikes and being the same frame size always thought (hoped?) I would buy from you, when you culled. The last few months have seen me reduce my inventory by 8 complete bikes and a couple of lower priority project builds. With an equal number still to let go that are loved.
Dreams best left in Dreamland, I guess.
Moving on - simplifying & downsizing where needed.
