A guy came today and bought a set of wheels from me for his '82 Simoncini.
I was very impressed with the guy (John), and of course by his bike!

He was unfamiliar with this forum, so I told him I'd post some pics and e-mail him the link. I also told him how experienced and expert our members are, and that they would no doubt have some comments and/or background on this great-looking Italian bike.

Thanks!

Wow, a dream bike of mine. Thanks for the pictures

Beautiful classic!

Dang!, that bike looks minty fresh!
Uhmmmm..... no "H" on "Simoncini", please.....

Very nice! The Simoncini shop is still very much alive. I exchanged e-mails with Orlando a few years back about a frame I'd found, and he also had a stand a last year's edition of L'Eroica in Gaiole, as he's from Tuscany as well. Nice guy, who builds beautiful bikes.

Nice bike.

I think the hands in the air victory celebration on the head tube is great, That bike has the engraved version whereas I have the later decal version.

There are a few other Simoncini owners around these parts, here's my multi-coloured one, the Columbus Max fork I added recently.

Good catch.
I edited the text, but don't know how to correct the title.

I couldn’t keep it because it was too small.

This is a beautiful color combo...I am going to paint my worn out Raleigh International in a similar fashion.
Any chance to get a closeup of the tubes going into the head tube and the BBshell?
Best, Ben

Hi Ben, thanks, it gets lots of attention out on the road, I guess it really stands out amongst the more modern bikes riding around here in London. Some more pics for you as requested.

Thanks very much....Suoer looking bike, Thanks for the pictures, Ben
