1985 Colnago Super. 9sp DA, Rolf Vector Pro's with Hugii hubs. The black portions of the frame are crosshatched like CF, hence the CF cage and crankset.

Loving the Cinelli Alter silver stem. Is this with a 1” threadless fork or with a Quill adapter? Also, I can’t tell if you have one of the pin up girls on your Alter or not. I also like like the Campy wheels and notice you are running Hutchinson tubeless tires. What has your experience been with the tubeless BTW. Lastly I’m just curious about the toe clips and straps - you aren’t a fan of clipless? BTW: Love your Cinelli. Great color and great chrome lugs. I love the Cinelli seatstay/saddle clamp detail. |
1988 Puch
My poor, neglected Puch got some bling, thanks to several BF C&V enablers. I’ll also post in the Campy Triples thread. This nice SLX frame deserved some love ❤️ https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...d4d5b445d.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...33df30968.jpeg |

1988 was the first year Bianchi had the brand. I assume that’s who made the frame. Very refined and a lovely ride. Even better now on the hills with my aging limbs. |

I upgraded to Campy Athena 11speed on my 1989 Bottecchia SLX. As I got older it was easier to shift using brifters, instead of DT shifters. Also it is a bit hilly where I live so 11 speeds are easier on my old knees than 7 or 9 speeds. I picked Athena because the silver finish was closer in look to the original Campy gruppo. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...33fe58a7c.jpeg |
@eja_bottecchia, very nice work. That’s a beauty! |
That Bottecchia is a thing of beauty.

I had a squirrel get caught in my rear wheel on my fixie. He went thump thump thump against the frame until I stopped and he fell out. He survived! |

I've perused this thread for years now, and I always dreamed of building a bike that was fitting for it. So being that this was the thread that helped me come up with the ideas for this bike and helped me build this Pogliaghi, I thought I would show off the finished product here. I want to thank everyone for posting their beautifully updated vintage bikes, so many of which inspired this build. It's a real mix of old and new. I've only had it out for a short ride because of the weather, and I need to do some final fitting, but it feels great so far, quick and nimble. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...04f96a02c8.jpg |

Thank you!
I love your beautiful Bottecchia, so I really appreciate the compliment from you!:) I wouldn’t ride her until summer, when the sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing in the trees.:D |
@eja_bottecchia
That's great looking machine:thumb: |

Your bike is beautiful. It is clear that you considered every detail of the build. I wouldn’t ride her until summer, when the sun is shining brightly and the birds are singing in the trees.:D Its going to be 60 degrees on Tuesday here, and I'm so tempted to go for a ride, but the streets are bleach white with salt, so yeah, I'll wait for the birds and sun of springtime.:) |

You know, I really did sweat every detail on this build, maybe because it is my last, but this was going to be the build with no compromise, so thanks for noticing.

Only the Campagnolo Chorus brifters and the Shimano Deore RD are modern-ish, the rest is at least thirtyfive years old. 15-speed Ergo:

CAAD3 Campy build I did a few years back. And the GT with sram is my current roadie. Hardest parts of both builds was finding the fork.

That GT looks killer. The saddle to bar drop is positively track-like.
