ggg300's turn to shill for BD: Bottecchia
Hate me now...
Ok….I have ordered two bikes from BD (one for my father in law and a fixed for me) and have had a good experience. I will be getting a new bike soon and was looking at pulling the trigger but pm-d Mike at BD and asked when his new bikes were coming out and he replied:

Hi
threads about us are always good
new CF Immortal at $1200, $1500, AND $1900 ALL ON THE WAY IN JUNE/JULY
CF triple crank Century models due in Sept
then Campy Record equipped Immortal due in the fall
Plus a Full Ultegra CF Immortalin September
so we will have about 10 assorted Motobecane CF models by fall - all price ranges and specs.
mike"
So I have been lurking the BD bike “companies” and holy crap… https://www.bottecchia.com.au/
It looks like he ditched the corny web pages and the bikes look well:
nice
I think Mike stated that these or bikes like em were coming our way...https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=278553&page=2
I wounder why these bikes are not on BD and ebay or are they?

From the website:
Since 1926 Bottecchia has been at the forefront of cycling technology. We continue to strive to manufacture class leading bicycles in the Racing and Transport sphere!
Bottecchia is now represented all over Europe with 300 dealers in Italy as well as dealers in Germany, Belgium, France, Austria, Denmark, Britain and Slovenia. In 2006 Bottecchia appointed Cycling Extremo Internazionale as exclusive distributors for Australia & New Zealand.

Notice that they don't mention the US.

Yup, Bottechia USA is another BD (more or less) brand. I wouldn't compare their bikes to anything overseas.

We can and Bottecchia surely wants us too
and we are the only authorized vendor of Bottecchias in the USA
Please check this out:
https://www.metaquotes.net/forex/eurusd/
As you can see, it will take some adsjustment before we can afford to bring Bottecchias from Italy or even Campy stuff.
We operate in a global market place, as you know.
