Just got this very cheap off Ebay. Last minute spot and bid. First time Coppi owner, so any info or ideas for the build are very welcome.

Proper pictures once it arrives.

My Coppi - believed to be a Genius Lugano.
To be honest it looks like most others on here except for some missing decals and a chrome seat post clamp lug. Forks are Mizuno CF.

Finally found myself a Coppi. Not the green Campionnissimo I really wanted but a (satisfying) pearl white Lugano 53 (Columbus Genius tubing).

That looks lovely - what a great find!

Thanks but I think I paid too much for it (300 euro). But condition is OK and it's the kind of frames you don't find easily around here so I think I will get over it. ;-)

It's a very light frame too. I have several steel frames from mid till end nineties (1998 Master X Light, 1998 Look KG 243, 1996 Cinelli Supercorsa, 1998 Ciöcc Falco, 1994 Carrera Nivacrom) but I really think this is one of the lightest. I think I will finish it with modern parts to keep it as light as possible.

I think once you ride it, you'll think it was a bargain.

Mine weighs 9 kg with period parts but rides like it weighs 6 kg.

Hmm, now you really make me want to build it asap. ;-) What parts did you use for yours? You went for the DA7400?

Anyone after free bib shorts?

Branded Technogym / Fausto Coppi.

Size 6 so for the either tall kind or heavy kind.

These will need a real good clean as the bib pad is stained but hey, they are Fausto Coppi branded and free...

PM me!

Bump on an old thread...
After looking for a new commuter I came across a '97 Fausto Coppi Reparto Corse with misc Campag bits. Upon collection, its condition was much better than I had anticipated. After breaking a lever and getting a good deal on a Centaur groupset, I have decided it is much too nice to commute on. Now slowly undergoing a facelift.

Photos from when I got it. More to follow.
