Somec - Società Meccanica enthusiasts

It is a wonderful Somec, among the earliest I have seen so far. For example I had never seen the S on the front lower lug of the headtube before.

Lovely paint and in amazing conditions, great groupset...definitely a bike worth keeping!

I got this instead :-p

Which I think is more modern. If you find another one with that logo, do let me know.

This on ebay! Dont sell it! keep and ride

Which is on ebay?;-)

I would keep it but I'm not the guy to have a bike like this. I'm into Italian transportation with a slightly different pony logo. The seats are a bit more comfortable. This bike would be better served in the hands of a true bike aficionado.

Thanks

Sorry I took it off eBay. On some great advise I'll hold on to it till spring and sell it.

It's the latest Somec logo:

I'm owning this track frame now, gonna rebuild it with 1inch chromed plate fork and some C-record stuff..

I regard to the history of my bike I received this from Somec. Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction.

Ciao Kevin !

Congratulation for being the owner os such a Masterpiece ! It is always a great emotion for me to see our vintage bikes in so good shape.

This bike it is a Somec of the end 70' beginning 80'. The bike has been baught from our german reseller, Willi Singer from Augsburg-germany, (who was also a profi rider for a Bianchi team). Then he sold the bike to someone and now is yours.

The paint it is a special paint called "cromovelato" infact it is a transperent red. It was the best of that time.

The tubes as you can see are Columbus and the components are Campagnolo.

Always at your disposal.

Kind regards

Somec/Lara

Impressive how they still keep track of sales happened 40+ years ago... Well done Somec.
If that's the correct saddle height, the bike appears to be too large for you, however, a bike in this age and conditions should be kept indoor, so don't feel guilty to not riding it. Rise the saddle and hang it on a wall at home! That's a really beautiful bike.

It's so nice that they reply like that.

It fits me very well I'm 6'3". I'm going to sell it and give it a proper home to a rider that will take care of it and keep it in the shape it's in. As I mentioned I'm a Ferrari and Maserati guy. I know cars not bikes but I definitely appreciate Italian craftsmanship.

You can check INBOX Kevin.

My 80's Somec in this tread is up for sale. It's the perfect time of year to hit the road with this Italian work of art. I have other pictures if required.
