Vitali Russi SLX

Got this lovely Vitali Russi SLX bike a few days ago. Will be fitted with a complete Croce d’Aune groupset.
Yes this is the one that got sold a few years ago here on LFGSS.

Stunning, you certainly have a type.

Thank you! I take that as a compliment that I have a type?

Oh absolutely, with type I meant pantos en masse, pink-shades/fades airbrush-type paintjobs.

Spot on!

And small framebuilders

Wow! Lots of early '90 Somec references! Paintwork by Dossi (or what was his name again)?

That paint job is sweet!

No Mario Martini

And it’s in superbe condition too!

Love this.

Classy as.

Can we have a front-on shot of the fork?

Will have to take another picture next week, I shoot at a location and not at home :)

yes indeed it all screams Somec. Was it done by them for Russi?

The framebuilder is from Russi in Italy, the builder was Vitali. No it was done by himself

what do you mean?

That Vitali built his own bikes, and was said that he built bikes for Somec also.

ah my bad, kept reading 'done by myself'

Just waiting for the chain, correct quickrelease and handlebar tape to arrive and she will be finished. This build went very very quickly
