Daccordi 50th anniversary (Beauty Revealed)

Before the first lockdown I came across this particular frame which was a barn find and couldn't let go so easily. In 1986 Luiggi Daccordi celebrate his 50th anniversary as a framebuilder with an Limited Edition of frames.Only 2000 where produced and mine was frame Nr 1700.This I thought needs to have a special treat so I decided to built it with a 1st gen of campagnolo c record which would be gold plated. So the project began.Parts where collected piece by piece found on the way some retrofriction rare shifters and when all gathered together i dismantled them cleaned buffed and 14k gold plated.For my luck i came across some nos 50th Campagnolo gold rims so i said what the heck put it also to work and so i did and laced them up to a c record nos hub set with dot Swiss spokes.As a total the results justifies my work and was absolutely astonishing.Enjoy as i will!!!

Absolutely incredible 👍👍

Amazing! I’d be scared to ride it.

What’s the correct attire when riding this? Would look daft with Rapha and aero helmet

Hello can you collaborate? I cannot understand

It's a forum in-joke about the travesty of turning beautiful road frames into 2007 era fixie skidding machines.

That is extraordinary!

Lol😁 imagine that i will kill myself or other will if i do that!!!!

Wow, that’s peak bling! It needs a pair of these though:

And I’d try to route the brake cables behind the bars for a more elegant curve.
Do you know whether Campagnolo offered those rims with the 50th decals? My guess would be that they were labelled up by a third party, much like the many 50th stems which weren’t official Campagnolo offerings.

Many thanks i was thinking of the cable route also but i saw others do like that seems more reasonable to put in front of bar to me...As for the rims I’d say yes it was offered by campy as i have the original papers to prove it.

That’s interesting to hear. I’ve seen a lot of 50th equipped bikes but never with those rims. Any chance you could upload a scan of those campa papers? I’d really appreciate it :)
