I know it's not everyone's cup of splosh, but I love it and it is in original paint with the original owner's name on the top tube...I won't change the wheels either, as he had them built as his 'Sunday best' years ago......
Hetchins Magnum Bonum Scorpion
Apparently slightly different to most and could be a special order.....original bill of sale was lost in a house move!
Campag SR first gen seatpin (colnago Panto'd) and rear mech, SR front mech, Apparently a Campag/Colnago special chainset, but some say a Gipiemme.....either way I like it.
Gold (yep, I know) Galli brakes, gold anno Excelto hubs (excellent quality) laced to red anno CXP33's......(I know as well!!). Brooks honey tape around some NOS Middlemore randonneur bars, Cinelli stem, Brooks honey pro saddle......I think thats it.
It has the unusual 'Italiante' rear stays, which I like as well.......
Very nice contrasting head tube colours, with the gold lined in white and the ruby flam lined in gold..
Like I say, not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it lots........and it gets lots of miles too ;o)
