Absolutely stunning. Too small for me, but I'd snap that up in an instant otherwise.

my dad might be interested

just let me know..

Beautiful.

I think it's for 27" wheels. There's certainly clearance (unless wheels pictured are 27").

700C wheels in the picture-lots of rooom also because of the looong dropouts

Hi,

I have got a similar bike and try to find some more information about it.
I believe it is one of the first Union Motta's build. The color is light blue, the logo's are in black. The lug at the seatpost has also a black diamond shape as at the front. My bike looks similar as in the interview between Theo Koomen and Wagtmans.
Instead of the black logo on the front, my bike has a badge like in your other post. http://www.lfgss.com/thread68954.html

Do you have any idea in what year my bike is build? Furthermore do you know if it is true that Motto only build these bikes the first years?
There is also a discussion that not Motta build the frame, but Colnago.
If you send me a PM we can talk in Dutch.
Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

In those days, Union was also the distributor of Colnago.
I've never heard that Union frames were produced by Colnago.

Early ones were built by Motta
later on union had a race department and built them themselves
(according to the race departments'son I met..)

yours is probably 1977..
