I have a couple of friends doing the lovely Italian ride and they need a compliant bike.They have asked me to help find a bike.
You probably know pre '87 ish steel frame, down tube shifters, steel,I know some other stuff is needed , but it can be changed.
They would prefer italian Colnago, pinarello,Ciocc, Tommasini etc, but would consider others, they need to be in good condition and there's a reasonably healthy budget for the right bike.please pm me if you have a suitable bike or know one for sale.
It's unusual that not many have been on here lately, is everyone hanging on to theirs... I am.
Me and my ciocc are returning for another go at it, and I'm hoping it's not as hot this year. -

I'd have to agree about the wrist pain , up to 100 miles it was tolerable a then the fun factor went a bit.Can't imagine the panic my brain would have picking a route across the cobbles in the wet.
The iconic showers were fab, i went for big maggy's as there was a bit of a queue of Italians for moser's.
A big thumbs up for campag neutrons and 28mm 4 season tyres.. no punctures
i'm always biased where merckx frames are concerned , but you have to say that colour scheme just works so well.
It's a beaut mate.
