1980s  VICINI  57 cm       $1150

This classic frame is from a smaller Italian builder. The company shop was in the city of Cesena, in the Emilia-Romagna region of the country, just northwest of San Marino. The frame and components, some new-old stock, are in exceptional condition! See more photos of the bicycle here.

Late-2000s  PINARELLO  Opera Cellini  54 cm     $1000

The Opera line was created in 1998 by Fausto Pinarello to explore new materials and manufacturing techniques in a market dominated by carbon and titanium. This new-old stock aluminum frameset with the company's Storm Forte carbon fork has been built up with Campagnolo and Italmanubri (ITM) components with a new set of Miche wheels. View more photos of the bike here.

1997  BIANCHI  Trofeo  58 cm      $875

2008  COLNAGO  Extreme Power   52 sloping (like traditional 56cm)     $2000

The paint/decal work on the carbon fiber bicycle, which was part of my personal collection, mimics the famous Saronni bike of the 1980s. This machine is all about my love for Italian bicycles and parts - in this case Campagnolo, 3T and Ambrosio - that are well-crafted and stylish. You can see more photos here.

Early-1980s  LAZZARETTI  54 cm      $1150

Cicli Lazzaretti holds a special place in my heart, as I visited the shop during a 2011 trip to Rome with my late mother. The racks full of curvy Pinarello Prince frames inspired a future purchase of one of those Italian beauties. The shop at one time built fantastic steel frames, assembled with Columbus tubing, and this is a great example. I've built the bike up with Campagnolo Chorus 8-speed gruppo, as well as a set of the company's Delta wheels, and 3T stem/bars. See more photos here.

Campagnolo Chorus 8-speed group, including: CRANKSET (175mm, 53/39t), BRAKE/SHIFT LEVERS, DERAILLEURS, BRAKES and HEADSET; HANDLEBAR- 3T Forma SL Ergopower 2 (39cm); STEM- 3T (1A style, 110mm); WHEELSET- Campagnolo Delta with 14-25t cassette and NEW Michelin Dynamic Classic tires

IN THE WORKS...

2022  BATTAGLIN  Speed CE  54 cm      (est. $800-850)

This special project is planned to be the "Cobbles Edition", featuring custom paint and graphics. The rather boring present scheme will be stripped, but the hot red will return as the overall color. Images of legendary riders who have won the Tour of Flanders/Paris-Roubaix multiple times will adorn the frame. Components are TBA, but some teaser shots of the artwork can be seen here.

Early-1990s  PEUGEOT  1100 Team Line  56 cm      (est. $850-900)

This rare frame was constructed in partnership with Vitus, using carbon tubes bonded to aluminum lugs. I plan to build up this bicycle with appropriate French parts, primarily the Sachs-Huret "New Success" 8-speed group.

1988  COLNAGO  Super  54 cm      (est. $900-950)

I always thought this classic Italian paint scheme was best in blue or green, as it sort of resembles fish scales. The bike came with perfectly fine Shimano 600 "Tricolor" components, but I'll be swapping in 8-speed Campagnolo gruppo.

Mid-1980s  CIÖCC  Designer '84  54cm      (est. 800-850)

While the high-quality Italian brand might not have the reputation of Colnago and Pinarello, that might only be because they've never had a presence in the pro peloton. Made with Columbus SL steel tubing, this classic comes equipped with Campagnolo and Cinelli components. It just needs some cleaning and polishing, and it will be ready to go!

Late-1980s  SCAPIN  SL  54cm      (est. 800-850)

Another "newbie-brand" for me, as this is my first build with this Italian marque. Umberto Scapin (skah-PEEN) had a shop in Piove di Sacco, about 15 miles southeast of Padua. His early 1980s bikes had beautiful cromovelato finishes; while this isn't one of those, the dark green and silver is quite attractive. I'm contemplating a retro/modern build with some Ultegra parts I have lying about the shop  - unless a prospective customer suggests something different!
