About Bicycles Italia Vintage
Bicycles Italia Vintage is just me. One bloke with a passion for classic racing bikes and a commitment to doing things properly. I set high standards for my work and don’t cut corners, whether I’m restoring a bicycle, a rare frame, wheel building or simply renovating parts.
I’ve spent years in the European bicycle industry, and I still get a buzz from working with bikes, parts, and bringing old machines back to life. I specialise in Concorde, Gazelle, Rossin, Fanini, Bottecchia and Campagnolo, but I’m always interested in anything with a bit of history.
As a former European distributor, for many well known brands, I have connections to many past suppliers and manufacturers. Business, is mostly 'word of mouth' and repeat customers. I take pride in my work, and I'd like to think, customer reviews, reflect that.
If I don’t have your frame in stock, there’s a good chance I can find it, or usually know where to look. Just give me a shout.
