Description

This extraordinary racing bike from 1983 is not only almost as good as new, but is also equipped with the best components from the time: the 50th anniversary group from Campagnolo. The frame was only made 20 times in a small bike shop in Pordenone. It was specially designed for campagnolo’s 50th anniversary group. Fifteen of the frames were built for customers and five for private collection. The Cicli Zanella bikeshop in Pordenone still exists today and is run by Dino's grandson. Dino's son is said to still be working there at the age of 70.

The limited anniversary group from Campagnolo appeared in 1983, which, with a few exceptions, is strongly reminiscent of the Super Record group at that time. It was sold in a black suitcase and each owner was allowed to register for their own membership card. Most parts, unlike the normal Super Record group, have 24 carat gold details and all possible screws and axles are made of titanium. Also new is the screw ring, which is also made of titanium.

The special green shimmering lacquer is called Cromovelato - that's the name of a completely chrome-plated frame which has been coated with a sheer layer of translucent lacquer. This gives this finish its depth and special shine.

All cables, including the shift cables, are laid inside. At that time, it was not only time-consuming but should also improve the aerodynamics: the frame set has a chrome fork, a chrome-plated rear as well as beautifully polished and painted sleeves and a lot of beautiful engravings.

The black 3TTT Criterium stem is also pantographed. The racing bike was disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled. Except for the tires, the parts are 100% original.
