Looking for info please

[Welshphil]

Hi all, I'm looking for info on a deceased family members bike. He was a very keen amatuer competitor back in the day but the bike in question had very little use as I believe he bought it just before he had a major accident that left him unable to ride again. The bike is yellow and fluorescent pink and marked as Campione, on the handlebars there's a sticker saying Made in Italy BR. N. 22201 B/75. It has Shimano 600 gears and a suntour superbe derailler. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Phil

Probably worth putting campione in the title otherwise no-one will easily find your post

Thank you Sir

Here’s an example of another Campione:

According to this they were made by the Flandria factory in Belgium. Yours is set up as a time trial bike, and from the paint job I would guess it’s from the late 80s or early 90s, but with some older parts used, like the rear derailleur (which is not unusual, presumably he’d set it up himself as he wanted it, rather than buying it as a fully built bike).

The Made in Italy sticker just refers to the bar tape, by the way, nothing to do with the bike itself.

It looks like a good quality frameset, anyway.

Very cool paintwork.

Interesting bike. Do you have a photo of the head badge? What is the bottom bracket threading? Thanks!

Is that a stopwatch on the handlebar stem?…proper old school

Cool! Another Campione.

This means I get to show off mine, a "Corsa Sportivo".



The problem with brand names like this it is nigh impossible to find any useful information on the internet.

Very nice. Made by some Italian-obsessed Belgians, I guess. What’s the tubing used on yours?

Thank you Sir, I reckon he bought it late 80's, I have the wheels and saddle as well so should set it up I suppose

Thank you, I can do that tomorrow but I know absolutely nothing about bikes so you'll have to describe that in idiot proof terms please
