Wanted Bottecchia (to replace one stolen many years ago)

[raidan73]

I'm not expecting to get any replies but thought it was worth putting it out there, just in case. Back in the early 90's I bought a small Bottecchia from chap who came into the LBS I worked in. It was black and pink with a chrome fork. I built it up with a mix of parts, mostly 105 and Ultegra from memory, and put lots of miles on it. I moved to Glasgow a few years later and the bike served me as a commuter until one day it was stolen from my workplace, never to be seen again I'd love the opportunity to buy another but despite searching over the years, albeit only on and off, I've never seen another in the same colour. If anyone has one lurking in the shed, or comes across one on their travels/searches I'd be grateful for a heads up and have the opportunity to own another.

Thanks in advance

Really hope you find this. It took me 25 years to find and build the Raleigh I had when I was a student and it felt so good finally to do it!

Thanks! Not holding my breath but stranger things have happened

Very similar I think, but with pink decals and a chrome fork

Can’t help I’m afraid but here’s a photo of my white Bottecchia as a little bump-ette.

Hope you find it in the end.
