Chesini C70 - anyone else got one?

[ashleynorris]

Hi all, I have just purchased a Chesini C70 frame. I know a bit about it. It was to mark the 70th anniversary of the company. It is also Columbus Genius. But does anyone have one, or have any more info? Was it ever used by a racing team? Thanks

It was top of the range in 1995. Thats the only info out there.

Why not contact company seeing as though you have a 70th anniversary model as I’m sure they’d respond because of this

That’s a shame as they can’t think much of there past then & just in it for profits by the sounds of it..hardly a passionate brand to involve yourself in……so sell it on……..

Well to be fair they said. Yes it is a nice bike and top of the range etc. But I'd love to see some pics of it racing, brochures etc.

I have one, just got done building it. I have had for 4 years, n.o.s.. I rate it as one of the best vintage steel bikes I have ever ridden. I am 59, x racer, been cycling since 1978.

Red in colour?

No, mine as a story. Bought it unpainted, didn't get finished at factory. Bought on ebay years ago, it was in painter "prison" for 3 years. Got it back, painter went out of business. Being tired of dealing with painters, just decided to build and ride it. I did a rush job of decals not carrying, just wanted to ride it.
