Re:

Gold show piece bikes have been produced many times over the years.

The most famous in 1979.

They are as much a part of cycling history as any other.

A bike is a pretty simple object so if you want to make one really special then what else are you to do?

These bike are incredibly well executed, just to find a full set of nos cinelli vip parts takes dedication.

Even if these are not to your taste you must be able to appreciate the skill and dedication to produce these.
