Grandini

[Slaxford]

Here's a Grandini on the front cover of Sporting Cyclist. I hadn't realised it was a Grandini until I read the Youngs entry in Classic Lightweights mentioned above. Note the 'Fiorelli' style round fork crown and the 'fast back' seat stays. An early model from late 50's/1960 I reckon given the date of the magazine.

The guy on that Grandini won the tour that year on that bike

Hi guys bought a Grandini from Youngs in Lee high road around 1980 in fact Ernie Young sold it to me still got the receipt £495 back then he reckoned I’d be back in 20 years for another one. Unfortunately when I went back 25 yeas later dear Ernie had died so I still have this bike hanging in the garage. Still rides good but I use a more modern bike as I’m 78 and the brakes are a lot easier to use on the new one.

78 and still riding don't stop pedaling
