A rare piece of European cycling heritage

We have the honor to auction this magnificent Champion road bike, the 1967 “premium collection” model. A true testament to the golden age of artisanal cycling, this bike is a collectible piece of rare elegance, aimed at vintage mechanical enthusiasts and collectors of prestige bicycles.

History and legacy

The Champion brand, often associated with the excellence of handmade frames of the era, stands out here with exquisitely fine steel tubing work. This 1967 model embodies the technological transition of the mid-1960s, combining the robustness of large-diameter frames with a top-tier selection of European components. Wearing its original green livery with “Italian-style” detailing, this bike exudes an authentic patina and aristocratic presence.

Prestigious technical specifications

frame: high-quality steel, 65 cm center-to-top, ideal for tall riders (recommended from 194 cm).

drivetrain: Campagnolo Gran Sport group (2x5 speeds), an icon of reliability and precision of the era.

braking: Mafac Dural Forge calipers, the standard of excellence for powerful and progressive braking in the 1960s.
