Wilier Triestina - Chrome-plated Ramato - Bicycle - Before 2000

The Wilier Triestina "Ramata" is one of the most celebrated, recognizable, and sought-after vintage bicycles among collectors worldwide.
A true gem of Italian cycling craftsmanship, it owes its fame to an unmistakable aesthetic that blends retro elegance with a painting process that was unique for its time.
The "Secret" Behind the Color: *Cromovelato*
The feature that immediately catches the eye is its mirrored copper color (hence the name "Ramata"). This captivating finish is not merely paint, but the result of a complex technique known as *cromovelato*:
> Historical Note: The brand was founded in Trieste (hence "Triestina") in the post-WWII era. The acronym W.I.L.I.E.R. stands for "*W l'Italia Liberata E Redenta*" ("Long live a liberated and redeemed Italy"), a patriotic slogan linked to the history of the city.

The bike retains its original paintwork; while there are some minor imperfections due to age and use, they are not overly noticeable.
Please note that this is the "Super Leggera" (super-light) model, meticulously detailed—including the "W" pantographs on the frame lugs, a feature found on only the rarest examples.
