Description from the seller
Atala Special Corsa Competizione Vintage - Racing Bicycle in Columbus Steel Campagnolo Chorus
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Up for auction a splendid and elegant vintage bicycle signed Atala, model Special Corsa Competizione, outfitted in an old city/café racer style. The frame is made with high-quality Columbus steel tubing and features a vivid light-blue paint finish, paired with an elegant front fork and chromed rear stays. The frame includes the classic Atala Milano crest on the head tube, the italic Atala on the downtube, and pantographs on the frame joints.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND VISIBLE COMPONENTS
The bicycle is equipped with a prestigious vintage Campagnolo setup. The drivetrain features a Campagnolo Chorus/Victory rear derailleur, Campagnolo clamp-on front derailleur, downtube shifters, and a Campagnolo aluminium double-chainring crankset. The braking system uses high-end Campagnolo Chorus brake calipers. The cockpit has been expertly configured for touring or urban riding with an aluminium touring/road handlebar, brown leather grips with visible stitching, dedicated brake levers, and a chrome vintage bell branded Atala. The saddle is a blue model with studded detailing, mounted on an aluminium seatpost. Completing the configuration are a light-blue bottle cage with a vintage Cobra bottle and prestigious wheels with blue-metallic Ambrosio rims shod with Vittoria Zaffiro tires.
CONDITION AND RECOMMENDED WORKS
Being a recently refurbished vintage exemplar that has remained on display or in storage, the frame structure and mechanical components are in generally excellent conservational condition. As it is a vintage vehicle with precision components, a quick general tune-up, chain lubrication, and a check of cables and fastenings before heading out are recommended. Visually the paint is bright and well-preserved, with only very slight signs of aging on the chrome and on components that highlight its authenticity and great charm.
SHIPPING AND PACKING NOTES
The lot will be packed with utmost care and shipped via courier with tracking and insurance. Note that, to ensure safer shipping and reduce the package volume, parts of the bicycle such as pedals, saddle, rims, and the handlebar may be removed.
