Description from the seller
Boschetti Vintage 28 Inches - Vintage Steel Racing Bicycle with SunTour VX Miche
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Up for auction is a fascinating and iconic vintage racing bicycle signed Boschetti, a renowned Italian frame-builder brand known for the creativity of its finishes. The steel frame, handcrafted with excellent workmanship, stands out for its unmistakable gradient livery in 80s/90s style in white, hot pink, and electric blue, enriched by the original Boschetti graphics on the main tubes and the fork crown. A highly appealing piece for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage cycling.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS AND VISIBLE COMPONENTS
The bicycle features a well-balanced vintage setup. The drivetrain uses a SunTour VX Accushift rear derailleur paired with a SunTour front derailleur, classic-action downtube shifters, and a vintage aluminum Miche crankset with double chainrings and traditional metal pedals with toe clips. The braking system includes aluminum brake arms operated by classic flat handlebars with contrasting red cables. The cockpit consists of an old-school handlebar stem and a vintage drop bar wrapped in light blue tape. The setup is completed by a light-colored classic saddle, dual bottle cages with a small pump mounted to the frame, and 28-inch wheels with aluminum rims.
CONDITION AND RECOMMENDED WORKS
Being a preserved example kept in storage, the frame structure and mechanical components are in generally good condition. Since it is a vintage bicycle kept idle, before road use a routine check is recommended, along with cleaning and lubricating the chain and drivetrains, adjusting the gear and brake cables, and inspecting tire condition. Visually, the paint retains its vivid original colors, while showing typical signs of aging, light superficial scratches, and an antique patina.
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING NOTES
The lot will be packed with extreme care and shipped via tracked insured courier. Note that, to ensure safer shipping and reduce package volume, some parts of the bicycle may be disassembled such as pedals, saddle, rims, and the handlebars may be turned.
