1960s Girardengo Road Bicycle 59cm

You could be the proud owner of this vintage Girardengo road bicycle. Constant Girardengo was a professional Italian road and track cyclist from 1912 to 1936. Twice he won the Tour of Italy, six times the Milan-San Remo and three times and the Giro di Lombardia. He holds the record for victories in Italian championships on the road with nine wins. Girardengo Bicycles was founded by the great professional and his two sons Luciano and Ettore in Alessandria, Novi Ligure, Italy. This example appears to be from the 60s and is in decent shape.

BIKE CONDITION

Everything appears to be original with the exceptions of the new bar tape, tires and Sugino crankset. The paint still shines nicely but has a fair amount or minor marks and scratches throughout the frame. The chrome on the lugs and some of the parts has surface corrosion (most notably near the head tube and fork). The wheels could use some truing but are free of major bends or cracks. The frame is also free of bends and cracks. The Universal brake hoods are cracked from age and should be replaced. The tires are older but hold air decently.

This bicycle has not been checked over by a mechanic and we would recommend a full tune-up before riding.

This bike is being sold as-is. Please see photographs for details.
