Description:
Somec, hand-built in Lugo di Romagna, Italy, is renowned for its exceptional frame-building craftsmanship and extravagant details like the signature tulip cutouts and beautiful pantographs. This classic "Italian Racer" from 1981 features its original burgundy paint with elegant yellow accents. The custom build carefully curates high-performance Italian components from the early 1980s: a bombproof wheelset featuring Mavic MA 2 clincher rims laced to silky smooth Campagnolo Record hubs, stopped by the legendary Modolo Speedy brakes with drilled levers. The absolute highlight is the NOS Gipiemme Crono Sprint aero crankset, which pairs perfectly with the Campagnolo 980 rear derailleur, emphasizing the period-correct "Custom Build" character. A highly stylish, authentic, and reliable classic, ready for everyday riding.
Condition:
Used. Completely refurbished and serviced at the RSB workshop in Munich. Frame and fork show no dents or cracks. Mechanically, the bike is in flawless, completely restored condition. All bearings have been completely overhauled, and the bike has been fitted with premium new wear parts.
Is the bicycle ready to ride & how much assembly is needed?
Yes, 100%. Every bike is completely overhauled, greased, and pre-adjusted in our Munich workshop before dispatch. To pack it securely, we only remove the wheels and pedals and turn the handlebars. Reassembly takes less than 15 minutes with standard Allen keys and a pedal wrench.
Can I view the bike in person or via live video call?
Absolutely. In-person viewings and test rides are available by appointment at our workshop in Munich. For international buyers, we regularly schedule 1-on-1 live video calls (WhatsApp / FaceTime) to walk you through every pantograph, chrome detail, and component in real time.
Are the components authentic and the frame checked for damage?
Yes. We strictly verify frame alignment, tubing sets, and date codes. We guarantee zero structural cracks, deep rust, or dents. Every groupset is inspected for authenticity and disclosed transparently with high-resolution photos.
How does worldwide shipping, insurance & customs work?
We ship fully insured via DHL / DHL International with a tracking number. For orders outside the EU (USA, UK, Asia, etc.), we provide all official export documentation. Standard transit takes approx. 3–5 days within Europe and 7–12 days overseas.
