80's Scapin. Pantographed. Campy Chorus. Eroica

Scapin racing bikes were recognized for their performance and elegance. This example is no exception.

Size: The actual (center to center) top tube measures 58.5cm. The bottom bracket to top of seat tube is 60cm. The standover height is 85cm.

Condition: This bike is in very good condition.

Frame: The frame is made of Columbus SPX -- a steel of choice in the 80’s as it was double-butted thicker steel usually reserved for professional riders’ frames. The frame is true and shows no dents whatsoever. The original paint presents well, decals are generally intact, even if there are occasional minor blemishes (shown in last photos). The aesthetic attention paid to the frame by Scapin is impressive. The chrome is in very good condition and the pantographing is very fine work.

Color: The frame is a lustrous light grey.

Groupset: The full Campagnolo Chorus group set is clean and in fine working order. The crank has 54/39 rings, while the rear 6 speed cluster is 15-24.

Wheelset: The Mavis MA2 racing wheels (700c clinchers) with Campy hubs are true, the spokes correctly tensioned, and the bearings are buttery smooth. The wheels spin easily and endlessly.

Eroica eligibility: This bike is an excellent Eroica candidate as it meets the entry requirements of these classic events. It has 36-spoke wheels, the gear levers are on the down tube, and the Campagnolo brake levers allow for cable routing in two ways -- out of the top of the levers (Eroica-style) or hidden. It is currently hidden. The seat is recent, but an era-correct saddle can be included in the sale.

Shipping: I have a bike box and will work with the buyer to help find the best shipping estimate out there.
