Eric's Morris

     This bike belongs to one of our employees, Eric.  I wish I had a before picture of this bike, it was CRUSTY! He spent many hours polishing, detailing, tuning up, and sourcing parts. It is an Italian marque, Morris. Lesser known, but maker of high quality frames. Original decals and very nice chromovelato finish. The whole frame is chrome plated and then a red translucent laquer is applied over the chrome. When the sun hits it, it SHINES! Very Italian. He built it up with a mostly Gipiemme, Modolo, Galli group set. that fork was Sooo rusty, he took it down to the clean metal underneath and plans to get it chrome plated to finish the build off. very nice work all around. Enjoy the photos!

For Sale: 49CM Viner special professional road bike

     It's spring again, and I like to post a couple nicer bikes for sale here to try and make room for incoming bikes. This is an excellent starter road racing bike for a more petite individual. Viner is an Italian company that makes and made high end road bikes. This is the Special Professional model, which was top end in its day. It has a 49 CM CTC seat tube, 52CM CTC top tube, and the stand over height is 30". i date this frame to around the mid to late 70's. Columbus tubing I assume as all the others I have seen also had Columbus tubing. The bike is very light weight. It  appears to have a replacement fork of high quality with fully sloping crown. The original would probablly have had a flat crown with stars cast  in the shoulders of the crown.

     It is equipped as follows:

• Galli front and rear derailleurs, brakes, brake levers, cranks, shifters, and pedals.
• Ofmega steel headset.
• Specialized hubs laced to unknown double wall clincher rims which are 27".
