The Italian Job…..

This is my on going project of rebuilding this 85 Gianni Motta Personal 2001 into a single speed I’ve always visioned it to be.

This bike originally had full Campy Record component dated back to the 80s when i first bought it. Those old enough will remember the Triangular Delta Brakes….. … And after a few year of ownership, it went on to have Shimano Dura Ace from the early 00s till only a few years ago when i TRIED to convert it to a single speed….and gave up…

Here is a picture of it when it was at a half ass Fixie state…. still has the 8 speed cogs, and Dura Ace brake lever/shifters.

And the finished product!

Radial action up front.

16T

Decked out with White Knogs…..

Gold Bling drives the gears…and nipple action

Typical Side on shot.

So I’m 110% happy with the result. And best of all, I haven’t felt so good hopping onto a bike in a LOOONNG time.
