Galmozzi-Lazzaretti ca. 1971 Vintage Italian Bicycle - $1,000 (walnut creek)
QR Code Link to This Post
A spectacular and rare Francesco Galmozzi-made Italian lugged steel race bike from around 1971!
Sold through Lazzaretti, the oldest continuously operating, family-owned bike shop in Rome.
The relationship between Galmozzi and Lazzaretti, which started in the 1930s, has been well-documented by Galmozzi biographer Manuel Dall'Olio and others. Galmozzi is considered one of the handful of great Italian bike makers of the classic Eroica age, alongside others such as Masi, Pogliaghi, and Pela.
This bike appears to be nearly all original. Paint is nearly perfect, with a few small scratches and scraped decals. See photos. Bar tape, saddle, and brake hoods may have been updated at some point, but they are period correct to the build.
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE IMAGES OF THE SEAT TUBE, YOU WILL SEE THE FAINT IMPRESSION OF THE GALMOZZI ROOSTER WHICH HE STAMPED ON ALL HIS BIKES. THE FRAME ALSO BEARS THE CLASSIC GALMOZZI HEAD LUGS TREATMENT.
Frame: 57cm ctc, both seat and top tube.
Original paint in excellent condition, Lazzaretti graphics and metal head badge
3TTT bar and stem with original decals
Martano textured tubular rims on Campy Record hubs (stamped 69) with Clement tires (not glued, added later).
Lyotard flat pedals.
Universal 68 brakes and levers with good hoods.
Campagnolo Nuovo Record drive train and derailleurs (rear, stamped 1971).
The original Lazzaretti-embossed frame pump.

Campagnolo seat post
I have added a Lazzzaretti/Olympic rings-pantographed chainring, but will include the original Campagnolo chainring upon request.
I will also include Campagnolo Record pedals and brake calipers, if buyer desires an “all-Campy” build.
