50cm Colnago Nuovo Mexico with Campagnolo 50th Anniversary Classic Road Bike
£4,675.00 £5,500.00
Wohoooooooooooooo.
What. A. Beauty.
You may be able to sense our excitement here. Our very own 1983 Colnago Nuovo Mexico with Campagnolo 50th Anniversary.
Made famous by none other than Guiseppe Saronni in 1982, the Colnago Nuovo Mexico is more than just a bicycle, it's a piece of art.
Built using Columbus SL tubing, the Nuovo Mexico is identified by the unique crimping on the top tube and the down tube. A special technique that paved the way for the famous Gilco tubing used on the Colnago Masters later that decade.
The model we have here is finished in a rather special and rare colourway. Built in 1983, and complete with Campagnolo's 50th Anniversary groupset, released in the same year, it's a very very special bike with the very very best kit; 3ttt handlebar & stem, Ambrosio Synthesis Super Professional rims, San Marco Concor saddle, and of course the best handlebar tape, Benotto Cellotape.
We're sure you'll share our excitement as you peruse through the photo gallery. If you wish to see it in the flesh then pop in to our London shop. It's a bike that needs to be seen in the flesh if you get the chance. Of course we can safely ship to any corner of the world too.
As with all our bikes, it's been fully stripped, inspected & professionally polished & re-built. The frame is straight & true without any dents or dings - please inspect the photos for cosmetic condition as we photograph the bikes so you can see the exact condition of the bike before purchasing.

52.5cm Kestrel 4000 Carbon Spectra Classic Carbon Road Racing Bike
£2,975.00 £3,500.00
The bike that started the carbon revolution, the most influential bike of the past 30 years, the bike that changed it all. Have a read around online and you'll find these quotes written about the Kestrel 4000. They're not wrong.
Patented in 1991 by Brent J. Trimble, this was the 1st commercial example of a composite carbon fibre bicycle frame. Produced in 1986, and finally launched for the 1987 season, this really did take the cycling industry by storm. Officially brought to us by Cycle Composites Inc, the company set up by Trek founder Bevil Hogg and Tom French to help commercialise the genius of Trimble’s designs, but under the name of the Kestrel 4000. It really did change it all.
By 1987 it was on the cover of every cycling magazine and beyond. The use of carbon fibre wasn't particularly new to cycling by this point, with examples dating back as far the 1970s, but never before had we seen a one-piece carbon frame, especially one that looked so futuristic.
Like it, loathe it, or simply think it's 'OK', you cannot deny the Kestrel it's crown. It really is a piece of cycling history.
Our example is from 1990, towards the latter end of the 4000s production, which ended in 1992. Kitted out with Campagnolo Croce D'Aune parts, including the iconic Delta brakes.
The parts are in excellent condition throughout, the frame does have chips to the paint as you can see in the photos, but the paint on these frames was prone to this. It's been fully stripped & re-built in the workshop by our skilled mechanics but originality has been preserved. It's ready to ride away, but this is one for the collectors, surely.

54.5cm Joco Ronde Van Europa c.1956 Classic Track Bike
£2,337.50 £2,750.00
To discover any Joco is a special thing, so you can imagine our excitement when we got our hands on an original 1950s one!
Joco was established in 1919 by Matheus Antionius ('Toon') de Jonge, taking its name from the cycle repair shop's title, Jonge & Co, although wasn't until 1924 when they started manufacturing bikes.
By the 1940s Joco cycles sported the slogan 'Light as a Butterfly'. They genuinely were up there with the best of the best, and with a price tag to boot.
At the very end of the 1950s they'd moved out of Amsterdam and in to Hilversum, and by the 70s they'd stopped manufacturing bikes altogether.
If you get the chance to ask a Dutch classic cycling enthusiast about Joco bikes, guaranteed you'll get a great response. Their legend really has lived on. We're so happy that we got hold of one, having missed out on one many years ago, and it's instantly apparent just why they're held in such high regard.
This one is a Ronde Van Europa (Tour of Europe) model, built with Reynolds 531 Double Butted tubing, finished in Joco's trademark 'Italia' style, with chromed Nervex 45/159 lugs, stunning box lining and probably the nicest paint scheme we've ever seen. Considering its age, the chrome and enamel are still in very presentable condition, not without patina of course, but we'd much rather see it like this in its original glory than it go through the paint shop only to lose all its character.
As for the kit, it's all about the Titan; adjustable track stem, steel track bars & pantographed seatpost all courtesy of the legendary Belgian parts maker. The wheels are a combination of Campag Grand Sport front & 110mm FB Brevette rear hub laced to Fiamme Sprint rims, all genuine 1950s attire. Crankset is an early 151 BCD Campagnolo Pista set with matching bottom bracket, this we assume to have been updated from cottered to cotterless at some point in the 60s.
The beauty of track bikes usually lies in their simplicity, but this Joco is a different kind of beast. Toon's approach back in the 1920s was to revolt against the bland uniform of racing bikes of the time, where every marque sported the same black paint. His vision was to introduce fresh, striking colours to his fleet, and was the first to do so. He certainly produced something striking here, and whichever home this goes to next is sure to be a happy one.
As with all our bikes, it's been fully stripped, inspected, professionally polished & re-built. The frame is straight & true - please inspect the photos for cosmetic condition as we photograph the bikes so you can see the exact condition of the bike before purchasing.
