50cm Colnago Nuovo Mexico with Campagnolo 50th Anniversary Classic Road Bike
£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
£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.

53cm Somec Air c.1988 Vintage Road Bike
£1,395.00
✓ Original 1980s Race Bike
✓ Lightweight - 9.37 kg
✓ Hand-Built in Italy
✓ Professionally Refurbished
Born out of a pure passion for cycling, Oliviero Gallegati introduced Somec to the world back in 1973. When we say world, we actually mean the lucky few from the small town of Lugo in the Romagna region of Italy who had the pleasure of being the first cyclist to own these magnificent bicycles. With a name derived from the ‘Societa Meccahnica’ (Mechanic’s society), it’s no surprise that technology was at the forefront of everything that Somec produced, and over the years they became famous not only for their exquisite paint but also for what could be described as futuristic design features, such as the arched brake bridge and integrated seat collar. This kind of detail results in a rare ability to look at a Somec and know that it’s going to be a killer bike to ride, it sounds weird but we’re yet to be proven wrong.
The Air is a very special model, combining Columbus SLX with their profiled Air tubing, the reason it gets the name of course and one of Somec's finest frames available at the time. With wonderful cut-outs & engravings all over the place, a generous helping of chrome & the trademark Somec paintwork it's a real work of art. We don't always see top-end Italian bikes with Shimano kit, but the Sante group was a desirable one back in the 80s and Somec were noted for their support of the Japanese kit, so it's actually quite refreshing to see and certainly makes for an impressive build.
The bike's been taken apart, inspected & re-built in our workshop so we know everything's working as it should. The frame is straight & true without any dents or dings - please inspect the photos for cosmetic condition, we've photographed the bike in detail so you can see the exact condition before purchasing.
