Why build a vintage bicycle?
A vintage bike frame is often a great place to start for a custom build, providing a high quality platform to put your mark on. Keep it period correct, or go modern; the choice will depend on your budget, aesthetic preferences and riding aspirations.

Concorde road bike frameset
Gavina | ~ 1998-99
This is a high end Concorde racing frame that was most likely made in Italy, by Giovanni Pelizzoli, in the Bilato factory who also made frames for Ciocc and others. The Ciocc made Concordes are recognised by the presence of an Italian flag braze-on on the top tube. Note the race number holder too.
Columbus SL tubing and Columbus fork ends and drop outs.
The paint colours are sun faded but the paint is in other wise good condition.
The bike has been carefully cut & polished with correct/accurate decals applied.
Chrome is in good condition. There is some degradation on the the chain stay and a couple of small areas on the fork blades.
Fantastic patina that comes with a 30 plus year old frame or an ideal candidate for a full blown restoration.

Zapier road bike frameset
1970s / 1980s
Although this bike has Bardini decals, closer inspection suggests this is a repainted Zapier. The bottom bracket cutout pattern, brake bridge and seatstays are all good indicators. Morini and Ortelli are two other possible builders.
This frame is built with Columbus SL tubing and Campagnolo fork ends and drop outs. The paint and lug work are absolutely beautiful with minimal blemishes.
Mesmerising hanging on the wall or build it up and ride the hell out of it - a beautiful frameset worthy of a rigorous and thoughtful build. New decals or a respray can be discussed and organised.

Viner road bike frameset
1970s / 1980s
A beautiful example of this well regarded Swiss brand. Built using strong Columbus Cromor tubing, this frameset would make a great second bike or commuter. Paint and decals are immaculate and likely were re-done at some point in its recent history, while the chrome on the forks has some pitting, but may well clean up nicely with some fine steel wool and gentle buffing. Some lovely lugs and pantographing throughout.

1970s / 1980s
One of the oldest brands still producing bikes today, Daccordi is an icon of Italian Road bicycles. This particular frame is made of high end Columbus SL tubing with Campanolo fork ends and drop outs.
The paint and decals are original and shows the age of this frameset. It is well used with numerous chips and blemishes. There is a slight dent on the seat tube, but it does not affect the frame structurally or its performance.
This would make an incredible commuter or wet weather ride.
