Hello,
I was hoping someone on the list had some vintage photos, magazine photos and articles perhaps, of Bottecchia bikes from the 50's and 60's. I have a '71 Bottecchia and have plenty of info from the 70's on but have seen very little from earlier dates. I know team Molteni rode them in the mid to late 60's and there were several different pro teams from '49 to approx '58 that were sponsored by Bottecchia. Does anyone have some photos of these earlier teams? Aldo Ross perhaps?
I know the Bottecchia mark doesn't demand the same interest as Colnago, Masi and Cinelli bikes, but I like the fact its named after a cycling great.
Please pass along any history on this mark or its sponsered teams. Thanks!
Regards, Rich Robinson
