Dear listmembers, My favourite local bike shop has discovered three forgotten bikes in the attic. I am helping to sell these bikes and will handle the shipping. So I posted pictures of the bikes in my wooljersey account and offer the bikes to this list before thy go to ebay. All three bikes are made by Kotter of Albuch in southern germany. Kotter was sponsoring a racing team in the eighties, Didi Thurau rode for them in 1981 and 1982. The frames of this bikes were made in Italy either by Romani or Chesini or by another smaller contract builder. The painting was done in Albuch, the shop owner rememberd that he could order virtually any colour back in the day. All three bikes have a complete Campy GS gruppo including headsets. Two bikes even come with GS pedals, one even has the GS seatpost. More details for the single bikes and prices asked:

sponsoring) 57cm frame Varese branded bar+stem combo, Benotto red

These bikes were middle-class models and were never ridden. What's unusual im my opinion is the use of cpmplete gruppos instead of the typical mix in similiar ranged bikes. I can take more pictures of details if necessary. I will personally pack and ship the bikes in order to make sure all is there and nothing gets damaged. Please check out the pics and meke me an offer if the asked price seems inappropriate.
