Hi Bob, Mmm. Not sure if this Faema bike is actually one of Eddy's?

I'm a big fan of Eddy and I can't say I've ever seen photos of him on a frame with the slotted chainstays...[Gimondi yes, on his Chiardo?]........this frame also looks too large for Eddy going by the size of the head tube.

It's obviously got NOS Campag stuff on it, which some of it is of a later period, such as the brakes with plastic coated brake pad holders....on a previous photo of what I assume to be the same bike it had the black alloy pedals and a later front gear [can't see the detail on this image] but the steel Cinelli stem, though very desirable, is wrong for this bike...... Just my thoughts, which may be totally wrong of course....

Cheers Kevin Sayles Leeds West Yorkshire UK

Bob,

Love the bike!

Have you seen these photos of Eddy's original bike - now restored by Alberto Masi himself...
