This is great-grandfather Odiel his personal ride. He raced Milan-SanRemo, the Tour of Belgium and many other races with this bike. During the war, the germans confiscated all the bicycles, so he took it completely apart and buried everything under ground. The spokenipples, he kept separately in a box for matches. After the war he dug up all the parts and put it together again as it is now.

We are just back from Vicenza - Italy, to celebrate Campagnolo's 80th anniversary. It was amazing !
In the next days I'll try to post some more info about this event.
Ok guys, we have been a little quiet here lately, but have been very busy. We wanted to do something for the 100th Tour, so in between building frames we have been preparing some films related to the stages. This will in the end result in a series of artworks created during these sessions.

Thanks Richard !!
We decided to do something only about 2 months ago. After many brainstorms sessions, sketches of the ideas, planning, searching the right props etc... it's great to see our ideas become reality. To be clear, we do every film after each stage. So no films have been made beforehand !
The Tour has just begun, so many more artworks to come.
Yes, finally the first restday tomorrow :-)
Thanks, Tim ! In the series there are no plans to paint a frame instead of the "tableaux". We do have other ideas however to do special art-frames, but that not for the near future (probably).
Congratulations and infinite thanks for making real such an inspirational work.
This kind of initiatives are what can really make a difference on such saturated world as bicycle business. It makes me feel same kind of multidisciplinar thrill as when enjoying the rewarding pleasure of admiring any of Dario's works, or Tyler's techniques, or Richard's thoughts, or many other unique minds able to reach a place where much more than bicycles are happening in a compelling way that makes you feel humans do still have a lot to say over highly effective technology without the unrepeteable labyrinthine creative process of each mind.
Long life to all of you who do not follow paths, but make their own. Again, thanks and congratulations.
