1958 Capo Modell Campagnolo

(Click for full photo)

1958 Capo Modell Campagnolo Head lugs and fork crown view of late 1958 or early 1959 Capo "Modell Campagnolo," serial number 40324, repainted by CyclArt. Although the paint scheme was copied from an original 1960 Capo, the metallic red here is a bit richer than the original candy red. (By the way, the Austrian flag comprises three broad horizontal stripes, in a red-white-red pattern.) The original Weinmann 999 centerpull brake calipers and Campag. downtube shift levers are being used in the restoration/update.
